Mattithyahu (Matthew) 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.

Matthew 14
14
1At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus, 2and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore do these powers work in him. 3For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. 4For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 5And when 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 in the midst, and pleased Herod. 7Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she should ask. 8And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist. 9And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given; 10and he sent and beheaded John in the prison. 11And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 12And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
13Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard thereof, they followed him on foot from the cities. 14And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. 15And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food. 16But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat. 17And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18And he said, Bring them hither to me. 19And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 20And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. 21And they that did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away. 23And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone. 24But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary. 25And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea. 26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear. 27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters. 29And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters to come to Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. 31And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. 33And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret. 35And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick; 36and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole.
