V 001 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
V 002 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen
from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in
him.
V 003 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in
prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
V 004 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
V 005 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude,
because they counted him as a prophet.
V 006 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias
danced before them, and pleased Herod.
V 007 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she
would ask.
V 008 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here
John Baptist's head in a charger.
V 009 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them
which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
V 010 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
V 011 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel:
and she brought it to her mother.
V 012 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and
went and told Jesus.
V 013 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert
place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on
foot out of the cities.
V 014 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved
with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
V 015 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This
is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away,
that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
V 016 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to
eat.
V 017 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two
fishes.
V 018 He said, Bring them hither to me.
V 019 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took
the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he
blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the
disciples to the multitude.
V 020 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
V 021 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women
and children.
V 022 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a
ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the
multitudes away.
V 023 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a
mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there
alone.
V 024 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves:
for the wind was contrary.
V 025 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking
on the sea.
V 026 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
V 027 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer;
it is I; be not afraid.
V 028 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come
unto thee on the water.
V 029 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship,
he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
V 030 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning
to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
V 031 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him,
and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
V 032 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
V 033 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying,
Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
V 034 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret.
V 035 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out
into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were
diseased;
V 036 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his
garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. |

موت يوحنا المعمدان.
1-
وفي ذلِكَ الوَقتِ سمِعَ الوالي هيرودُسُ
أخبارَ يَسوعَ،
2-
فقالَ لحاشِيَـتِهِ: "هذا يوحنّا المَعمدانُ
قامَ مِنْ بَينِ الأمواتِ، ولذلِكَ تَجري المُعْجِزاتُ على
يَدِهِ".
3-
وكانَ هيرودُسُ أمسَكَ يوحنّا وقَيَّدَهُ وسَجَنَهُ
مِنْ أجلِ هيرودِيَّةَ اَمرأةِ أخيهِ فيلبٌّسَ،
4-
لأنَّ
يوحنّا كانَ يقولُ لَه: "لا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أنْ تَتَزوَّجَها".
5-
وأرادَ أنْ يَقتُلَهُ، فخافَ مِنَ الشَّعبِ لأنَّهُم كانوا
يَعدٌّونَهُ نَبـيُا.
6-
ولمّا أقامَ هيرودُسُ ذِكرى
مَولِدِهِ، رقَصَتِ اَبنَةُ هيرودِيَّةَ في الحَفلةِ،
فأعجَبَتْ هيرودُسَ،
7-
فأقسَمَ لها أنْ يُعطِيَها ما تَشاءُ.
8-
فلقَّنَتْها أمٌّها، فقالَت لِهيرودُسَ: "أعطِني هُنا على
طَبَقٍ رَأسَ يوحنّا المَعمدانِ!"
9-
فحَزِنَ المَلِكُ،
ولكنَّهُ أمَرَ بإعطائِها ما تُريدُ، مِنْ أجلِ اليَمينِ
التي حَلَفَها على مسامِـعِ الحاضرينَ.
10-
وأرسَلَ جُنديُا،
فقَطَعَ رأسَ يوحنَّا في السَّجن
11-
وجاءَ بِه على طبَقٍ.
وسلَّمَهُ إلى الفتاةِ، فحَمَلْتهُ إلى أُمَّها.
12-
وجاءَ
تلاميذُ يوحنّا، فحَمَلوا الجُثَّةَ ودَفَنوها، ثُمَّ
ذَهَبوا وأخبَروا يَسوعَ.
يسوع يطعم خمسة آلاف رجل.
13-
فلمّا سَمِعَ يَسوعُ، خرَجَ مِنْ هُناكَ في
قارِبٍ إلى مكانٍ مُقْفِرٍ يَعتَزِلُ فيهِ. وعرَفَ النّاسُ،
فتَبِعوهُ مِنَ المُدُنِ مَشيًا على الأقدامِ.
14-
فلمّا نزَلَ مِنَ القاربِ رأى جُموعًا
كبـيرةً، فأشفَقَ علَيهِم وشفَى مَرضاهُم.
15-
وفي المساءِ، دَنا مِنهُ تلاميذُهُ وقالوا:
"فاتَ الوقتُ، وهذا المكانُ مُقفِرٌ، فقُلْ لِلنّاسِ أنْ
يَنصرِفوا إلى القُرى لِـيشتَروا لهُم طعامًا".
16-
فأجابَهُم
يَسوعُ: "لا داعيَ لاَنصرافِهِم. أعطوهُم أنتُم ما يأكلونَ".
17-
فقالوا لَه: "ما عِندَنا هُنا غيرُ خَمسةِ أرغِفةٍ
وسَمكتَينِ".
18-
فقالَ يَسوعُ: "هاتوا ما عندَكُم".
19-
ثُمَّ أمَرَ الجُموعَ أنْ يَقعُدوا على العُشبِ، وأخَذَ
الأرغِفَةَ
الخَمسَةَ والسَّمكتَينِ، ورَفَعَ عَينَيهِ نحوَ
السَّماءِ
وبارَكَ وكسَرَ الأرغِفَةَ وأعطَى
تلامِيذَهُ، والتَّلاميذُ أعطَوا الجُموعَ.
20-
فأكلوا
كُلٌّهُم حتَّى شَبِعوا، ثُمَّ رَفَعوا اَثنتي عَشْرةَ
قُفَّةً مملوءةً مِنَ الكِسَرِ التي فَضَلَتْ.
21-
وكانَ
الَّذينَ أكلوا نحوَ خَمسةِ آلافِ رجُلٍ، ما عدا
النَّساءَ والأولادَ.
يسوع يمشي على الماء.
22-
وأمرَ يَسوعُ تلاميذَهُ أن يَركبوا
القارِبَ في الحالِ ويَسبِقوهُ إلى الشَّاطِـئِ
المُقابلِ حتى يَصرِفَ الجُموعَ.
23-
ولمّا صرَفَهُم صَعِدَ إلى الجبَلِ
ليصَلّيَ في العُزلَةِ. وكانَ وحدَهُ هُناكَ عِندَما
جاءَ المساءُ.
24-
وأمّا القارِبُ فاَبتَعدَ كثيرًا عَنِ
الشَّاطئِ وطَغَتِ الأمواجُ علَيهِ، لأنَّ الرَّيحَ
كانَت مُخالِفَةً لَه.
25-
وقَبلَ الفَجرِ، جاءَ يَسوعُ إلى
تلاميذِهِ ماشيًا على البَحرِ.
26-
فلمّا رآ.هُ التَّلاميذُ ماشيًا على
البَحرِ اَرتَعبوا وقالوا: "هذا شَبَحٌ!" وصَرَخوا
مِنْ شِدَّةِ الخَوفِ.
27-
فقالَ لهُم يَسوعُ في الحالِ:
"تَشجَّعوا. أنا هوَ، لا تخافوا!"
28-
فقالَ لَه بُطرُسُ: "إنْ كُنتَ أنتَ
هوَ، يا سيَّدُ، فَمُرْني أنْ أجيءَ إلَيكَ على
الماءِ".
29-
فأجابَهُ يَسوعُ: "تعالَ". فنَزَلَ
بُطرُسُ مِنَ القارِبِ ومشَى على الماءِ نحوَ يَسوعَ.
30-
ولكنَّهُ خافَ عِندَما رأى الرَّيحَ
شديدةً فأخَذَ يَغرَقُ، فَصرَخ: "نَجَّني، يا سيَّدُ!"
31-
فمَدَّ يَسوعُ يدَهُ في الحالِ
وأمسكَهُ وقالَ لَه: "يا قليلَ الإيمانِ، لِماذا
شكَكْتَ؟"
32-
ولمّا صَعِدا إلى القارِبِ هَدأَتِ
الرَّيحُ.
33-
فسجَدَ لَه الَّذينَ كانوا في القارِبِ
وقالوا: "بالحقيقةِ أنتَ اَبنُ الله!"
يسوع يشفي من أمراض كثيرة.
34-
وعَبَرَ يَسوعُ وتلاميذُهُ إلى بَــرَّ
جَنّيسارَتَ.
35-
فلمّا عرَفَ أهلُ البَلْدَةِ يَسوعَ،
نَشروا الخبَرَ في تِلكَ الأنحاءِ كُلَّها. فجاؤُوهُ
بالمَرضى
36-
وطَلَبوا إلَيهِ أنْ يَلمُسوا ولو
طرَفَ ثوبِهِ. فكانَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَلمُسُه يُشفى. |
