The Death of John the Baptist

1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus, (Mr 6:14; Lu 3:1; Lu 9:7; Ac 13:1)

Mr 6:14Lu 3:1Lu 9:7Ac 13:1

2 and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” (Mt 16:14) 3 For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,^[1] (Mt 11:2; Lu 3:19; Joh 3:24) 4 because John had been saying to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” (Le 18:16; Le 20:21) 5 And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet. (Mt 11:9; Mt 21:26; Mt 21:46) 6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, (Ge 40:20) 7 so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” 9 And the king was sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given. 10 He sent and had John beheaded in the prison, 11 and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12 And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and they went and told Jesus. (Mt 9:14)

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. (Mt 15:32; Mt 16:9; Mr 6:32; Mr 8:2; Lu 9:10; Joh 6:1)

Mt 15:32Mt 16:9Mr 6:32Mr 8:2Lu 9:10Joh 6:1

14 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. (Mt 9:36) 15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” (Mt 14:22; Mt 15:23) 16 But Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” (2Ki 4:42) 17 They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” 18 And he said, “Bring them here to me.” 19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. (1Sa 9:13; Mt 26:26; Mr 7:34; Mr 8:7; Mr 14:22; Lu 24:30; Joh 11:41; Joh 17:1; 1Co 14:16)

20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Jesus Walks on the Water

22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. (Mt 8:18; Mr 6:45; Joh 6:15) 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, (Mr 1:35; Mr 13:35; Lu 5:16; Lu 6:12; Lu 9:28)

Mr 1:35Mr 13:35Lu 5:16Lu 6:12Lu 9:28

24 but the boat by this time was a long way^[2] from the land,^[3] beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night^[4] he came to them, walking on the sea. (Mt 14:22) 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. (Lu 24:37) 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” (De 31:6; Isa 41:13; Isa 43:1; Mt 17:7; Joh 16:33)

De 31:6Isa 41:13Isa 43:1Mt 17:7Joh 16:33

28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. (Joh 21:7) 30 But when he saw the wind,^[5] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” (Mt 8:25) 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” (Mt 6:30; Jas 1:6) 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. (Mt 14:30) 33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” (Ps 2:7; Mt 3:17; Mt 8:2; Mt 14:22; Mt 16:16; Mt 26:63; Mr 1:1; Lu 1:35; Lu 4:41; Joh 1:49; Joh 6:14; Joh 10:36; Joh 11:27; Joh 20:31)

Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret

34 And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. (Mr 6:53; Lu 5:1; Joh 6:24) 35 And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick (Mt 4:24) 36 and implored him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well. (Mt 9:20; Mr 3:10; Lu 6:19; Ac 5:15)

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.
