Matthew 14

The Death of John the Baptist

(Mark 6.14-29; Luke 9.7-9)

1About this time Herod the ruler#14.1 Herod the ruler: Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great (see 2.1). heard the news about Jesus 2and told his officials, “This is John the Baptist! He has come back from death, and that's why he has the power to work these miracles.”

3-4 # Lk 3.19,20; Lv 18.16; 20.21. Herod had earlier arrested John and had him chained and put in prison. He did this because John had told him, “It isn't right for you to take Herodias, the wife of your brother Philip.” 5Herod wanted to kill John. But the people thought John was a prophet, and Herod was afraid of what they might do.

6When Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests. She pleased Herod 7so much he swore to give her whatever she wanted. 8But the girl's mother told her to say, “Here on a serving plate I want the head of John the Baptist!”

9Herod was sorry for what he had said. But he did not want to break the promise he had made in front of his guests. So he ordered a guard 10to go to the prison and cut off John's head. 11It was taken on a serving plate to the girl, and she gave it to her mother. 12John's followers took his body and buried it. Then they told Jesus what had happened.

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand

(Mark 6.30-44; Luke 9.10-17; John 6.1-14)

13After Jesus heard about John, he crossed Lake Galilee#14.13 crossed Lake Galilee: To the east side. to go to some place where he could be alone. But the crowds found out and followed him on foot from the towns. 14When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw the large crowd. He felt sorry for them and healed everyone who was sick.

15That evening the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This place is like a desert, and it's already late. Let the crowds leave, so they can go to the villages and buy some food.”

16Jesus replied, “They don't have to leave. Why don't you give them something to eat?”

17But they said, “We have only five small loaves of bread#14.17 small loaves of bread: These would have been flat and round or in the shape of a bun. and two fish.” 18Jesus asked his disciples to bring the food to him, 19and he told the crowd to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven and blessed the food. Then he broke the bread and handed it to his disciples, and they gave it to the people.

20After everyone had eaten all they wanted, Jesus' disciples picked up twelve large baskets of leftovers.

21There were about 5,000 men who ate, not counting the women and children.

Jesus Walks on the Water

(Mark 6.45-52; John 6.15-21)

22At once, Jesus made his disciples get into a boat and start back across the lake.#14.22 back across the lake: To the west side. But he stayed until he had sent the crowds away. 23Then he went up on a mountain where he could be alone and pray. Later in the evening, he was still there.

24By this time the boat was a long way from the shore. It was going against the wind and was being tossed around by the waves. 25A little while before morning, Jesus came walking on the water toward his disciples. 26When they saw him, they thought he was a ghost. They were terrified and started screaming.

27At once, Jesus said to them, “Don't worry! I am Jesus. Don't be afraid.”

28Peter replied, “Lord, if it really is you, tell me to come to you on the water.”

29“Come on!” Jesus said. Peter then got out of the boat and started walking on the water toward him.

30But when Peter saw how strong the wind was, he was afraid and started sinking. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.

31At once, Jesus reached out his hand. He helped Peter up and said, “You surely don't have much faith. Why do you doubt?”

32When Jesus and Peter got into the boat, the wind died down. 33The men in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, “You really are the Son of God!”

Jesus Heals Sick People in Gennesaret

(Mark 6.53-56)

34Jesus and his disciples crossed the lake and came to shore near the town of Gennesaret. 35The people found out he was there, and they sent word to everyone who lived in this part of the country. So they brought all the sick people to Jesus. 36They begged him just to let them touch his clothes, and everyone who did was healed.

Mateo 14

Ang Pagkamatay ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo

(Mc. 6:14-29; Lu. 9:7-9)

1Ang balita tungkol kay Jesus ay nakarating kay Herodes na gobernador ng Galilea,#14:1 HERODES NA GOBERNADOR NG GALILEA: Ang Herodes na ito'y si Antipas, isa sa mga anak ni Haring Herodes na Dakila. 2kaya't nasabi niya sa kanyang mga lingkod, “Si Juan na Tagapagbautismo iyon! Siya'y muling nabuhay kaya't nakakagawa ng mga himala!”

3Itong#Lu. 3:19-20. si Herodes ang nagpahuli kay Juan. Ipinagapos niya ito at ipinabilanggo dahil kay Herodias na asawa ng kapatid niyang si Felipe. 4Sapagkat#Lev. 18:16; 20:21. sinasabi ni Juan kay Herodes, “Bawal na magsama kayo ng asawa ng iyong kapatid.” 5Ibig ni Herodes na ipapatay si Juan, ngunit natatakot siya sa mga Judio sapagkat kinikilala nilang propeta si Juan na Tagapagbautismo.

6Nang sumapit ang kaarawan ni Herodes, sumayaw ang anak na babae ni Herodias sa harap ng mga panauhin. Labis na nasiyahan si Herodes, 7kaya't sumumpa siyang ibibigay sa dalaga ang anumang hingin nito. 8Sa udyok ng kanyang ina, sinabi ng dalaga sa hari, “Ibigay po ninyo sa akin ngayon din, sa isang pinggan, ang ulo ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo.” 9Nalungkot ang hari, ngunit dahil sa kanyang pangakong narinig ng mga panauhin, iniutos niya na ibigay sa dalaga ang hiningi nito. 10Kaya't pinapugutan niya si Juan sa bilangguan. 11Inilagay ang ulo sa isang pinggan at ibinigay ito sa dalaga. Dinala naman ito ng dalaga sa kanyang ina.

12Dumating ang mga alagad ni Juan, kinuha ang kanyang bangkay at inilibing. Pagkatapos, ibinalita nila kay Jesus ang nangyari.

Ang Mahimalang Pagpapakain sa Limanlibo

(Mc. 6:30-44; Lu. 9:10-17; Jn. 6:1-14)

13Nang marinig ni Jesus ang pagkamatay ni Juan, sumakay siya sa isang bangka at pumunta sa isang lugar na walang tao. Ngunit nang mabalitaan naman iyon ng mga tao, sila'y naglakad papalabas sa kani-kanilang bayan at sinundan si Jesus. 14Pagdating ni Jesus sa dalampasigan, nakita niya ang napakaraming taong iyon. Nahabag siya sa kanila at pinagaling niya ang mga maysakit na dala nila.

15Nang dapit-hapon na'y lumapit sa kanya ang mga alagad. Sinabi nila, “Malapit na pong lumubog ang araw at liblib ang lugar na ito. Papuntahin na po ninyo sa mga kalapit na nayon ang mga tao upang makabili ng kanilang makakain.”

16“Hindi na sila kailangang umalis. Bigyan ninyo sila ng makakain,” sabi ni Jesus.

17Sumagot sila, “Wala po tayong pagkain kundi limang tinapay lamang at dalawang isda.”

18“Dalhin ninyo rito,” sabi niya. 19Pinaupo niya sa damuhan ang mga tao. Kinuha ang limang tinapay at dalawang isda, tumingala siya sa langit at nagpasalamat sa Diyos. Pinaghati-hati niya ang mga tinapay at iniutos sa mga alagad na ipamahagi iyon sa mga tao. 20Nakakain at nabusog ang lahat. Nang ipunin ng mga alagad ang natirang pagkain, nakapuno pa sila ng labindalawang kaing ng tinapay. 21May limanlibong lalaki ang nakakain, bukod pa sa mga babae at mga bata.

Lumakad si Jesus sa Ibabaw ng Tubig

(Mc. 6:45-52; Jn. 6:15-21)

22Agad pinasakay ni Jesus sa bangka ang mga alagad at pinauna sa kabilang ibayo. Samantala, pinauwi naman niya ang mga tao. 23Matapos niyang paalisin ang mga ito, mag-isa siyang umakyat sa bundok upang manalangin. Nag-iisa siyang inabutan doon ng gabi. 24Samantala, ang bangka ay nasa laot na ngunit sinasalpok ito ng mga alon dahil pasalungat ito sa hangin. 25Nang madaling-araw na'y sumunod sa kanila si Jesus na naglalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig. 26Kinilabutan sa takot ang mga alagad nang makita nilang may lumalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig. “Multo!” sigaw nila. 27Ngunit nagsalita agad si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, “Huwag kayong matakot, ako ito!”

28Sinabi ni Pedro, “Panginoon, kung talagang ikaw nga iyan, papuntahin mo ako diyan sa kinaroroonan mo sa ibabaw ng tubig.”

29Sumagot siya, “Halika.”

Mula sa bangka ay lumakad si Pedro sa ibabaw ng tubig papunta kay Jesus. 30Ngunit nang mapansin niya na malakas ang hangin,#14:30 na malakas ang hangin: Sa ibang manuskrito'y ang hangin. siya'y natakot at nagsimulang lumubog. “Panginoon, sagipin ninyo ako!” sigaw niya.

31Agad siyang hinawakan ni Jesus. “Bakit ka nag-alinlangan? Napakaliit ng iyong pananampalataya!” sabi niya kay Pedro.

32Pagkasakay nila sa bangka, tumigil ang hangin 33at sinamba siya ng mga nasa bangka. “Tunay nga pong kayo ang Anak ng Diyos!” sabi nila.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang mga Maysakit sa Genesaret

(Mc. 6:53-56)

34Tumawid sila ng lawa at dumating sila sa baybayin ng Genesaret. 35Si Jesus ay nakilala ng mga tagaroon at agad nilang ipinamalita ang kanyang pagdating, kaya't dinala ng mga tao ang lahat ng maysakit sa buong lupaing iyon. 36Hiniling nila kay Jesus na mahawakan man lamang ng mga maysakit ang laylayan ng kanyang damit; at ang lahat ng gumawa nito ay nagsigaling.
