Matthew 14 Kata Mathaion 14
1En ekeino to kairo akouata Hērōdos tos tetraarchos tan akoan Iēsu,At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus 2kai legata toi paidoi autou; Houtos atō Iōannos tos baptistos; autos egerita apo toiu nekroiu, kai dia houtem tais dunamiais energalō en auto.and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.” 3Tos gar Hērōdos kratarantos ton Iōannon data ⸀auton kai ⸂en fulaka apotitheta⸃ dia Hērōdiadan tan gunaikan Filippou tou adelfou autou,Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, 4legate gar ⸂auto tos Iōannos;⸃ Ouk exestinatō si echarō autan;because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5kai thelarōntos auton apoktenara fobita ton ochlon, hoti hōs profēton auton echale.Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet. 6⸂genesiei de generantei⸃ tou Hērōdou orcheta tas thugatras tau Hērōdiadau en te mese kai areskata to Hērōdo,On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod 7hothen meta horkou homologata auta dōara hem ⸀ean aiteteia.so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked. 8tas de probibazirantas hupo tau mētērau autau; Dōasar mi, fēatō, hōde epi pinaxo tan kefalan Iōannou tou baptistou.Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 9kai ⸂lupirantos tos basilevos dia⸃ toin horkoin kai toin sunanakeiorōntoin keleuata dōira,The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted 10kai pemparantos apokefalizata ⸀ton Iōannon en ta fulaka;and sent to have John beheaded in the prison. 11kai ferita tas kefalas autou epi pinaxo kai dōita te korasie, kai ferata ta mētēra autau.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother. 12kai prosercharantois tois mathētois autou airala tem ⸀ptōmem kai thaptala ⸀auton, kai ercharantois apangelala to Iēso.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.
13⸂Akouarantos de⸃ tos Iēsus anachōrata ekeithen en ploie eis erēmon topon kata idian; kai akouarantois tois ochlois akolouthala auto pezē apo taiu polaiu.When Jesus heard about John, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds found out about it and followed Him on foot from the towns. 14kai ⸀exercharantos horata pollon ochlon, kai splanchnizita epi autoi kai therapeuata toin arrōstoin autoiu.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15opsēau de generantau proserchala auto tois ⸀mathētois legarōntois; Erēmos atō tos topos kai tas hōras ēdē parerchata; apoluasar toin ochloin, hina apercharantois eis tain kōmain agorazaleia heautoi brōmeim.When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.” 16tos de Iēsus legata autoi; Ouk chreian echalō aperchara; dōavar autoi vis esthiara.“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.” 17tois de legalō auto; Ouk echanō hōde ei mē pente artoin kai duo ichthoin.“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. 18tos de legata; Feravōr mi ⸂hōde autoin.⸃“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said. 19kai keleuarantos toin ochloin anaklinira epi ⸂tou chortou,⸃ labarantos toin pente artoin kai toin duo ichthoin, anableparantos eis ton ouranon eulogata kai klarantos dōata toi mathētoi toin artoin tois de mathētois toi ochloi.And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20kai esthiala pantois kai chortazila, kai airala tem perisseuarōntem teiu klasmeiu dōdeka kofinoin plēroin.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21tois de esthiarōntois ale androis hōsei pentakischilioi chōris gunaikaiu kai paidieiu.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.
22Kai eutheōs ⸀anankazata toin mathētoin embainara ⸀eis ploiem kai proagarō auton eis tem peran, heōs hou apoluateia toin ochloin.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds. 23kai apoluarantos toin ochloin anabainata eis tem orem kata idian proseuchera. opsēau de generantau monos ate ekei.After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone, 24tem de ploiem ēdē ⸂stadioin polloin apo tau gēau apechate,⸃ basanizorōntem hupo teiu kumeiu, ate gar enantios tos anemos.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25tetarta de fulaka tau nuktau ⸀erchata pros ⸀autoin peripatarōntos epi ⸂tan thalassan.⸃During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. 26⸂tois de mathētois horarantois auton⸃ epi ⸂tau thalassau⸃ peripatarōnton tarassila legarōntois hoti Fantasmem atō, kai apo tou fobou krazala.When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear. 27⸀euthuos de lalata ⸂autoi tos Iēsus⸃ legarōntos; Tharsavōr, mis amō; mē fobovōr.But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
28Apokrinirantos de ⸂auto tos Petros legata;⸃ Kurior, ei sis asō, keleuasar min ⸂erchara pros sin⸃ epi teim hudeim;“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.” 29tos de legata; Erchasar. kai katabainarantos apo teu ⸀ploieu Petros peripatata epi teim hudeim ⸂kai erchata⸃ pros ton Iēsun.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. 30bleparōntos de ton anemon ⸀ischuron fobita, kai archerantos katapontizorō krazata legarōntos; Kurior, sōzasar min.But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31eutheōs de tos Iēsus ekteinarantos tan cheiran epilabeta autou kai legatō auto; Oligopistor, eis tinem distazasa?Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?” 32kai ⸀anabainarantoiu autoiu eis tem ploiem kopazata tos anemos.And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down. 33tois de en te ⸀ploie proskunala auto legarōntois; Alēthōs theou huios asō.Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”
34Kai diaperarantois erchala ⸂epi tan gēan eis⸃ Gennēsaret.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. 35kai epignōskarantois auton tois androis tou topou ekeinou apostelala eis holan tan perichōran ekeinan, kai prosferala auto pantoin toin kakōs echarōntoin,And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him 36kai parakalale auton hina monem hapteleia teu kraspedeu teu himatieu autou; kai hosois haptela diasōzila.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
