The Good News According to Matthew
14. fejezet
1. vers
At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
2. vers
and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”
3. vers
For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4. vers
For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5. vers
When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6. vers
But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
7. vers
Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
8. vers
She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”
9. vers
The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,
10. vers
and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11. vers
His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.
12. vers
His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
13. vers
Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
14. vers
Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15. vers
When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.”
16. vers
But Jesus said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17. vers
They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
18. vers
He said, “Bring them here to me.”
19. vers
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, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
20. vers
They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21. vers
Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
22. vers
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23. vers
After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
24. vers
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25. vers
In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
26. vers
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
27. vers
But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
28. vers
Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
29. vers
He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
30. vers
But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31. vers
Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32. vers
When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33. vers
Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”
34. vers
When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35. vers
When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;
36. vers
and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
