Mateus 14 - Bíblia Online

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 
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. 
For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother. 
For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 
And {while} desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet. 
But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod; 
whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask. 
But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist. 
And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with {him}, he commanded {it} to be given. 
And he sent and beheaded John in the prison; 
and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried {it} to her mother. 
And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus. 
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. 
And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm. 
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. 
But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give *ye* them to eat. 
But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes. 
And he said, Bring them here to me. 
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. 
And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full. 
But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children. 
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. 
And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there, 
but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. 
But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea. 
And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear. 
But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is *I*: be not afraid. 
And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be *thou*, command me to come to thee upon the waters. 
And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus. 
But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. 
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? 
And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell. 
But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son. 
And having crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret. 
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, 
and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well. 

En ce temps-là, Hérode le tétrarque, ayant entendu parler de Jésus, 
dit à ses serviteurs: C'est Jean-Baptiste! Il est ressuscité des morts, et c'est pour cela qu'il se fait par lui des miracles. 
Car Hérode, qui avait fait arrêter Jean, l'avait lié et mis en prison, à cause d'Hérodias, femme de Philippe, son frère, 
parce que Jean lui disait: Il ne t'est pas permis de l'avoir pour femme. 
Il voulait le faire mourir, mais il craignait la foule, parce qu'elle regardait Jean comme un prophète. 
Or, lorsqu'on célébra l'anniversaire de la naissance d'Hérode, la fille d'Hérodias dansa au milieu des convives, et plut à Hérode, 
de sorte qu'il promit avec serment de lui donner ce qu'elle demanderait. 
A l'instigation de sa mère, elle dit: Donne-moi ici, sur un plat, la tête de Jean-Baptiste. 
Le roi fut attristé; mais, à cause de ses serments et des convives, il commanda qu'on la lui donne, 
et il envoya décapiter Jean dans la prison. 
Sa tête fut apportée sur un plat, et donnée à la jeune fille, qui la porta à sa mère. 
Les disciples de Jean vinrent prendre son corps, et l'ensevelirent. Et ils allèrent l'annoncer à Jésus. 
A cette nouvelle, Jésus partit de là dans une barque, pour se retirer à l'écart dans un lieu désert; et la foule, l'ayant su, sortit des villes et le suivit à pied. 
Quand il sortit de la barque, il vit une grande foule, et fut ému de compassion pour elle, et il guérit les malades. 
Le soir étant venu, les disciples s'approchèrent de lui, et dirent: Ce lieu est désert, et l'heure est déjà avancée; renvoie la foule, afin qu'elle aille dans les villages, pour s'acheter des vivres. 
Jésus leur répondit: Ils n'ont pas besoin de s'en aller; donnez-leur vous-mêmes à manger. 
Mais ils lui dirent: Nous n'avons ici que cinq pains et deux poissons. 
Et il dit: Apportez-les-moi. 
Il fit asseoir la foule sur l'herbe, prit les cinq pains et les deux poissons, et, levant les yeux vers le ciel, il rendit grâces. Puis, il rompit les pains et les donna aux disciples, qui les distribuèrent à la foule. 
Tous mangèrent et furent rassasiés, et l'on emporta douze paniers pleins des morceaux qui restaient. 
Ceux qui avaient mangé étaient environ cinq mille hommes, sans les femmes et les enfants. 
Aussitôt après, il obligea les disciples à monter dans la barque et à passer avant lui de l'autre côté, pendant qu'il renverrait la foule. 
Quand il l'eut renvoyée, il monta sur la montagne, pour prier à l'écart; et, comme le soir était venu, il était là seul. 
La barque, déjà au milieu de la mer, était battue par les flots; car le vent était contraire. 
A la quatrième veille de la nuit, Jésus alla vers eux, marchant sur la mer. 
Quand les disciples le virent marcher sur la mer, ils furent troublés, et dirent: C'est un fantôme! Et, dans leur frayeur, ils poussèrent des cris. 
Jésus leur dit aussitôt: Rassurez-vous, c'est moi; n'ayez pas peur! 
Pierre lui répondit: Seigneur, si c'est toi, ordonne que j'aille vers toi sur les eaux. 
Et il dit: Viens! Pierre sortit de la barque, et marcha sur les eaux, pour aller vers Jésus. 
Mais, voyant que le vent était fort, il eut peur; et, comme il commençait à enfoncer, il s'écria: Seigneur, sauve-moi! 
Aussitôt Jésus étendit la main, le saisit, et lui dit: Homme de peu de foi, pourquoi as-tu douté? 
Et ils montèrent dans la barque, et le vent cessa. 
Ceux qui étaient dans la barque vinrent se prosterner devant Jésus, et dirent: Tu es véritablement le Fils de Dieu. 
Après avoir traversé la mer, ils vinrent dans le pays de Génésareth. 
Les gens de ce lieu, ayant reconnu Jésus, envoyèrent des messagers dans tous les environs, et on lui amena tous les malades. 
Ils le prièrent de leur permettre seulement de toucher le bord de son vêtement. Et tous ceux qui le touchèrent furent guéris.
