MATTHEW CHAPTER 14

Matthew 14:1 At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus,
14:2 and said to his servants, 'This is John the Baptist, he did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working in him.'
14:3 For Herod having laid hold on John, did bind him, and did put him in prison, because of Herodias his brother Philip's wife,
14:4 for John was saying to him, 'It is not lawful to thee to have her,'
14:5 and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.
14:6 But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod,
14:7 whereupon with an oath he professed to give her whatever she might ask.
14:8 And she having been instigated by her mother -- 'Give me (says she) here upon a plate the head of John the Baptist;
14:9 and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, he commanded [it] to be given;
Matthew 14:10 and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison,
14:11 and his head was brought upon a plate, and was given to the damsel, and she brought [it] nigh to her mother.
14:12 And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus,
14:13 and Jesus having heard, withdrew thence in a boat to a desolate place by himself, and the multitudes having heard did follow him on land from the cities.
14:14 And Jesus having come forth, saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion upon them, and did heal their infirm;
14:15 and evening having come, his disciples came to him, saying, 'The place is desolate, and the hour hath now past, let away the multitudes that, having gone to the villages, they may buy to themselves food.'
14:16 And Jesus said to them, 'They have no need to go away -- give ye them to eat.'
14:17 And they say to him, 'We have not here except five loaves, and two fishes.'
14:18 And he said, 'Bring ye them to me hither.'
14:19 And having commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he did bless, and having broken, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes,
Matthew 14:20 and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full;
14:21 and those eating were about five thousand men, apart from women and children.
14:22 And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes;
14:23 and having let away the multitudes, he went up to the mountain by himself to pray, and evening having come, he was there alone,
14:24 and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea,
14:26 and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying -- 'It is an apparition,' and from the fear they cried out;
14:27 and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, 'Be of good courage, I am [he], be not afraid.'
14:28 And Peter answering him said, 'Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;'
14:29 and he said, 'Come;' and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,
Matthew 14:30 but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, 'Sir, save me.'
14:31 And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, 'Little faith! for what didst thou waver?'
14:32 and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled,
14:33 and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, 'Truly -- God's Son art thou.'
14:34 And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret,
14:35 and having recognized him, the men of that place sent forth to all that region round about, and they brought to him all who were ill,
14:36 and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved.

MATTHEW CHAPTER 15

Matthew 15:1 Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem -- scribes and Pharisees -- saying,
15:2 'Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.'
15:3 And he answering said to them, 'Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
15:4 for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;
15:5 but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever thou mayest be profited by me; --
15:6 and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
15:7 'Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
15:8 This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me;
15:9 and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings -- commands of men.'
Matthew 15:10 And having called near the multitude, he said to them, 'Hear and understand:
15:11 not that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defileth the man.'
15:12 Then his disciples having come near, said to him, 'Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?'
15:13 And he answering said, 'Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up;
15:14 let them alone, guides they are -- blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.'
15:15 And Peter answering said to him, 'Explain to us this simile.'
15:16 And Jesus said, 'Are ye also yet without understanding?
15:17 do ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth?
15:18 but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man;
15:19 for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:
Matthew 15:20 these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashen hands doth not defile the man.'
15:21 And Jesus having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,
15:22 and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, 'Deal kindly with me, Sir -- Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.'
15:23 And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying -- 'Let her away, because she crieth after us;'
15:24 and he answering said, 'I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.'
15:25 And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, 'Sir, help me;'
15:26 and he answering said, 'It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.'
15:27 And she said, 'Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' table;'
15:28 then answering, Jesus said to her, 'O woman, great [is] thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.
15:29 And Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting there,
Matthew 15:30 and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them,
15:31 so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
15:32 And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, 'I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.'
15:33 And his disciples say to him, 'Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?'
15:34 And Jesus saith to them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven, and a few little fishes.'
15:35 And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,
15:36 and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
15:37 And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,
15:38 and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
15:39 And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders of Magdala.

MATTHEW CHAPTER 16

Matthew 16:1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, did question him, to shew to them a sign from the heaven,
16:2 and he answering said to them, 'Evening having come, ye say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red,
16:3 and at morning, Foul weather to-day, for the heaven is red -- gloomy; hypocrites, the face of the heavens indeed ye do know to discern, but the signs of the times ye are not able!
16:4 'A generation evil and adulterous doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;' and having left them he went away.
16:5 And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
16:6 and Jesus said to them, 'Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;'
16:7 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, 'Because we took no loaves.'
16:8 And Jesus having known, said to them, 'Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?
16:9 do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up?
Matthew 16:10 nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
16:11 how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of bread -- to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?'
16:12 Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
16:13 And Jesus, having come to the parts of Cesarea Philippi, was asking his disciples, saying, 'Who do men say me to be -- the Son of Man?'
16:14 and they said, 'Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.'
16:15 He saith to them, 'And ye -- who do ye say me to be?'
16:16 and Simon Peter answering said, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'
16:17 And Jesus answering said to him, 'Happy art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.
16:18 'And I also say to thee, that thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my assembly, and gates of Hades shall not prevail against it;
16:19 and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.'
Matthew 16:20 Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ.
16:21 From that time began Jesus to shew to his disciples that it is necessary for him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise.
16:22 And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, 'Be kind to thyself, sir; this shall not be to thee;'
16:23 and he having turned, said to Peter, 'Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'
16:24 Then said Jesus to his disciples, 'If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me,
16:25 for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake shall find it,
16:26 for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?
16:27 'For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work.
16:28 Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of Man coming in his reign.'

MATTHEW CHAPTER 17

Matthew 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,
17:2 and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,
17:3 and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together with him.
17:4 And Peter answering said to Jesus, 'Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths -- for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.'
17:5 While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My Son, -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'
17:6 And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid,
17:7 and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, 'Rise, be not afraid,'
17:8 and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
17:9 And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, 'Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.'
Matthew 17:10 And his disciples questioned him, saying, 'Why then do the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?'
17:11 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things,
17:12 and I say to you -- Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.'
17:13 Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spake to them.
17:14 And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him,
17:15 and saying, 'Sir, deal kindly with my son, for he is lunatic, and doth suffer miserably, for often he doth fall into the fire, and often into the water,
17:16 and I brought him near to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.'
17:17 And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;'
17:18 and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the lad was healed from that hour.
17:19 Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, 'Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?'
Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said to them, 'Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,
17:21 and this kind doth not go forth except in prayer and fasting.'
17:22 And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, 'The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men,
17:23 and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,' and they were exceeding sorry.
17:24 And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, 'Your teacher -- doth he not pay the didrachms?' He saith, 'Yes.'
17:25 And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, 'What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth -- from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons or from the strangers?'
17:26 Peter saith to him, 'From the strangers.' Jesus said to him, 'Then are the sons free;
17:27 but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.'
