Matthew 14
New King James Version
John the Baptist Beheaded(A)
14 At that time (B)Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus 2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.” 3 (C)For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. 4 Because John had said to him, (D)“It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 And although he wanted to put him to death, he feared the multitude, (E)because they counted him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod. 7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.
8 So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter.”
9 And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her. 10 So he sent and had John beheaded in prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12 Then his disciples came and took away the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
Feeding the Five Thousand(F)
13 (G)When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He (H)was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. 15 (I)When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”
16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, (J)He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Sea(K)
22 Immediately Jesus [a]made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 (L)And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. (M)Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now [b]in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him (N)walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, [c]“Be of good (O)cheer! [d]It is I; do not be afraid.”
28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw [e]that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of (P)little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Then those who were in the boat [f]came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly (Q)You are the Son of God.”
Many Touch Him and Are Made Well(R)
34 (S)When they had crossed over, they came [g]to the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick, 36 and begged Him that they might only (T)touch the hem of His garment. And (U)as many as touched it were made perfectly well.

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.
