Matthew 14

1

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

2

and said to his servants, This is John the baptist: *he* is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force in him.

3

For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.

4

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

5

And [while] desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet.

6

But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod;

7

whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.

8

But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

9

And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with [him], he commanded [it] to be given.

10

And he sent and beheaded John in the prison;

11

and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried [it] to her mother.

12

And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus.

13

And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard [of it] followed him on foot from the cities.

14

And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.

15

But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and [much of] the [day] time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

16

But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give *ye* them to eat.

17

But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.

18

And he said, Bring them here to me.

19

And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave [them] to the disciples, and the disciples [gave them] to the crowds.

20

And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.

21

But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

22

And immediately he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds.

23

And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,

24

but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

25

But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea.

26

And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.

27

But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is *I*: be not afraid.

28

And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be *thou*, command me to come to thee upon the waters.

29

And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.

30

But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.

31

And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

32

And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.

33

But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son.

34

And having crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret.

35

And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill,

36

and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.

Matthew 15

1

Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,

2

Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

3

But he answering said to them, Why do *ye* also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?

4

For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.

5

But *ye* say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:

6

and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.

7

Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,

8

This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;

9

but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.

10

And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:

11

Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

12

Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?

13

But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.

14

Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.

15

And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.

16

But he said, Are *ye* also still without intelligence?

17

Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?

18

but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.

19

For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;

20

these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.

21

And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;

22

and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried [to him] saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.

23

But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to [him] and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.

24

But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.

25

But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.

26

But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.

27

But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.

28

Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith [is] great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from *that* hour.

29

And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;

30

and great crowds came to him, having with them lame, blind, dumb, crippled, and many others, and they cast them at his feet, and he healed them:

31

so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

32

But Jesus, having called his disciples to [him], said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way.

33

And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in [the] wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?

34

And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

35

And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground;

36

and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

37

And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;

38

but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

39

And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan.

Matthew 16

1

And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to [him], asked him, tempting [him], to shew them a sign out of heaven.

2

But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine weather, for the sky is red;

3

and in the morning, A storm to-day, for the sky is red [and] lowering; ye know [how] to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot the signs of the times.

4

A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas. And he left them and went away.

5

And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

6

And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

7

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread.

8

And Jesus knowing [it], said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread?

9

Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took [up]?

10

nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took [up]?

11

How do ye not understand that [it was] not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

12

Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13

But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?

14

And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets.

15

He says to them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am?

16

And Simon Peter answering said, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17

And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

18

And *I* also, I say unto thee that *thou* art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it.

19

And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens.

20

Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ.

21

From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised.

22

And Peter taking him to [him] began to rebuke him, saying, [God] be favourable to thee, Lord; this shall in no wise be unto thee.

23

But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

24

Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

25

For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

26

For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

27

For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to each according to his doings.

28

Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
