Mateus 14

1Naquele tempo Herodes, o tetrarca, ouviu relato a respeito de Jesus, 2e disse aos seus servos: Este é João Batista; ele ressuscitou dos mortos, e por isso os milagres operam nele. 3Porque Herodes havia prendido a João, acorrentado-o, e posto na prisão, por causa de Herodias, mulher do seu irmão Filipe; 4pois João lhe dizia: Não te lícito que a tenhas. 5Herodes queria matá-lo, mas tinha medo do povo, pois o consideravam profeta. 6Porém, quando chegou o aniversário de Herodes, a filha de Herodias dançou no meio das pessoas ,e agradou a Herodes. 7Por isso prometeu a ela dar tudo o que pedisse. 8E ela, tendo sido induzida por sua mãe, disse: Dá-me aqui num prato a cabeça de João Batista. 9E o rei se entristeceu; mas devido ao juramento, e aos que estavam presentes, ordenou que isso fosse concedido. 10Então mandou degolarem João na prisão. 11Sua cabeça foi trazida num prato, e dada à garota, e ela a levou à sua mãe. 12E seus discípulos vieram, tomaram o corpo, e o enterraram; e foram avisar a Jesus. 13Depois de Jesus ouvir, retirou-se dali num barco, a um lugar deserto, sozinho; mas assim que as multidões ouviram acerca disso, seguiram-no a pé das cidades. 14Quando Jesus saiu, viu uma grande multidão. Ele se compadeceu deles, e curou dentre eles os enfermos. 15E chegando o entardecer, os discípulos se aproximaram dele, e disseram: O lugar é deserto, e já é tarde. Despede as multidões, para irem às aldeias, e comprarem para si de comer. 16Mas Jesus lhes respondeu: Eles não precisam ir. Vós mesmos, dai-lhes de comer. 17E eles lhe disseram: Nada temos aqui além de cinco pães e dois peixes. 18Então disse: Trazei-os aqui a mim. 19Ele mandou às multidões que se sentassem sobre a grama. Então tomou os cinco pães e os dois peixes, levantou os olhos ao céu, e os abençoou. Em seguida partiu os pães, deu-os aos discípulos, e os discípulos às multidões. 20E todos comeram, e se fartaram. E do que sobrou dos pedaços levantaram doze cestos cheios. 21E os que comeram foram quase cinco mil homens, sem contar as mulheres e as crianças. 22E logo Jesus mandou os discípulos entrarem no barco, e que fossem adiante dele para a outra margem, enquanto ele despedia as multidões. 23Depois de despedir as multidões, subiu ao monte, à parte, para orar. Tendo chegado a noite, ele estava ali sozinho. 24E o barco já estava a vários estádios de distância da terra, atormentado pelas ondas, porque o vento era contrário. 25Mas à quarta vigília da noite Jesus foi até eles, andando sobre o mar. 26Quando os discípulos o viram andar sobre o mar, apavoraram-se, dizendo: É um fantasma! E gritaram de medo. 27Mas Jesus logo lhes falou, dizendo: Tende coragem! Sou eu, não tenhais medo. 28E Pedro lhe respondeu, dizendo: Senhor, se és tu, manda-me vir a ti sobre as águas. 29E ele disse: Vem. Então Pedro desceu do barco e andou sobre as águas, e foi em direção a Jesus. 30Mas quando viu o vento, teve medo; e começando a afundar, gritou: Senhor, salva-me! 31Imediatamente Jesus estendeu a mão, segurou-o, e disse-lhe: Homem de pouca fé, por que duvidaste? 32E quando subiram no barco, o vento se aquietou. 33Então os que estavam no barco vieram e o adoraram, dizendo: Verdadeiramente tu és o Filho de Deus. 34E havendo passado para a outra margem, chegaram à terra de Genesaré. 35E quando os homens daquele lugar o reconheceram, deram aviso por toda aquela região ao redor, e lhe trouxeram todos os que estavam enfermos. 36E rogavam-lhe que tão somente tocassem a borda de sua roupa; e todos os que tocavam ficaram curados.

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

1Te dierzelver tijd hoorde Herodes, de viervorst, het gerucht van Jezus; 2En zeide tot zijn knechten: Deze is Johannes de Doper; hij is opgewekt van de doden, en daarom werken die krachten in Hem. 3Want Herodes had Johannes gevangen genomen, en hem gebonden, en in den kerker gezet, om Herodias' wil, de huisvrouw van Filippus, zijn broeder. 4Want Johannes zeide tot hem: Het is u niet geoorloofd haar te hebben. 5En willende hem doden, vreesde hij het volk, omdat zij hem hielden voor een profeet. 6Maar als de dag der geboorte van Herodes gehouden werd, danste de dochter van Herodias in het midden van hen, en zij behaagde aan Herodes. 7Waarom hij haar met ede beloofde te geven, wat zij ook eisen zou. 8En zij, te voren onderricht zijnde van haar moeder, zeide: Geef mij hier in een schotel het hoofd van Johannes den Doper. 9En de koning werd bedroefd; doch om de eden, en degenen, die met hem aanzaten, gebood hij, dat het haar zou gegeven worden; 10En zond heen, en onthoofdde Johannes in den kerker. 11En zijn hoofd werd gebracht in een schotel, en het dochtertje gegeven; en zij droeg het tot haar moeder. 12En zijn discipelen kwamen, en namen het lichaam weg, en begroeven hetzelve; en gingen en boodschapten het Jezus. 13En als Jezus dit hoorde, vertrok Hij van daar te scheep, naar een woeste plaats alleen; en de scharen, dat horende, zijn Hem te voet gevolgd uit de steden. 14En Jezus uitgaande, zag een grote schare, en werd innerlijk met ontferming over hen bewogen, en genas hun kranken. 15En als het nu avond werd, kwamen Zijn discipelen tot Hem, zeggende: Deze plaats is woest, en de tijd is nu voorbijgegaan; laat de scharen van U, opdat zij heengaan in de vlekken en zichzelven spijs kopen. 16Maar Jezus zeide tot hen: Het is hun niet van node heen te gaan, geeft gij hun te eten. 17Doch zij zeiden tot Hem: Wij hebben hier niet, dan vijf broden en twee vissen. 18En Hij zeide: Brengt Mij dezelve hier. 19En Hij beval de scharen neder te zitten op het gras, en nam de vijf broden en de twee vissen, en opwaarts ziende naar den hemel, zegende dezelve; en als Hij ze gebroken had, gaf Hij de broden den discipelen, en de discipelen aan de scharen. 20En zij aten allen en werden verzadigd, en zij namen op, het overschot der brokken, twaalf volle korven. 21Die nu gegeten hadden, waren omtrent vijf duizend mannen, zonder de vrouwen en kinderen. 22En terstond dwong Jezus Zijn discipelen in het schip te gaan, en voor Hem af te varen naar de andere zijde, terwijl Hij de scharen van Zich zou laten. 23En als Hij nu de scharen van Zich gelaten had, klom Hij op den berg alleen, om te bidden. En als het nu avond was geworden, zo was Hij daar alleen. 24En het schip was nu midden in de zee, zijnde in nood van de baren; want de wind was hun tegen. 25Maar ter vierde wake des nachts kwam Jezus af tot hen, wandelende op de zee. 26En de discipelen, ziende Hem op de zee wandelen, werden ontroerd, zeggende: Het is een spooksel! En zij schreeuwden van vrees. 27Maar terstond sprak Jezus hen aan, zeggende: Zijt goedsmoeds, Ik ben het, vreest niet. 28En Petrus antwoordde Hem, en zeide: Heere! indien Gij het zijt, zo gebied mij tot U te komen op het water. 29En Hij zeide: Kom. En Petrus klom neder van het schip, en wandelde op het water, om tot Jezus te komen. 30Maar ziende den sterken wind, werd hij bevreesd, en als hij begon neder te zinken, riep hij, zeggende: Heere, behoud mij! 31En Jezus, terstond de hand uitstekende, greep hem aan, en zeide tot hem: Gij kleingelovige! waarom hebt gij gewankeld? 32En als zij in het schip geklommen waren, stilde de wind. 33Die nu in het schip waren, kwamen en aanbaden Hem, zeggende: Waarlijk, Gij zijt Gods Zoon! 34En overgevaren zijnde, kwamen zij in het land Gennesaret. 35En als de mannen van die plaats Hem werden kennende, zonden zij in dat gehele omliggende land, en brachten tot Hem allen, die kwalijk gesteld waren; 36En baden Hem, dat zij alleenlijk den zoom Zijns kleeds zouden mogen aanraken; en zovelen als Hem aanraakten, werden gezond.
