Mattityahu 14

1At that time reports about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to the oznayim (ears) of Herod the Tetrarch.
2And he said to his servants, This one is Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva. He has had his Techiyah (Resurrection) from HaMesim (the Dead) and for this reason the moftim (wonders) are working in him.
3For Herod had Yochanan arrested and bound him and threw him into the beit hasohar (prison), on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philippos.
4For Yochanan kept on saying to him, It is asur for you to have her.
5And [although] Herod was desiring to kill Yochanan, he feared the crowd, because they considered Yochanan a Navi.
6Now at the yom huledet celebration of Herod, it came about that the daughter of Herodias danced before them and Herod was pleased.
7Herod, therefore, with a shevuah, promised to give to her whatever she might ask.
8So she, prompted by her mother, said, Give to me here upon a serving tray the rosh (head) Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva.
9And, although grieving, the king commanded [it] to be given, on account of the shevuot (oaths) and the fellow muzmanim (guests).
10And he sent and had Yochanan beheaded in the beit hasohar.
11And the rosh Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva was brought upon a serving tray, and it was presented to the girl and she presented it to her mother.
12And Yochananʼs talmidim approached and carried away the niftar (deceased person) and buried him. Then they went and reported [it] to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
13And when he heard [this], he withdrew from there in a sirah (boat) to a desolate place by himself. And when the multitudes heard [this], they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach by land from the shtetlach.
14And having gone out, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw a great multitude, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach felt rachmei shomayim (heavenly compassion) for them and brought refuah (healing) to their cholim.
15Now when erev (evening) came, Moshiachʼs talmidim came to him, saying, This place is desolate and the time is late. Dismiss the multitude, so that, having gone into the shtetlach, they may buy for themselves okhel (food).
16But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, They have no need to go away. You yourselves give them something to eat.
17But Moshiachʼs talmidim say to him, We do not have here anything except five loaves and of dagim (fish), only two.
18But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Bring them here to me.
19And having commanded the multitudes to recline on the grass#14:19 as at tish and having taken the five loaves and the two dagim, and having looked up to Shomayim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said a bracha over the okhel, and having offered the betziat halechem (the breaking of the bread), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave the lechem to the talmidim, and Moshiachʼs talmidim served the lechem to the multitudes.
20And everyone ate and they were satisfied, and they took away shirayim (Rebbeʼs remainders, leftovers), shneym asar (twelve) baskets full.
21And the ones eating were about chamesh elafim (five thousand) men, apart from the nashim and yeladim.
22And immediately Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach compelled the talmidim to board a sirah (boat) and to go on ahead of him to the other side until he might send away the multitudes.
23And having sent away the multitudes, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to the mountain by himself to daven. Now when erev had come, he was alone there.
24Now the sirah (boat), being tossed by the waves (for the wind was against them), was by this time many stadia distant from the land.
25Now in the fourth watch of the night (between three o'clock and six o'clock in the morning), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to them, walking on the lake.
26But Moshiachʼs talmidim, having seen him walking on the lake, were terribly shaken, saying, It is a ruach refaim (an apparition)! From pachad they cried out.
27And immediately Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach spoke to them, saying, Chazak! Ani Hu.#14:27 Ex 3:14 (I am he) Do not be afraid.
28And Kefa said in reply to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, if it is really you, command me to come to you al pnei hamayim (on the surface of the waters).
29And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Boh! (Come!) And having gone down from the sirah (boat), Kefa walked al pnei hamayim (on the surface of the waters) and came toward him.
30And seeing the strong wind, Kefa was afraid, and having begun to sink, Kefa cried out, saying, Azreini! Adoni, hoshieini! (Help! L-rd, save me!)
31And immediately Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having stretched out (his) hand, took hold of Kefa and says to him, One of little emunah, why did you doubt?
32And as they were going up into the sirah (boat), the wind became still.
33And the ones in the sirah (boat) fell down before Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Beemes (Actually) you are the Ben HaElohim!
34And having crossed over, they came onto the land at Gennesaret.
35And having recognized him, the men of that place sent into all the surrounding region around, and they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach all the cholim,
36and they were appealing to him that they might touch even the Moshiachʼs tzitzit on his garment, and all who did, received Moshiachʼs refuah (healing).#14:36 Isa 53:5

Mattithyahu (Matthew) 14
14
1At that time Herodes the district ruler heard the report about יהושע,
2and said to his servants, “This is Yoḥanan the Immerser. He has risen from the dead, and that is why these mighty powers are at work in him.”
3For Herodes had arrested Yoḥanan, bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
4for Yoḥanan had said to him, “It is not right for you to have her.”
5And wishing to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him as a prophet.
6But as Herodes’ birthday was being held, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herodes,
7so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
8And she, being urged on by her mother, said, “Give me here the head of Yoḥanan the Immerser on a dish.”
9And the sovereign was sad, but because of the oaths and the guests he commanded it to be given,
10and sent and beheaded Yoḥanan in prison.
11And his head was brought on a dish and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
12And his taught ones came and took away the body and buried it, and went and reported to יהושע.
13Now when יהושע heard it, He withdrew from there by boat to a deserted place, by Himself. And when the crowds heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.
14And when יהושע came out, He saw a large crowd and was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.
15And when evening came, His taught ones came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds, so that they might go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
16But יהושע said to them, “They do not need to go away, give them to eat yourselves.”
17And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
18And He said, “Bring them here to Me.”
19And commanding the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the taught ones. And the taught ones gave to the crowds,
20and all ate and were satisfied. And they picked up the pieces left over – twelve baskets, filled.
21And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22And immediately יהושע made His taught ones enter into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.
23And having dismissed the crowds, He went up to the mountain by Himself to pray. And when evening had come, He was alone there.
24But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, agitated by the waves, for the wind was against it.
25And in the fourth watch of the night יהושע went to them, walking on the sea.
26And when the taught ones saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a phantom!” And from fear they cried.
27But immediately יהושע spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid.”
28And Kĕpha answered Him and said, “Master, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
29And He said, “Come.” And when Kĕpha had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to יהושע.
30But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Master, save me!”
31And immediately יהושע stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “O you of little belief, why did you doubt?”
32And when they came into the boat, the wind ceased.
33And those in the boat came and did bow to Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of Elohim.”
34And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennĕsar.
35And when the men of that place recognised Him, they sent out into all that surrounding country, and brought to Him all who were sick,
36and begged Him to let them only touch the tzitzit#See Explanatory Notes - "Tzitzit". of His garment. And as many as touched it were completely healed.
