Matthew 14
14
Yeshua’s Cousin Beheaded
1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Yeshua.
2He said to his servants, “This is John the Immerser—he has risen from the dead! Because of this, these powers are at work in Him.”
3For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip,
4because John had been telling him, “It is not permitted for you to have her.”
5Although Herod wanted to kill John, he feared the crowd because they considered John a prophet.
6But when Herod’s birthday celebration came, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,
7so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.
8Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Immerser, here on a platter!”
9The king became sorrowful; but because of his oaths and those reclining with him, he commanded it to be given.
10And he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.
11His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
12John’s disciples came forth and took the body and buried it. Then they went and reported to Yeshua.
Feeding Hungry Followers
13Now when Yeshua heard this, He went away from there privately by boat to an isolated place. But when the crowds heard, they followed Him on foot from the towns.
14As Yeshua came ashore, He saw a large crowd and felt compassion for them and healed their sick.
15When it became evening, the disciples came to Him, saying, “This place is isolated, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away so they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
16But Yeshua said to them, “They don’t need to leave—you give them something to eat.”
17“We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish,” they said to Him.
18“Bring them here to Me,” He said.
19Ordering the crowd to recline on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, He offered the bracha. After breaking the loaves, He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
20They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of broken pieces left over.
21Now those eating were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Testing Peter’s Faith to Walk on Water
22Right away, Yeshua made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.
23After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the hillside by Himself to pray. And when evening came, He was there alone.
24But the boat was already a long way from land, tossed around by the waves, for the wind was against it.
25Now in the fourth watch of the night, Yeshua came to them, walking on the sea.
26But when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It’s a ghost!” And they cried out with fear.
27But immediately, Yeshua spoke to them, saying, “Take courage! I am. Don’t be afraid.”
28Answering, Peter said to Him, “Master, if it’s You, command me to come to You on the water.”
29And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water to go to Yeshua.
30But seeing the wind, he became terrified. And beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Master, save me!”
31Immediately Yeshua reached out His hand and grabbed him. And He said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32When they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
33And those in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You really are Ben-Elohim!”
34After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.
35And when the men of that place recognized Yeshua, they sent word into all the surrounding region. And they brought to Him all those who were in bad shape
36and kept begging Him that they might just touch the tzitzit of His garment—and all who touched it were cured.

Mattityahu 14
14
1At that time reports about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to the oznayim (ears) of Herod the Tetrarch.
2And he said to his servants, This one is Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva. He has had his Techiyah (Resurrection) from HaMesim (the Dead) and for this reason the moftim (wonders) are working in him.
3For Herod had Yochanan arrested and bound him and threw him into the beit hasohar (prison), on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philippos.
4For Yochanan kept on saying to him, It is asur for you to have her.
5And [although] Herod was desiring to kill Yochanan, he feared the crowd, because they considered Yochanan a Navi.
6Now at the yom huledet celebration of Herod, it came about that the daughter of Herodias danced before them and Herod was pleased.
7Herod, therefore, with a shevuah, promised to give to her whatever she might ask.
8So she, prompted by her mother, said, Give to me here upon a serving tray the rosh (head) Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva.
9And, although grieving, the king commanded [it] to be given, on account of the shevuot (oaths) and the fellow muzmanim (guests).
10And he sent and had Yochanan beheaded in the beit hasohar.
11And the rosh Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva was brought upon a serving tray, and it was presented to the girl and she presented it to her mother.
12And Yochananʼs talmidim approached and carried away the niftar (deceased person) and buried him. Then they went and reported [it] to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
13And when he heard [this], he withdrew from there in a sirah (boat) to a desolate place by himself. And when the multitudes heard [this], they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach by land from the shtetlach.
14And having gone out, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw a great multitude, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach felt rachmei shomayim (heavenly compassion) for them and brought refuah (healing) to their cholim.
15Now when erev (evening) came, Moshiachʼs talmidim came to him, saying, This place is desolate and the time is late. Dismiss the multitude, so that, having gone into the shtetlach, they may buy for themselves okhel (food).
16But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, They have no need to go away. You yourselves give them something to eat.
17But Moshiachʼs talmidim say to him, We do not have here anything except five loaves and of dagim (fish), only two.
18But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Bring them here to me.
19And having commanded the multitudes to recline on the grass#14:19 as at tish and having taken the five loaves and the two dagim, and having looked up to Shomayim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said a bracha over the okhel, and having offered the betziat halechem (the breaking of the bread), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave the lechem to the talmidim, and Moshiachʼs talmidim served the lechem to the multitudes.
20And everyone ate and they were satisfied, and they took away shirayim (Rebbeʼs remainders, leftovers), shneym asar (twelve) baskets full.
21And the ones eating were about chamesh elafim (five thousand) men, apart from the nashim and yeladim.
22And immediately Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach compelled the talmidim to board a sirah (boat) and to go on ahead of him to the other side until he might send away the multitudes.
23And having sent away the multitudes, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to the mountain by himself to daven. Now when erev had come, he was alone there.
24Now the sirah (boat), being tossed by the waves (for the wind was against them), was by this time many stadia distant from the land.
25Now in the fourth watch of the night (between three o'clock and six o'clock in the morning), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to them, walking on the lake.
26But Moshiachʼs talmidim, having seen him walking on the lake, were terribly shaken, saying, It is a ruach refaim (an apparition)! From pachad they cried out.
27And immediately Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach spoke to them, saying, Chazak! Ani Hu.#14:27 Ex 3:14 (I am he) Do not be afraid.
28And Kefa said in reply to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, if it is really you, command me to come to you al pnei hamayim (on the surface of the waters).
29And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Boh! (Come!) And having gone down from the sirah (boat), Kefa walked al pnei hamayim (on the surface of the waters) and came toward him.
30And seeing the strong wind, Kefa was afraid, and having begun to sink, Kefa cried out, saying, Azreini! Adoni, hoshieini! (Help! L-rd, save me!)
31And immediately Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having stretched out (his) hand, took hold of Kefa and says to him, One of little emunah, why did you doubt?
32And as they were going up into the sirah (boat), the wind became still.
33And the ones in the sirah (boat) fell down before Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Beemes (Actually) you are the Ben HaElohim!
34And having crossed over, they came onto the land at Gennesaret.
35And having recognized him, the men of that place sent into all the surrounding region around, and they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach all the cholim,
36and they were appealing to him that they might touch even the Moshiachʼs tzitzit on his garment, and all who did, received Moshiachʼs refuah (healing).#14:36 Isa 53:5
