Matthew 14
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
14 At that time Herod the governor heard the reports about Jesus,
2 And he said to his attendants, This is John the Baptist; He has been raised from the dead, and that is why the powers [a]of performing miracles are at work in Him.
3 For Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison [to [b]stow him out of the way] on account and for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
4 For John had said to him, It is not lawful or right for you to have her.(A)
5 Although he wished to have him put to death, he was afraid of the people, for they regarded John as a prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst [before the company] and pleased and fascinated Herod,
7 And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.
8 And she, being put forward and prompted by her mother, said, Give me the head of John the Baptist right here on a [c]platter.
9 And the king was distressed and sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered it to be given her;
10 He sent and had John beheaded in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in on a [d]platter and given [e]to the little maid, and she brought it to her mother.
12 And John’s disciples came and took up the body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
13 When Jesus heard it, He withdrew from there privately in a boat to a solitary place. But when the crowds heard of it, they followed Him [by land] on foot from the towns.
14 When He went ashore and saw a great throng of people, He had compassion (pity and deep sympathy) for them and cured their sick.
15 When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, This is a remote and barren place, and the day is now over; send the throngs away into the villages to buy food for themselves.
16 Jesus said, They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat.
17 They said to Him, We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.
18 He said, Bring them here to Me.
19 Then He ordered the crowds to recline on the grass; and He took the five loaves and the two fish, and, looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and blessed and broke the loaves and handed the pieces to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they picked up twelve [[f]small hand] baskets full of the broken pieces left over.
21 And those who ate were about 5,000 men, not including women and children.
22 Then He directed the disciples to get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent away the crowds.
23 And after He had dismissed the multitudes, He went up into the hills by Himself to pray. When it was evening, He was still there alone.
24 But the boat was by this time out on the sea, many furlongs [a furlong is one-eighth of a mile] distant from the land, beaten and tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them.
25 And in the fourth watch [between 3:00—6:00 a.m.] of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright.
27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I Am! Stop being afraid!(B)
28 And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.
29 He said, Come! So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus.
30 But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me [from death]!
31 Instantly Jesus reached out His hand and caught and held him, saying to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?
32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 And those in the boat knelt and worshiped Him, saying, Truly You are the Son of God!
34 And when they had crossed over to the other side, they went ashore at Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent around into all the surrounding country and brought to Him all who were sick
36 And begged Him to let them merely touch the fringe of His garment; and as many as touched it were perfectly restored.(C)

施洗約翰被殺(A)
14 那時，分封王希律聽見耶穌的名聲， 2 就對臣僕說：“這人是施洗的約翰，他從死人中復活，所以他身上有行神蹟的能力。” 3 原來希律為了他弟弟腓力的妻子希羅底的緣故，拘捕了約翰，把他捆綁，關在監裡， 4 因為約翰多次告訴他：“你佔有她是不合理的。” 5 他想殺約翰，但又害怕群眾，因為他們都認為約翰是個先知。 6 到了希律生日的那天，希羅底的女兒在眾人面前跳舞，希律非常高興， 7 就起誓答應她，無論求甚麼都給她。 8 她在母親的慫恿之下，說：“請把施洗的約翰的頭放在盤子上給我。” 9 王就憂愁，但因為誓言和在座的賓客，就下令給她。 10 他派人去，在監裡斬了約翰的頭， 11 把頭放在盤子上，拿來給那女孩子，她又帶給母親。 12 約翰的門徒前來，領了屍體，把它埋葬，然後去告訴耶穌。
給五千人吃飽的神蹟(B)
13 耶穌聽見了，就離開那裡，獨自坐船到曠野去。群眾聽見了，就從各城步行來跟隨他。 14 耶穌上了岸，看見一大群人，就憐憫他們，醫好了他們的病人。 15 黃昏的時候，門徒前來對他說：“這是曠野的地方，時間也不早了，請叫群眾散開，好讓他們往村裡去，買自己的食物吧。” 16 耶穌回答：“他們用不著離開，你們給他們吃吧！” 17 但門徒說：“我們這裡除了五個餅和兩條魚，甚麼也沒有。” 18 他說：“拿過來給我。” 19 於是吩咐群眾坐在草地上，拿起那五個餅兩條魚，望著天，祝謝了；然後把餅擘開，遞給門徒，門徒又分給群眾。 20 大家都吃了，並且吃飽了，他們把剩下的零碎拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。 21 吃的人，除了婦女和孩子，約有五千。
耶穌在海面上行走(C)
22 耶穌立刻催門徒上船，叫他們先到對岸去，他卻留下來叫群眾散開。 23 他解散了群眾，就獨自上山去禱告。到了晚上，他還是獨自一人在那裡。 24 那時門徒的船已經離岸數公里，因為逆風，被波浪沖擊。 25 天快亮的時候（“天快亮的時候”原文作“夜裡四更天”），耶穌在海面上向他們走過去。 26 門徒見他在海面上行走，就很驚慌，說：“有鬼啊！”並且恐懼得大叫起來。 27 耶穌立刻對他們說：“放心吧！是我，不要怕。” 28 彼得對他說：“主啊，如果是你，讓我在水面上到你那裡去。” 29 他說：“來吧！”彼得就從船上下來，行在水面上，走向耶穌那裡去。 30 但他一見風浪就害怕，快要沉下去的時候，就呼叫：“主啊！救我！” 31 耶穌馬上伸手拉住他，對他說：“小信的人哪，為甚麼疑惑？” 32 他們上了船，風就平靜了。 33 船上的人都拜他，說：“你真是 神的兒子。”
治好革尼撒勒的病人(D)
34 他們過到對岸，來到革尼撒勒的地區。 35 那地的人認出是耶穌，就把消息傳遍了那一帶。眾人把一切有病的人都帶來， 36 求耶穌讓他們只摸一摸他衣服的繸子，摸著的人就都痊愈了。

John the Baptist Beheaded(A)
14 At that time Herod(B) the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus,(C) 2 and he said to his attendants, “This is John the Baptist;(D) he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison(E) because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,(F) 4 for John had been saying to him: “It is not lawful for you to have her.”(G) 5 Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet.(H)
6 On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much 7 that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 9 The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted 10 and had John beheaded(I) in the prison. 11 His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. 12 John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it.(J) Then they went and told Jesus.
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(K)(L)
13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them(M) and healed their sick.(N)
15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 “We have here only five loaves(O) of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.(P) Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Water(Q)(R)
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.(S) Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,”(T) they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage!(U) It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(V)
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,”(W) he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”(X)
34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him 36 and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak,(Y) and all who touched it were healed.
