New International Version NIV
1 Ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ ἤκουσεν Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετραάρχης τὴν ἀκοὴν Ἰησοῦ,
1
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus,
2 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ · Οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστής · αὐτὸς ἠγέρθη ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο αἱ δυνάμεις ἐνεργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ.
2
and he said to his attendants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
3 Ὁ γὰρ Ἡρῴδης κρατήσας τὸν Ἰωάννην ἔδησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν φυλακῇ ἀπέθετο ⸃ διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ,
3
Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
4 ἔλεγεν γὰρ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰωάννης ⸃· Οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἔχειν αὐτήν ·
4
for John had been saying to him: “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 καὶ θέλων αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι ἐφοβήθη τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ὡς προφήτην αὐτὸν εἶχον.
5
Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet.
6 γενεσίοις δὲ γενομένοις ⸃ τοῦ Ἡρῴδου ὠρχήσατο ἡ θυγάτηρ τῆς Ἡρῳδιάδος ἐν τῷ μέσῳ καὶ ἤρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ,
6
On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much
7 ὅθεν μετὰ ὅρκου ὡμολόγησεν αὐτῇ δοῦναι ὃ ἐὰν αἰτήσηται.
7
that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
8 ἡ δὲ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς · Δός μοι, φησίν, ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ.
8
Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
9 καὶ λυπηθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ ⸃ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους ἐκέλευσεν δοθῆναι,
9
The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted
10 καὶ πέμψας ἀπεκεφάλισεν τὸν Ἰωάννην ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ ·
10
and had John beheaded in the prison.
11 καὶ ἠνέχθη ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἐδόθη τῷ κορασίῳ, καὶ ἤνεγκεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς.
11
His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
12 καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦραν τὸ πτῶμα καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐλθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ.
12
John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
13 Ἀκούσας δὲ ⸃ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν ἐν πλοίῳ εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κατ’ ἰδίαν · καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ πεζῇ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων.
13
When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns.
14 καὶ ἐξελθὼν εἶδεν πολὺν ὄχλον, καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν τοὺς ἀρρώστους αὐτῶν.
14
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 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.
15
As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν ἀπελθεῖν · δότε αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς φαγεῖν.
16
Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 οἱ δὲ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ · Οὐκ ἔχομεν ὧδε εἰ μὴ πέντε ἄρτους καὶ δύο ἰχθύας.
17
“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν · Φέρετέ μοι ὧδε αὐτούς.
18
“Bring them here to me,” he said.
19 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.
19
And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
20 καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων δώδεκα κοφίνους πλήρεις.
20
They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
21 οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ πεντακισχίλιοι χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων.
21
The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Καὶ εὐθέως ἠνάγκασεν τοὺς μαθητὰς ἐμβῆναι εἰς πλοῖον καὶ προάγειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πέραν, ἕως οὗ ἀπολύσῃ τοὺς ὄχλους.
22
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.
23 καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος κατ’ ἰδίαν προσεύξασθαι. ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης μόνος ἦν ἐκεῖ.
23
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,
24 τὸ δὲ πλοῖον ἤδη σταδίους πολλοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἀπεῖχεν, βασανιζόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων, ἦν γὰρ ἐναντίος ὁ ἄνεμος.
24
and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 τετάρτῃ δὲ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτὸς ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς περιπατῶν ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν.
25
Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.
26 οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ⸃ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης ⸃ περιπατοῦντα ἐταράχθησαν λέγοντες ὅτι Φάντασμά ἐστιν, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου ἔκραξαν.
26
When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 εὐθὺς δὲ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ⸃ λέγων · Θαρσεῖτε, ἐγώ εἰμι · μὴ φοβεῖσθε.
27
But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
28 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν ⸃· Κύριε, εἰ σὺ εἶ, κέλευσόν με ἐλθεῖν πρὸς σὲ ⸃ ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα ·
28
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν · Ἐλθέ. καὶ καταβὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ πλοίου Πέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα καὶ ἦλθεν ⸃ πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
29
“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
30 βλέπων δὲ τὸν ἄνεμον ἰσχυρὸν ἐφοβήθη, καὶ ἀρξάμενος καταποντίζεσθαι ἔκραξεν λέγων · Κύριε, σῶσόν με.
30
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 εὐθέως δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἐπελάβετο αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ · Ὀλιγόπιστε, εἰς τί ἐδίστασας;
31
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 καὶ ἀναβάντων αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος.
32
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
33 οἱ δὲ ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες · Ἀληθῶς θεοῦ υἱὸς εἶ.
33
Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
34 Καὶ διαπεράσαντες ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν εἰς ⸃ Γεννησαρέτ.
34
When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.
35 καὶ ἐπιγνόντες αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ἀπέστειλαν εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον ἐκείνην, καὶ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας,
35
And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him
36 καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν ἵνα μόνον ἅψωνται τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ · καὶ ὅσοι ἥψαντο διεσώθησαν.
36
and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
