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 did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus,
2 and said to his servants, `This is John the Baptist, he did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working in him.`
3 For Herod having laid hold on John, did bind him, and did put him in prison, because of Herodias his brother Philip`s wife,
4 for John was saying to him, `It is not lawful to thee to have her,`
5 and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.
6 But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod,
7 whereupon with an oath he professed to give her whatever she might ask.
8 And she having been instigated by her mother -- `Give me (says she) here upon a plate the head of John the Baptist;
9 and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, he commanded [it] to be given;
10 and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison,
11 and his head was brought upon a plate, and was given to the damsel, and she brought [it] nigh to her mother.
12 And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus,
13 and Jesus having heard, withdrew thence in a boat to a desolate place by himself, and the multitudes having heard did follow him on land from the cities.
14 And Jesus having come forth, saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion upon them, and did heal their infirm;
15 and evening having come, his disciples came to him, saying, `The place is desolate, and the hour hath now past, let away the multitudes that, having gone to the villages, they may buy to themselves food.`
16 And Jesus said to them, `They have no need to go away -- give ye them to eat.`
17 And they say to him, `We have not here except five loaves, and two fishes.`
18 And he said, `Bring ye them to me hither.`
19 And having commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he did bless, and having broken, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes,
20 and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full;
21 and those eating were about five thousand men, apart from women and children.
22 And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes;
23 and having let away the multitudes, he went up to the mountain by himself to pray, and evening having come, he was there alone,
24 and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea,
26 and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying -- `It is an apparition,` and from the fear they cried out;
27 and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, `Be of good courage, I am [he], be not afraid.`
28 And Peter answering him said, `Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;`
29 and he said, `Come;` and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,
30 but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, `Sir, save me.`
31 And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what didst thou waver?`
32 and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled,
33 and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, `Truly -- God`s Son art thou.`
34 And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret,
35 and having recognized him, the men of that place sent forth to all that region round about, and they brought to him all who were ill,
36 and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved.
