Matthew

施洗约翰的死

1那时，分封的王希律听见耶稣的名声，

2就对臣仆说：「这是施洗的约翰从死里复活，所以这些异能从他里面发出来。」

3起先，希律为他兄弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故，把约翰拿住，锁在监里。

4因为约翰曾对他说：「你娶这妇人是不合理的。」

5希律就想要杀他，只是怕百姓，因为他们以约翰为先知。

6到了希律的生日，希罗底的女儿在众人面前跳舞，使希律欢喜。

7希律就起誓，应许随她所求的给她。

8女儿被母亲所使，就说：「请把施洗约翰的头放在盘子里，拿来给我。」

9王便忧愁，但因他所起的誓，又因同席的人，就吩咐给她；

10于是打发人去，在监里斩了约翰，

11把头放在盘子里，拿来给了女子；女子拿去给她母亲。

12约翰的门徒来，把尸首领去埋葬了，就去告诉耶稣。

耶稣给五千人吃饱

13耶稣听见了，就上船从那里独自退到野地里去。众人听见，就从各城里步行跟随他。

14耶稣出来，见有许多的人，就怜悯他们，治好了他们的病人。

15天将晚的时候，门徒进前来，说：「这是野地，时候已经过了，请叫众人散开，他们好往村子里去，自己买吃的。」

16耶稣说：「不用他们去，你们给他们吃吧！」

17门徒说：「我们这里只有五个饼，两条鱼。」

18耶稣说：「拿过来给我。」

19于是吩咐众人坐在草地上，就拿着这五个饼，两条鱼，望着天祝福，擘开饼，递给门徒，门徒又递给众人。

20他们都吃，并且吃饱了，把剩下的零碎收拾起来，装满了十二个篮子。

21吃的人，除了妇女孩子，约有五千。

耶稣在海面上行走

22耶稣随即催门徒上船，先渡到那边去，等他叫众人散开。

23散了众人以后，他就独自上山去祷告。到了晚上，只有他一人在那里。

24那时船在海中，因风不顺，被浪摇撼。

25夜里四更天，耶稣在海面上走，往门徒那里去。

26门徒看见他在海面上走，就惊慌了，说：「是个鬼怪！」便害怕，喊叫起来。

27耶稣连忙对他们说：「你们放心，是我，不要怕！」

28彼得说：「主，如果是你，请叫我从水面上走到你那里去。」

29耶稣说：「你来吧。」彼得就从船上下去，在水面上走，要到耶稣那里去；

30只因见风甚大，就害怕，将要沉下去，便喊着说：「主啊，救我！」

31耶稣赶紧伸手拉住他，说：「你这小信的人哪，为什么疑惑呢？」

32他们上了船，风就住了。

33在船上的人都拜他，说：「你真是 神的儿子了。」

治好革尼撒勒的病人

34他们过了海，来到革尼撒勒地方。

35那里的人一认出是耶稣，就打发人到周围地方去，把所有的病人带到他那里，

36只求耶稣准他们摸他的衣裳 子；摸着的人就都好了。

1At the time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.

2And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.

3For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother’s wife.

4For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her.

5And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet.

6But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.

7Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.

8But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.

9And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.

10And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

11And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.

12And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.

13Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.

14And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

15And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals.

16But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat.

17They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes.

18He said to them: Bring them hither to me.

19And when he had commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

20And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.

21And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.

22And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.

23And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.

24But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary.

25And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea.

26And they seeing him walk upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear.

27And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not.

28And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters.

29And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus.

30But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me.

31And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

32And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased.

33And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God.

34And having passed the water, they came into the country of Genesar.

35And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent into all that country, and brought to him all that were diseased.

36And they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole.
