1 Sel ajal kuulis nelivürst Heroodes Jeesusest räägitavat.
2 Ja ta ütles oma teenijaile: „See on Ristija Johannes; tema on surnuist üles tõusnud ja sellepärast on imelised väed tegevad tema sees."
3 Oli ju Heroodes Johannese kinni võtnud, sidunud ja pannud ta vangi Heroodiase, oma venna Filippuse naise pärast.
4 Sest Johannes oli temale ütelnud: „Sul ei ole luba teda pidada."
5 Ja Heroodes oleks tahtnud Johannese tappa, aga kartis rahvast, sest nad pidasid teda prohvetiks.
6 Aga kui Heroodese sünnipäev tuli, tantsis Heroodiase tütar nende keskel ja meeldis Heroodesele.
7 Sellepärast tõotas ta vandega temale anda, mida ta iganes peaks paluma.
8 Siis ütles tütar oma ema õhutusel: „Anna mulle siia vaagnal Ristija Johannese pea!"
9 Ja kuningas sai kurvaks, kuid vande ja lauasistujate pärast ta käskis temale selle anda.
10 Ta läkitas siis ja laskis vangihoones Johannese pea otsast raiuda.
11 Ja tema pea toodi vaagnal ning anti neitsile; ja neitsi viis selle oma emale.
12 Ja tema jüngrid tulid ning võtsid tema keha ja matsid ta maha ja tulid ning teatasid sellest Jeesusele.
13 Kui Jeesus seda kuulis, läks Ta sealt paadiga ära tühja paika üksipäini. Ja kui rahvahulgad seda kuulsid, käisid nad linnadest jala Tema järel.
14 Ja maale astudes Ta nägi palju rahvast. Ja Tal hakkas nendest hale meel, ja Ta tegi terveks nende põdejad.
15 Ent õhtu tulles astusid jüngrid Tema juure ning ütlesid: „See on tühi paik ja aeg on juba möödas; lase rahvas minna, et nad läheksid küladesse ja ostaksid enestele toidupoolist."
16 Aga Jeesus ütles neile: „Nendel pole tarvis ära minna; andke teie neile süüa."
17 Nemad ütlesid Temale: „Meil ei ole siin rohkem kui viis leiba ja kaks kala!"
18 Kuid Tema ütles: „Tooge mulle need siia!"
19 Ja Ta käskis rahvahulgad istuda murule, võttis need viis leiba ja kaks kala, vaatas üles taeva poole ja õnnistas ning murdis ja andis leivad jüngrite kätte, aga jüngrid andsid rahvale.
20 Ja nad kõik sõid ja nende kõhud said täis. Ja nad korjasid kokku ülejäänud palukesi kaksteistkümmend korvitäit.
21 Ent neid, kes olid söönud, oli ligi viis tuhat meest peale naiste ja laste.
22 Ja sedamaid sundis Jeesus Oma jüngreid astuma paati ja sõitma Tema eele teisele poole, kuni Ta laseb rahva minema.
23 Kui Ta siis rahva oli lasknud minema, läks Ta Ise üles mäele üksipäini palvetama. Ja õhtu tulles oli Ta üksinda sealsamas.
24 Aga paat oli juba palju vagusid maad kaldast eemal ja oli hädas lainetega, sest tuul oli vastu.
25 Aga neljandal öövahikorral tuli Jeesus nende juure kõndides merel.
26 Ja kui jüngrid Teda nägid merel kõndivat, kohkusid nad ja ütlesid: „See on tont!" Ja nad kisendasid hirmu pärast.
27 Aga sedamaid rääkis Jeesus nendega ning ütles: „Olge julged, Mina olen see, ärge kartke!"
28 Peetrus kostis Temale ning ütles: „Issand, kui Sina oled, siis käsi mind tulla Enese juure vee peale!"
29 Tema ütles: „Tule!" Ja Peetrus astus paadist välja ning kõndis vee peal ja tuli Jeesuse juure.
30 Aga nähes tuult lõi ta kartma ja hakkas vajuma, kisendas ning ütles: „Issand, päästa mind!"
31 Ja Jeesus sirutas sedamaid Oma käe, haaras temast kinni ja ütles talle: „Sa nõdrausuline, miks sa kahtlesid?"
32 Ja nad astusid paati, ja tuul rauges.
33 Siis paadis olijad tulid ja kummardasid Teda ning ütlesid: „Tõesti, Sa oled Jumala Poeg!"
34 Ja kui nad olid jõudnud teisele kaldale, tulid nad Gennesareti maile.
35 Ja kui selle koha mehed Ta ära tundsid, läkitasid nad sõna kogu ümberkaudsele maale. Ja Tema juure toodi kõik haiged;
36 ja need palusid Teda, et nad saaksid vaid puudutada Tema kuue palistust. Ja nii paljud, kui puudutasid, said terveks.
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.
