The Good News According to Mattityahu, Chapter 14
{14:1} At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning
Yeshua, {14:2} and said to his servants, "This is Yochanan the
immerser. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in
him." {14:3} For Herod had laid hold of Yochanan, and bound him, and
put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Pilipos's
wife. {14:4} For Yochanan said to him, "It is not lawful for you to
have her." {14:5} When he would have put him to death, he feared the
multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. {14:6} But when
Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and
pleased Herod. {14:7} Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her
whatever she should ask. {14:8} She, being prompted by her mother,
said, "Give me here on a platter the head of Yochanan the immerser."
{14:9} The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of
those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,
{14:10} and he sent and beheaded Yochanan in the prison. {14:11} His
head was brought on a platter, and given to the young lady: and she
brought it to her mother. {14:12} His [1>]talmidim[<1] came, and took
the body, and buried it; and they went and told Yeshua. {14:13} Now
when Yeshua heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a
deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him
on foot from the cities.
{14:14} Yeshua went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had
compassion on them, and healed their sick. {14:15} When evening had
come, his [2>]talmidim[<2] came to him, saying, "This place is
deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that
they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."
{14:16} But Yeshua said to them, "They don't need to go away. You
give them something to eat."
{14:17} They told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."
{14:18} He said, "Bring them here to me." {14:19} He commanded the
multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and
the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the
loaves to the [3>]talmidim[<3], and the [4>]talmidim[<4] gave to the
multitudes. {14:20} They all ate, and were filled. They took up twelve
baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
{14:21} Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and
children.
{14:22} Immediately Yeshua made the [5>]talmidim[<5] get into the
boat, and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the
multitudes away. {14:23} After he had sent the multitudes away, he
went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come,
he was there alone. {14:24} But the boat was now in the middle of the
sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. {14:25} In
the fourth watch of the night Yeshua came to them, walking on the sea.
{14:26} When the [6>]talmidim[<6] saw him walking on the sea, they
were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost!" and they cried out for fear.
{14:27} But immediately Yeshua spoke to them, saying "Cheer up! I AM!
Don't be afraid."
{14:28} Rock answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me
to come to you on the waters."
{14:29} He said, "Come!"
Rock stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to
Yeshua. {14:30} But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was
afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"
{14:31} Immediately Yeshua stretched out his hand, took hold of him,
and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?" {14:32}
When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased. {14:33} Those who
were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, "You are truly the
Son of God!"
{14:34} When they had crossed over, they came to the land of
Ginosar. {14:35} When the men of that place recognized him, they sent
into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were
sick, {14:36} and they begged him that they might just touch the
[7>]tzitzit[<7] of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
