Matthew 14

At that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.

In illo tempore audivit Herodes tetrarcha famam Jesu:

Ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ ἤκουσεν Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετραάρχης τὴν ἀκοὴν Ἰησοῦ,

And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works show forth themselves in him.

et ait pueris suis : Hic est Joannes Baptista : ipse surrexit a mortuis, et ideo virtutes operantur in eo.

καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ: οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστής: αὐτὸς ἠγέρθη ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο αἱ δυνάμεις ἐνεργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ.

For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother’s wife.

Herodes enim tenuit Joannem, et alligavit eum : et posuit in carcerem propter Herodiadem uxorem fratris sui.

ὁ γὰρ Ἡρῴδης κρατήσας τὸν Ἰωάννην ἔδησεν καὶ ἐν φυλακῇ ἀπέθετο διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου] τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.

For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her.

Dicebat enim illi Joannes : Non licet tibi habere eam.

ἔλεγεν γὰρ ὁ Ἰωάννης αὐτῷ: οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἔχειν αὐτήν.

And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet.

Et volens illum occidere, timuit populum : quia sicut prophetam eum habebant.

καὶ θέλων αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι ἐφοβήθη τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ὡς προφήτην αὐτὸν εἶχον.

But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.

Die autem natalis Herodis saltavit filia Herodiadis in medio, et placuit Herodi:

γενεσίοις δὲ γενομένοις τοῦ Ἡρῴδου ὠρχήσατο ἡ θυγάτηρ τῆς Ἡρῳδιάδος ἐν τῷ μέσῳ καὶ ἤρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ,

Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.

unde cum juramento pollicitus est ei dare quodcumque postulasset ab eo.

ὅθεν μεθ' ὅρκου ὡμολόγησεν αὐτῇ δοῦναι ὃ ἐὰν αἰτήσηται.

But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.

At illa præmonita a matre sua : Da mihi, inquit, hic in disco caput Joannis Baptistæ.

ἡ δὲ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς: δός μοι, φησίν, ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ.

And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.

Et contristatus est rex : propter juramentum autem, et eos qui pariter recumbebant, jussit dari.

καὶ λυπηθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους ἐκέλευσεν δοθῆναι,

And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

Misitque et decollavit Joannem in carcere.

καὶ πέμψας ἀπεκεφάλισεν Ἰωάννην ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ:

And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.

Et allatum est caput ejus in disco, et datum est puellæ, et attulit matri suæ.

καὶ ἠνέχθη ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἐδόθη τῷ κορασίῳ, καὶ ἤνεγκεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς.

And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.

Et accedentes discipuli ejus, tulerunt corpus ejus, et sepelierunt illud : et venientes nuntiaverunt Jesu.

καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦραν τὸ πτῶμα καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐλθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ.

Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by a boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.

Quod cum audisset Jesus, secessit inde in navicula, in locum desertum seorsum : et cum audissent turbæ, secutæ sunt eum pedestres de civitatibus.

ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν ἐν πλοίῳ εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κατ' ἰδίαν: καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ πεζῇ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων.

And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

Et exiens vidit turbam multam, et misertus est eis, et curavit languidos eorum.

Καὶ ἐξελθὼν εἶδεν πολὺν ὄχλον, καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπ' αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν τοὺς ἀρρώστους αὐτῶν.

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals.

Vespere autem facto, accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, dicentes : Desertus est locus, et hora jam præteriit : dimitte turbas, ut euntes in castella, emant sibi escas.

ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ λέγοντες: ἔρημός ἐστιν ὁ τόπος καὶ ἡ ὥρα ἤδη παρῆλθεν: ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ὄχλους, ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τὰς κώμας ἀγοράσωσιν ἑαυτοῖς βρώματα.

But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat.

Jesus autem dixit eis : Non habent necesse ire : date illis vos manducare.

ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς: οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν ἀπελθεῖν: δότε αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς φαγεῖν.

They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes.

Responderunt ei: Non habemus hic nisi quinque panes et duos pisces.

οἱ δὲ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ: οὐκ ἔχομεν ὧδε εἰ μὴ πέντε ἄρτους καὶ δύο ἰχθύας.

Who said to them: Bring them hither to me.

Qui ait eis : Afferte mihi illos huc.

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν: φέρετέ μοι ὧδε αὐτούς.

And when he had commanded the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

Et cum jussisset turbam discumbere super fœnum, acceptis quinque panibus et duobus piscibus, aspiciens in cælum benedixit, et fregit, et dedit discipulis panes, discipuli autem turbis.

καὶ κελεύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνακλιθῆναι ἐπὶ τοῦ χόρτου, λαβὼν τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας, ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εὐλόγησεν, καὶ κλάσας ἔδωκεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς τοὺς ἄρτους οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις.

And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.

Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt. Et tulerunt reliquias, duodecim cophinos fragmentorum plenos.

καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων δώδεκα κοφίνους πλήρεις.

And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.

Manducantium autem fuit numerus quinque millia virorum, exceptis mulieribus et parvulis.

οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ πεντακισχίλιοι χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων.

And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.

Et statim compulit Jesus discipulos ascendere in naviculam, et præcedere eum trans fretum, donec dimitteret turbas.

Καὶ [εὐθέως] ἠνάγκασεν τοὺς μαθητὰς ἐμβῆναι εἰς πλοῖον καὶ προάγειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πέραν, ἕως οὗ ἀπολύσῃ τοὺς ὄχλους.

And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.

Et dimissa turba, ascendit in montem solus orare. Vespere autem facto solus erat ibi:

καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος κατ' ἰδίαν προσεύξασθαι. ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης μόνος ἦν ἐκεῖ.

But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary.

navicula autem in medio mari jactabatur fluctibus : erat enim contrarius ventus.

τὸ δὲ πλοῖον ἤδη σταδίους πολλοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἀπεῖχεν βασανιζόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων: ἦν γὰρ ἐναντίος ὁ ἄνεμος.

And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea.

Quarta enim vigilia noctis, venit ad eos ambulans super mare.

τετάρτῃ δὲ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτὸς ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς περιπατῶν ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν.

And they seeing him walking upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear.

Et videntes eum super mare ambulantem, turbati sunt, dicentes : Quia phantasma est. Et præ timore clamaverunt.

οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης περιπατοῦντα ἐταράχθησαν λέγοντες ὅτι φάντασμά ἐστιν, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου ἔκραξαν.

And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not.

Statimque Jesus locutus est eis, dicens : Habete fiduciam : ego sum, nolite timere.

εὐθὺς δὲ ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς αὐτοῖς λέγων: θαρσεῖτε, ἐγώ εἰμι: μὴ φοβεῖσθε.

And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters.

Respondens autem Petrus, dixit : Domine, si tu es, jube me ad te venire super aquas.

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ: κύριε, εἰ σὺ εἶ, κέλευσόν με ἐλθεῖν πρὸς σὲ ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα:

And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat walked upon the water to come to Jesus.

At ipse ait : Veni. Et descendens Petrus de navicula, ambulabat super aquam ut veniret ad Jesum.

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν: ἐλθέ. καὶ καταβὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ πλοίου Πέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν.

But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me.

Videns vero ventum validum, timuit : et cum cœpisset mergi, clamavit dicens : Domine, salvum me fac.

βλέπων δὲ τὸν ἄνεμον ἐφοβήθη, καὶ ἀρξάμενος καταποντίζεσθαι ἔκραξεν λέγων: κύριε, σῶσόν με.

And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

Et continuo Jesus extendens manum, apprehendit eum : et ait illi : Modicæ fidei, quare dubitasti?

εὐθέως δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἐπελάβετο αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ: ὀλιγόπιστε, εἰς τί ἐδίστασας;

And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased.

Et cum ascendissent in naviculam, cessavit ventus.

καὶ ἀναβάντων αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος.

And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God.

Qui autem in navicula erant, venerunt, et adoraverunt eum, dicentes : Vere Filius Dei es.

οἱ δὲ ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες: ἀληθῶς θεοῦ υἱὸς εἶ.

And having passed the water, they came into the country of Genesar.

Et cum transfretassent, venerunt in terram Genesar.

Καὶ διαπεράσαντες ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν εἰς Γεννησαρέτ.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent into all that country, and brought to him all that were diseased.

Et cum cognovissent eum viri loci illius, miserunt in universam regionem illam, et obtulerunt ei omnes male habentes:

καὶ ἐπιγνόντες αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ἀπέστειλαν εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον ἐκείνην, καὶ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας,

And they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole.

et rogabant eum ut vel fimbriam vestimenti ejus tangerent. Et quicumque tetigerunt, salvi facti sunt.

καὶ παρεκάλουν [αὐτὸν] ἵνα μόνον ἅψωνται τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ: καὶ ὅσοι ἥψαντο διεσώθησαν.
