Matthew 14

John the Baptist Beheaded
14 At that time(A) Herod the tetrarch(B) heard the report about Jesus. 2 “This is John the Baptist!” he told his servants. “He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”(C)
3 For Herod had arrested John, chained[a] him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,(D) 4 since John had been telling him, “It’s not lawful(E) for you to have her!” 5 Though he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd, since they regarded him as a prophet.(F)
6 But when Herod’s birthday celebration came, Herodias’s daughter danced before them[b] and pleased Herod. 7 So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. 8 And prompted by her mother, she answered, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter!” 9 Although the king regretted it, he commanded that it be granted because of his oaths and his guests. 10 So he sent orders and had John beheaded in the prison. 11 His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. 12 Then his disciples came, removed the corpse,[c] buried it, and went and reported to Jesus.
Feeding 5,000
13 When Jesus heard about it,(G) He withdrew from there by boat to a remote place to be alone. When the crowds heard this, they followed Him on foot from the towns. 14 As He stepped ashore,[d] He saw a huge crowd, felt compassion for them, and healed their sick.(H)
15 When evening came, the disciples(I) approached Him and said, “This place is a wilderness, and it is already late.[e] Send the crowds away so they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
16 “They don’t need to go away,” Jesus told them. “You give them something to eat.”
17 “But we only have five loaves and two fish here,” they said to Him.
18 “Bring them here to Me,” He said. 19 Then He commanded the crowds to sit down[f] on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.(J) 20 Everyone ate and was filled. Then they picked up 12 baskets full of leftover pieces!(K) 21 Now those who ate were about 5,000 men, besides women and children.
Walking on the Water
22 Immediately(L) He[g] made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds. 23 After dismissing the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone.(M) 24 But the boat was already over a mile[h] from land,[i] battered by the waves, because the wind was against them. 25 Around three in the morning,[j] He came toward them walking on the sea.(N) 26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 Immediately Jesus spoke to them. “Have courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(O)
28 “Lord, if it’s You,” Peter answered Him, “command me to come to You on the water.”
29 “Come!” He said.
And climbing out of the boat, Peter started walking on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strength of the wind,[k] he was afraid. And beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out His hand, caught hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”(P) 32 When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 Then those in the boat worshiped Him and said, “Truly You are the Son of God!”(Q)
Miraculous Healings
34 Once they crossed over,(R) they came to land at Gennesaret.(S) 35 When the men of that place recognized Him, they alerted[l] the whole vicinity and brought to Him all who were sick. 36 They were begging Him that they might only touch the tassel on His robe. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.(T)

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Pagkamatay ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo(A)
14 Nang panahong iyon, nabalitaan ni Herodes na pinuno ng Galilea ang tungkol kay Jesus. 2 Sinabi niya sa kanyang mga opisyal, “Siyaʼy si Juan na tagapagbautismo! Muli siyang nabuhay, kaya nakagagawa siya ng mga himala.”
3 Ipinahuli niya noon si Juan at ipinabilanggo, dahil tinutuligsa ni Juan ang relasyon niya kay Herodias na asawa ng kapatid niyang si Felipe. 4 Laging sinasabihan ni Juan si Herodes na hindi tamang magsama sila ni Herodias. 5 Gusto sanang ipapatay ni Herodes si Juan pero natakot siya sa mga Judio dahil itinuturing nilang propeta si Juan.
6 Nang dumating ang kaarawan ni Herodes, sumayaw para sa mga bisita ang dalagang anak ni Herodias na ikinatuwa naman ni Herodes. 7 Kaya isinumpa niyang ibibigay sa dalaga ang anumang hingin nito.
8 Sa udyok ng kanyang ina, sinabi ng dalaga, “Gusto ko pong ibigay nʼyo sa akin ang ulo ni Juan na nakalagay sa isang bandehado.” 9 Nalungkot ang hari sa kahilingang iyon. Pero dahil sa pangako niyang narinig mismo ng mga bisita, iniutos niya na gawin ang kahilingan ng dalaga. 10 Kaya pinugutan ng ulo si Juan sa loob ng bilangguan, 11 inilagay ang ulo niya sa isang bandehado at dinala sa dalaga. At ibinigay naman ito ng dalaga sa kanyang ina. 12 Ang bangkay ni Juan ay kinuha ng kanyang mga tagasunod at inilibing, at ibinalita nila kay Jesus ang nangyari.
Pinakain ni Jesus ang 5,000 Tao(B)
13 Nang mabalitaan iyon ni Jesus, sumakay siya sa isang bangka at pumunta sa isang tahimik na lugar. Nang malaman ng mga tao mula sa ibaʼt ibang bayan na nakaalis na si Jesus, lumakad sila patungo sa lugar na pupuntahan niya. 14 Kaya nang bumaba si Jesus sa bangka, nakita niya ang napakaraming tao. Naawa siya sa kanila at pinagaling niya ang mga may sakit sa kanila.
15 Nang gumagabi na, lumapit kay Jesus ang mga tagasunod niya at sinabi, “Nasa ilang na lugar po tayo at dumidilim na. Paalisin nʼyo na po ang mga tao para makapunta sila sa mga nayon at nang makabili ng pagkain nila.” 16 Pero sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Hindi na nila kailangang umalis. Kayo ang magpakain sa kanila.” 17 Sumagot sila, “Mayroon lang po tayong limang tinapay at dalawang isda.” 18 “Dalhin ninyo ang mga ito sa akin,” ang sabi ni Jesus. 19 Inutusan niya ang mga tao na maupo sa damuhan. Kinuha niya ang limang tinapay at dalawang isda. Tumingala siya sa langit at nagpasalamat sa Dios. Pagkatapos, hinati-hati niya ang tinapay at ibinigay sa mga tagasunod niya, at ibinigay naman nila ito sa mga tao. 20 Kumain silang lahat at nabusog. Pagkatapos, tinipon nila ang natirang pagkain, at nakapuno sila ng 12 basket. 21 Ang bilang ng mga lalaking kumain ay mga 5,000, maliban pa sa mga babae at mga bata.
Lumakad si Jesus sa Ibabaw ng Tubig(C)
22 Pagkatapos, pinasakay agad ni Jesus sa bangka ang mga tagasunod niya at pinauna sa kabila ng lawa, habang pinapauwi niya ang mga tao. 23 Nang makaalis na ang mga tao, umakyat siyang mag-isa sa isang bundok para manalangin. Inabot na siya roon ng gabi. 24 Nang oras na iyon, malayo na ang bangkang sinasakyan ng mga tagasunod niya. Sinasalpok ng malalaking alon ang bangka nila dahil pasalungat ito sa hangin. 25 Nang madaling-araw na, sumunod sa kanila si Jesus na naglalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig. 26 Pagkakita ng mga tagasunod na may naglalakad sa tubig, kinilabutan sila. At napasigaw sila ng “Multo!” dahil sa matinding takot. 27 Pero agad na nagsalita si Jesus, “Ako ito! Huwag kayong matakot. Lakasan ninyo ang inyong loob.” 28 Sumagot si Pedro sa kanya, “Panginoon, kung kayo nga iyan, papuntahin nʼyo ako riyan na naglalakad din sa tubig.” 29 “Halika,” sabi ni Jesus. Kaya bumaba si Pedro sa bangka at naglakad sa tubig patungo kay Jesus. 30 Pero nang mapansin niyang malakas ang hangin, natakot siya at unti-unting lumubog. Kaya sumigaw siya, “Panginoon, iligtas nʼyo ako!” 31 Agad naman siyang inabot ni Jesus at sinabi, “Kay liit ng pananampalataya mo. Bakit ka nag-alinlangan?” 32 Pagkasakay nilang dalawa sa bangka, biglang tumigil ang malakas na hangin. 33 At sinamba siya ng mga nasa bangka at sinabi, “Talagang kayo nga po ang Anak ng Dios.”
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang mga May Sakit sa Genesaret(D)
34 Nang makatawid sila ng lawa, dumaong sila sa bayan ng Genesaret. 35 Nakilala ng mga taga-roon si Jesus at ipinamalita nila sa mga karatig lugar na naroon siya. Kaya dinala ng mga tao kay Jesus ang mga may sakit sa kanila. 36 Nakiusap sila kay Jesus na kung maaari ay pahipuin niya ang mga may sakit kahit man lang sa laylayan[a] ng kanyang damit. At ang lahat ng nakahipo ay gumaling.
