Matthew 14 (WEBP)

[1] At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
[2] and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”
[3] For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
[4] For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
[5] When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
[6] But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
[7] Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
[8] She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”
[9] The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,
[10] and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
[11] His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.
[12] His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
[13] Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
[14] Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
[15] When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.”
[16] But Jesus said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
[17] They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
[18] He said, “Bring them here to me.”
[19] He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
[20] They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
[21] Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
[22] Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
[23] After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
[24] But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
[25] In the fourth watch of the night,° Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
[26] When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
[27] But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I!§ Don’t be afraid.”
[28] Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
[29] He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
[30] But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
[31] Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
[32] When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
[33] Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”
[34] When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
[35] When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;
[36] and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe§ of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

Matthew 14:25a The night was equally divided into four watches, so the fourth watch is approximately 3:00 a.m. to sunrise.

Matthew 14 (KJVS)

[1] At G1722 that G1565 time G2540 Herod G2264 the tetrarch G5076 heard G191 (AorActInd) of the fame G189 of Jesus G2424,
[2] And G2532 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto his G846 servants G3816, This G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) John G2491 the Baptist G910; he G846 is risen G1453 (AorPasInd) from G575 the dead G3498; and G2532 therefore G1223 G5124 mighty works G1411 do shew forth themselves G1754 (PresActInd) in G1722 him G846.
[3] For G1063 Herod G2264 had laid hold G2902 (AorActPtc) on John G2491, and bound G1210 (AorActInd) him G846, and G2532 put G5087 (Aor2MidInd) [him] in G1722 prison G5438 for G1223 Herodias’ G2266 sake G1223, his G846 brother G80 Philip’s G5376 wife G1135.
[4] For G1063 John G2491 said G3004 (ImpfActInd) unto him G846, It is G1832 not G3756 lawful G1832 (PresInd) for thee G4671 to have G2192 (PresActInf) her G846.
[5] And G2532 when he would G2309 (PresActPtc) have put G615 him G846 to death G615 (AorActInf), he feared G5399 (AorPasDepInd) the multitude G3793, because G3754 they counted G2192 (ImpfActInd) him G846 as G5613 a prophet G4396.
[6] But G1161 when Herod’s G2264 birthday G1077 was kept G71 (PresPasPtc), the daughter G2364 of Herodias G2266 danced G3738 (AorMidDepInd) before them G1722 G3319, and G2532 pleased G700 (AorActInd) Herod G2264.
[7] Whereupon G3606 he promised G3670 (AorActInd) with G3326 an oath G3727 to give G1325 (Aor2ActInf) her G846 whatsoever G3739 G1437 she would ask G154 (AorMidSubj).
[8] And G1161 she, being before instructed G4264 (AorPasPtc) of G5259 her G846 mother G3384, said G5346 (PresInd), Give G1325 (Aor2ActImpr) me G3427 here G5602 John G2491 Baptist’s G910 head G2776 in G1909 a charger G4094.
[9] And G2532 the king G935 was sorry G3076 (AorPasInd): nevertheless for G1161 G1223 the oath’s sake G3727, and G2532 them which sat with him at meat G4873 (PresMidPasDepPtc), he commanded G2753 (AorActInd) [it] to be given G1325 (AorPasInf) [her].
[10] And G2532 he sent G3992 (AorActPtc), and beheaded G607 (AorActInd) John G2491 in G1722 the prison G5438.
[11] And G2532 his G846 head G2776 was brought G5342 (AorPasInd) in G1909 a charger G4094, and G2532 given G1325 (AorPasInd) to the damsel G2877: and G2532 she brought G5342 (AorActInd) [it] to her G846 mother G3384.
[12] And G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 came G4334 (Aor2ActPtc), and took up G142 (AorActInd) the body G4983, and G2532 buried G2290 (AorActInd) it G846, and G2532 went G2064 (Aor2ActPtc) and told G518 (AorActInd) Jesus G2424.
[13] When G2532 Jesus G2424 heard G191 (AorActPtc) [of it], he departed G402 (AorActInd) thence G1564 by G1722 ship G4143 into G1519 a desert G2048 place G5117 apart G2596 G2398: and G2532 when the people G3793 had heard G191 (AorActPtc) [thereof], they followed G190 (AorActInd) him G846 on foot G3979 out of G575 the cities G4172.
[14] And G2532 Jesus G2424 went forth G1831 (Aor2ActPtc), and saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) a great G4183 multitude G3793, and G2532 was moved with compassion G4697 (AorPasDepInd) toward G1909 them G846, and G2532 he healed G2323 (AorActInd) their G846 sick G732.
[15] And G1161 when it was G1096 (Aor2MidDepPtc) evening G3798, his G846 disciples G3101 came G4334 (AorActInd) to him G846, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), This is G2076 (PresInd) a desert G2048 place G5117, and G2532 the time G5610 is now G2235 past G3928 (Aor2ActInd); send G630 the multitude G3793 away G630 (AorActImpr), that G2443 they may go G565 (Aor2ActPtc) into G1519 the villages G2968, and buy G59 (AorActSubj) themselves G1438 victuals G1033.
[16] But G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto them G846, They need G5532 not G3756 depart G565 (Aor2ActInf) G2192 (PresActInd); give G1325 (Aor2ActImpr) ye G5210 them G846 to eat G5315 (Aor2ActInf).
[17] And G1161 they say G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, We have G2192 (PresActInd) here G5602 but G3756 G1508 five G4002 loaves G740, and G2532 two G1417 fishes G2486.
[18] G1161 He said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), Bring G5342 (PresActImpr) them G846 hither G5602 to me G3427.
[19] And G2532 he commanded G2753 (AorActPtc) the multitude G3793 to sit down G347 (AorPasInf) on G1909 the grass G5528, and G2532 took G2983 (Aor2ActPtc) the five G4002 loaves G740, and G2532 the two G1417 fishes G2486, and looking up G308 (AorActPtc) to G1519 heaven G3772, he blessed G2127 (AorActInd), and G2532 brake G2806 (AorActPtc), and gave G1325 (AorActInd) the loaves G740 to [his] disciples G3101, and G1161 the disciples G3101 to the multitude G3793.
[20] And G2532 they did G5315 all G3956 eat G5315 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 were filled G5526 (AorPasInd): and G2532 they took up G142 (AorActInd) of the fragments G2801 that remained G4052 (PresActPtc) twelve G1427 baskets G2894 full G4134.
[21] And G1161 they that had eaten G2068 (PresActPtc) were G2258 (ImpfInd) about G5616 five thousand G4000 men G435, beside G5565 women G1135 and G2532 children G3813.
[22] And G2532 straightway G2112 Jesus G2424 constrained G315 (AorActInd) his G846 disciples G3101 to get G1684 (Aor2ActInf) into G1519 a ship G4143, and G2532 to go before G4254 (PresActInf) him G846 unto G1519 the other side G4008, while G2193 G3739 he sent G630 the multitudes G3793 away G630 (AorActSubj).
[23] And G2532 when he had sent G630 the multitudes G3793 away G630 (AorActPtc), he went up G305 (Aor2ActInd) into G1519 a mountain G3735 apart G2596 G2398 to pray G4336 (AorMidDepInf): and G1161 when the evening G3798 was come G1096 (Aor2MidDepPtc), he was G2258 (ImpfInd) there G1563 alone G3441.
[24] But G1161 the ship G4143 was G2258 (ImpfInd) now G2235 in the midst G3319 of the sea G2281, tossed G928 (PresPasPtc) with G5259 waves G2949: for G1063 the wind G417 was G2258 (ImpfInd) contrary G1727.
[25] And G1161 in the fourth G5067 watch G5438 of the night G3571 Jesus G2424 went G565 (Aor2ActInd) unto G4314 them G846, walking G4043 (PresActPtc) on G1909 the sea G2281.
[26] And G2532 when the disciples G3101 saw G1492 (Aor2ActPtc) him G846 walking G4043 (PresActPtc) on G1909 the sea G2281, they were troubled G5015 (AorPasInd), saying G3004 (PresActPtc) G3754, It is G2076 (PresInd) a spirit G5326; and G2532 they cried out G2896 (AorActInd) for G575 fear G5401.
[27] But G1161 straightway G2112 Jesus G2424 spake G2980 (AorActInd) unto them G846, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Be of good cheer G2293 (PresActImpr); it is G1510 (PresInd) I G1473; be G5399 not G3361 afraid G5399 (PresMidPasDepImpr).
[28] And G1161 Peter G4074 answered G611 (AorPasDepPtc) him G846 and said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), Lord G2962, if G1487 it be G1488 (PresInd) thou G4771, bid G2753 (AorActImpr) me G3165 come G2064 (Aor2ActInf) unto G4314 thee G4571 on G1909 the water G5204.
[29] And G1161 he said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), Come G2064 (Aor2ActImpr). And G2532 when Peter G4074 was come down G2597 (Aor2ActPtc) out of G575 the ship G4143, he walked G4043 (AorActInd) on G1909 the water G5204, to go G2064 (Aor2ActInf) to G4314 Jesus G2424.
[30] But G1161 when he saw G991 (PresActPtc) the wind G417 boisterous G2478, he was afraid G5399 (AorPasDepInd); and G2532 beginning G756 (AorMidPtc) to sink G2670 (PresPasInf), he cried G2896 (AorActInd), saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Lord G2962, save G4982 (AorActImpr) me G3165.
[31] And G1161 immediately G2112 Jesus G2424 stretched forth G1614 (AorActPtc) [his] hand G5495, and caught G1949 (Aor2MidDepInd) him G846, and G2532 said G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, O thou of little faith G3640, wherefore G1519 G5101 didst thou doubt G1365 (AorActInd)?
[32] And G2532 when they G846 were come G1684 (Aor2ActPtc) into G1519 the ship G4143, the wind G417 ceased G2869 (AorActInd).
[33] Then G1161 they that were in G1722 the ship G4143 came G2064 (Aor2ActPtc) and worshipped G4352 (AorActInd) him G846, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Of a truth G230 thou art G1488 (PresInd) the Son G5207 of God G2316.
[34] And G2532 when they were gone over G1276 (AorActPtc), they came G2064 (Aor2ActInd) into G1519 the land G1093 of Gennesaret G1082.
[35] And G2532 when the men G435 of that G1565 place G5117 had knowledge G1921 (Aor2ActPtc) of him G846, they sent out G649 (AorActInd) into G1519 all G3650 that G1565 country round about G4066, and G2532 brought G4374 (AorActInd) unto him G846 all G3956 that were G2192 (PresActPtc) diseased G2560;
[36] And G2532 besought G3870 (ImpfActInd) him G846 that G2443 they might G680 only G3440 touch G680 (AorMidSubj) the hem G2899 of his G846 garment G2440: and G2532 as many as G3745 touched G680 (AorMidDepInd) were made perfectly whole G1295 (AorPasInd).

Young’s Literal Translation

Matthew 14 (YLT)

[1] At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus,
[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.’
[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,
[4] for John was saying to him, ‘It is not lawful to thee to have her,’
[5] and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.
[6] But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod,
[7] whereupon with an oath he professed to give her whatever she might ask.
[8] And she having been instigated by her mother-‘Give me (says she) here upon a plate the head of John the Baptist;
[9] and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, he commanded it to be given;
[10] and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison,
[11] and his head was brought upon a plate, and was given to the damsel, and she brought it nigh to her mother.
[12] And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus,
[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] And Jesus having come forth, saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion upon them, and did heal their infirm;
[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.’
[16] And Jesus said to them, ‘They have no need to go away-give ye them to eat.’
[17] And they say to him, ‘We have not here except five loaves, and two fishes.’
[18] And he said, ‘Bring ye them to me hither.’
[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,
[20] and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full;
[21] and those eating were about five thousand men, apart from women and children.
[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;
[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,
[24] and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
[25] And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea,
[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;
[27] and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, ‘Be of good courage, I am he, be not afraid.’
[28] And Peter answering him said, ‘Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;’
[29] and he said, ‘Come;’ and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,
[30] but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, ‘Sir, save me.’
[31] And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, ‘Little faith! for what didst thou waver?’
[32] and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled,
[33] and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, ‘Truly-God’s Son art thou.’
[34] And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret,
[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,
[36] and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved.
