1 V tom čase uslyšel Herodes čtvrták pověst o Ježíšovi.

2 I řekl služebníkům svým: To jest Jan Křtitel. Onť jest vstal z mrtvých, a protož se divové dějí skrze něho.

3 Nebo Herodes byl jal Jana a svázal jej a dal do žaláře pro Herodiadu manželku Filipa bratra svého.

4 Nebo byl řekl jemu Jan: Nesluší tobě míti jí.

5 A chtěv zabíti jej, bál se lidu; nebo za proroka jej měli.

6 Když pak slaven byl den narození Herodesova, tancovala dcera Herodiady uprostřed hodovníků, i líbilo se to Herodesovi,

7 Tak že s přísahou zaslíbil jí dáti, zač by ho prosila.

8 A ona jsuci prve navedena od mateře své, řekla: Dej mi zde na míse hlavu Jana Křtitele.

9 I zarmoutil se král, ale pro přísahu a pro ty, kteříž spolu s ním stolili, rozkázal jí dáti.

10 A poslav kata, sťal Jana v žaláři.

11 I přinesena jest hlava jeho na míse, a dána děvečce. A ona nesla ji mateři své.

12 A přišedše učedlníci jeho, vzali tělo jeho a pochovali je; a šedše, pověděli to Ježíšovi.

13 A uslyšev to Ježíš, plavil se odtud na lodičce na místo pusté soukromí. A uslyševše o tom zástupové, šli za ním pěšky z měst.

14 A vyšed Ježíš, uzřel zástup mnohý. I slitovalo mu se jich, a uzdravoval nemocné jejich.

15 A když bylo k večerou, přistoupili k němu učedlníci jeho, řkouce: Pusté jest místo toto, a čas již pominul. Rozpusť zástupy, ať jdouce do městeček, nakoupí sobě pokrmů.

16 Ježíš pak řekl jim: Není potřebí odcházeti, dejte vy jim jísti.

17 A oni řkou jemu: Nemáme zde, než pět chlebů a dvě rybě.

18 Kterýžto dí jim: Přinestež mi je sem.

19 A rozkázav zástupu posaditi se na trávě a vzav pět chlebů a dvě rybě, vzhléd v nebe, požehnal, a lámaje, dal učedlníkům chleby, a učedlníci zástupům.

20 I jedli všickni a nasyceni jsou. I sebrali pozůstalých drobtů, dvanácte košů plných.

21 Těch pak, kteříž jedli, bylo okolo pěti tisíců mužů, kromě žen a dětí.

22 A ihned přinutil učedlníky své, aby vstoupili na lodí a předešli jej za moře, dokudž by nerozpustil zástupů.

23 A rozpustiv zástupy, vstoupil na horu soukromí, aby se modlil. A když byl večer, sám byl tam.

24 Lodí pak již byla uprostřed moře, zmítající se vlnami, nebo byl vítr odporný jim.

25 Při čtvrtém pak bdění nočním bral se k nim Ježíš, jda po moři.

26 A vidouce jej učedlníci po moři jdoucího, zarmoutili se, řkouce: Obluda jest. A strachem křičeli.

27 Ale ihned Ježíš promluvil k nim, řka: Doufejtež, jáť jsem, nebojte se.

28 I odpověděv Petr, řekl: Pane, jsi-li ty, rozkažiž mi k sobě přijíti po vodě.

29 A on řekl: Pojď. A vystoupiv Petr z lodí, šel po vodě, aby přišel k Ježíšovi.

30 Ale vida vítr tuhý, bál se. A počav tonouti, zkřikl, řka: Pane, pomoz mi.

31 A ihned Ježíš vztáh ruku, ujal jej a řekl jemu: Malé víry, pročežs pochyboval?

32 A jakž oni vstoupili na lodí, přestal vítr.

33 Ti pak, kteříž na lodí byli, přistoupivše, klaněli se jemu, řkouce: Jistě Syn Boží jsi.

34 A přeplavivše se, přišli do země Genezaretské.

35 A poznavše jej muži místa toho, rozeslali po vší té krajině vůkol, a shromáždili k němu všecky neduživé.

36 A prosili ho, aby se aspoň podolka roucha jeho dotkli. A kteřížkoli dotkli se, uzdraveni jsou.

1 At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king;

2 And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has come back from the dead, and so these powers are working in him.

3 For Herod had taken John and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

4 Because John had said to him, It is not right for you to have her.

5 And he would have put him to death, but for his fear of the people, because in their eyes John was a prophet.

6 But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias was dancing before them, and Herod was pleased with her.

7 So he gave her his word with an oath to let her have whatever she might make request for.

8 And she, at her mother's suggestion, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

9 And the king was sad; but because of his oaths and because of his guests, he gave the order for it to be given to her;

10 And he sent and had John's head cut off in the prison.

11 And his head was put on a plate and given to the girl; and she took it to her mother.

12 And his disciples came, and took up his body and put it in the earth; and they went and gave Jesus news of what had taken place.

13 Now when it came to the ears of Jesus, he went away from there in a boat, to a waste place by himself: and the people hearing of it, went after him on foot from the towns.

14 And he came out and saw a great number of people and he had pity on them, and made well those of them who were ill.

15 And when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, This place is waste land, and the time is now past; send the people away so that they may go into the towns and get themselves food.

16 But Jesus said to them, There is no need for them to go away; give them food yourselves.

17 And they say to him, We have here but five cakes of bread and two fishes.

18 And he said, Give them to me.

19 And he gave orders for the people to be seated on the grass; and he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing, and made division of the food, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

20 And they all took of the food and had enough: and they took up twelve baskets full of broken bits which were not used.

21 And those who had food were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

22 And straight away he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, till he had sent the people away.

23 And after he had sent the people away, he went up into the mountain by himself for prayer: and when evening was come, he was there by himself.

24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, and was troubled by the waves: for the wind was against them.

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

26 And when they saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they gave cries of fear.

27 But straight away Jesus said to them, Take heart; it is I, have no fear.

28 And Peter, answering, said to him, Lord, if it is you, give me the order to come to you on the water.

29 And he said, Come. And Peter got out of the boat, and walking on the water, went to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind he was in fear and, starting to go down, he gave a cry, saying, Help, Lord.

31 And straight away Jesus put out his hand and took a grip of him, and said to him, O man of little faith, why were you in doubt?

32 And when they had got into the boat, the wind went down.

33 And those who were in the boat gave him worship, saying, Truly you are the Son of God.

34 And when they had gone across, they came to land at Gennesaret.

35 And when the men of that place had news of him, they sent into all the country round about, and took to him all who were ill,

36 With the request that they might only put their hands on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.
