Matthew 14

The Message Bible MSG

1 At about this time, Herod, the regional ruler, heard what was being said about Jesus.

2 He said to his servants, "This has to be John the Baptizer come back from the dead. That's why he's able to work miracles!"

3 Herod had arrested John, put him in chains, and sent him to prison to placate Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

4 John had provoked Herod by naming his relationship with Herodias "adultery."

5 Herod wanted to kill him, but he was afraid because so many people revered John as a prophet of God.

6 But at his birthday celebration, he got his chance. Herodias's daughter provided the entertainment, dancing for the guests. She swept Herod away.

7 In his drunken enthusiasm, he promised her on oath anything she wanted.

8 Already coached by her mother, she was ready: "Give me, served up on a platter, the head of John the Baptizer."

9 That sobered the king up fast. Unwilling to lose face with his guests, he did it

10 - ordered John's head cut off

11 and presented to the girl on a platter. She in turn gave it to her mother.

12 Later, John's disciples got the body, gave it a reverent burial, and reported to Jesus.

13 When Jesus got the news, he slipped away by boat to an out-of-the-way place by himself. But unsuccessfully - someone saw him and the word got around. Soon a lot of people from the nearby villages walked around the lake to where he was.

14 When he saw them coming, he was overcome with pity and healed their sick.

15 Toward evening the disciples approached him. "We're out in the country and it's getting late. Dismiss the people so they can go to the villages and get some supper."

16 But Jesus said, "There is no need to dismiss them. You give them supper."

17 "All we have are five loaves of bread and two fish," they said.

18 Jesus said, "Bring them here."

19 Then he had the people sit on the grass. He took the five loaves and two fish, lifted his face to heaven in prayer, blessed, broke, and gave the bread to the disciples. The disciples then gave the food to the congregation.

20 They all ate their fill. They gathered twelve baskets of leftovers.

21 About five thousand were fed.

22 As soon as the meal was finished, he insisted that the disciples get in the boat and go on ahead to the other side while he dismissed the people.

23 With the crowd dispersed, he climbed the mountain so he could be by himself and pray. He stayed there alone, late into the night.

24 Meanwhile, the boat was far out to sea when the wind came up against them and they were battered by the waves.

25 At about four o'clock in the morning, Jesus came toward them walking on the water.

26 They were scared out of their wits. "A ghost!" they said, crying out in terror.

27 But Jesus was quick to comfort them. "Courage, it's me. Don't be afraid."

28 Peter, suddenly bold, said, "Master, if it's really you, call me to come to you on the water."

29 He said, "Come ahead."

30 But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, "Master, save me!"

31 Jesus didn't hesitate. He reached down and grabbed his hand. Then he said, "Faint-heart, what got into you?"

32 The two of them climbed into the boat, and the wind died down.

33 The disciples in the boat, having watched the whole thing, worshiped Jesus, saying, "This is it! You are God's Son for sure!"

34 On return, they beached the boat at Gennesaret.

35 When the people got wind that he was back, they sent out word through the neighborhood and rounded up all the sick,

36 who asked for permission to touch the edge of his coat. And whoever touched him was healed.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 in illo tempore audiit Herodes tetrarcha famam Iesu

2 et ait pueris suis hic est Iohannes Baptista ipse surrexit a mortuis et ideo virtutes inoperantur in eo

3 Herodes enim tenuit Iohannem et alligavit eum et posuit in carcere propter Herodiadem uxorem fratris sui

4 dicebat enim illi Iohannes non licet tibi habere eam

5 et volens illum occidere timuit populum quia sicut prophetam eum habebant

6 die autem natalis Herodis saltavit filia Herodiadis in medio et placuit Herodi

7 unde cum iuramento pollicitus est ei dare quodcumque postulasset ab eo

8 at illa praemonita a matre sua da mihi inquit hic in disco caput Iohannis Baptistae

9 et contristatus est rex propter iuramentum autem et eos qui pariter recumbebant iussit dari

10 misitque et decollavit Iohannem in carcere

11 et adlatum est caput eius in disco et datum est puellae et tulit matri suae

12 et accedentes discipuli eius tulerunt corpus et sepelierunt illud et venientes nuntiaverunt Iesu

13 quod cum audisset Iesus secessit inde in navicula in locum desertum seorsum et cum audissent turbae secutae sunt eum pedestres de civitatibus

14 et exiens vidit turbam multam et misertus est eius et curavit languidos eorum

15 vespere autem facto accesserunt ad eum discipuli eius dicentes desertus est locus et hora iam praeteriit dimitte turbas ut euntes in castella emant sibi escas

16 Iesus autem dixit eis non habent necesse ire date illis vos manducare

17 responderunt ei non habemus hic nisi quinque panes et duos pisces

18 qui ait eis adferte illos mihi huc

19 et cum iussisset turbam discumbere supra faenum acceptis quinque panibus et duobus piscibus aspiciens in caelum benedixit et fregit et dedit discipulis panes discipuli autem turbis

20 et manducaverunt omnes et saturati sunt et tulerunt reliquias duodecim cofinos fragmentorum plenos

21 manducantium autem fuit numerus quinque milia virorum exceptis mulieribus et parvulis

22 et statim iussit discipulos ascendere in navicula et praecedere eum trans fretum donec dimitteret turbas

23 et dimissa turba ascendit in montem solus orare vespere autem facto solus erat ibi

24 navicula autem in medio mari iactabatur fluctibus erat enim contrarius ventus

25 quarta autem vigilia noctis venit ad eos ambulans supra mare

26 et videntes eum supra mare ambulantem turbati sunt dicentes quia fantasma est et prae timore clamaverunt

27 statimque Iesus locutus est eis dicens habete fiduciam ego sum nolite timere

28 respondens autem Petrus dixit Domine si tu es iube me venire ad te super aquas

29 at ipse ait veni et descendens Petrus de navicula ambulabat super aquam ut veniret ad Iesum

30 videns vero ventum validum timuit et cum coepisset mergi clamavit dicens Domine salvum me fac

31 et continuo Iesus extendens manum adprehendit eum et ait illi modicae fidei quare dubitasti

32 et cum ascendissent in naviculam cessavit ventus

33 qui autem in navicula erant venerunt et adoraverunt eum dicentes vere Filius Dei es

34 et cum transfretassent venerunt in terram Gennesar

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

36 et rogabant eum ut vel fimbriam vestimenti eius tangerent et quicumque tetigerunt salvi facti sunt
