Matthæus 14

¹ På den Tid hørte Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes Rygtet om Jesus.

¹ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus,

³ Thi Herodes havde grebet Johannes og bundet ham og sat ham i Fængsel for sin Broder Filips Hustru, Herodias's Skyld.

³ For when Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.

⁵ Og han vilde gerne slå ham ihjel, men frygtede for Mængden, thi de holdt ham for en Profet.

⁵ Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded John as a prophet.

⁷ Derfor lovede han med en Ed at give hende, hvad som helst hun begærede.

⁷ so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.

⁹ Og Kongen blev bedrøvet; men for sine Eders og for Gæsternes Skyld befalede han, at det skulde gives hende.

⁹ Although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths, and because of his dinner guests.

¹¹ Og hans Hoved blev bragt på et Fad og givet Pigen, og hun bragte det til sin Moder.

¹¹ And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

¹³ Og da Jesus hørte det, drog han bort derfra i et Skib til et øde Sted afsides; og da Skarerne hørte det, fulgte de ham til Fods fra Byerne.

¹³ Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

¹⁵ Men da det blev Aften, kom Disciplene til ham og sagde: "Stedet er øde, og Tiden er allerede forløben; lad Skarerne gå bort, for at de kunne gå hen i Landsbyerne og købe sig Mad."

¹⁵ When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”

¹⁷ Men de sige til ham: "Vi have ikke her uden fem Brød og to Fisk."

¹⁷ They *said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”

¹⁹ Og han bød Skarerne at sætte sig ned i Græsset og tog de fem Brød og de to Fisk, så op til Himmelen og velsignede; og han brød Brødene og gav Disciplene dem, og Disciplene gave dem til Skarerne.

¹⁹ Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,

²¹ Men de, som spiste, vare omtrent fem Tusinde Mænd, foruden Kvinder og Børn.

²¹ There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.

²³ Og da han havde ladet Skarerne gå bort, gik han op på Bjerget afsides for at bede. Og da det blev silde, var han der alene.

²³ After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.

²⁵ Men i den fjerde Nattevagt kom han til dem, vandrende på Søen.

²⁵ And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea.

²⁷ Men straks talte Jesus til dem og sagde: "Værer frimodige; det er mig, frygter ikke!"

²⁷ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”

²⁹ Men han sagde: "Kom!" Og Peter trådte ned fra Skibet og vandrede på Vandet for at komme til Jesus.

²⁹ And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

³¹ Og straks udrakte Jesus Hånden og greb ham, og han siger til ham: "Du lidettroende, hvorfor tvivlede du?"

³¹ Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

³³ Men de, som vare i Skibet, faldt ned for ham og sagde: "Du er sandelig Guds Søn."

³³ And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly God’s Son!”

³⁵ Og da Folkene på det Sted kendte ham, sendte de Bud til hele Egnen der omkring og bragte alle de syge til ham.

³⁵ And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick;
