ULT MAT Chapter 14

14 At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus. 2 And he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead, and because of this the powers work in him.” 3 For Herod, having seized John, bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. 4 For John was saying to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 And wanting to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they were regarding him as a prophet. 6 But the birthday of Herod having come, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst and pleased Herod, 7 because of which he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 8 Now she, having been urged beforehand by her mother, said, “Give me here, on a platter, the head of John the Baptist.” 9 And the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and the ones reclining to eat with him, he commanded it to be given. 10 And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12 And having approached, his disciples took away the corpse and buried him. And having come, they reported this to Jesus.

13 Now having heard, Jesus withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. And having heard, the crowds followed him on foot from the cities. 14 And having come out, he saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 Now evening having come, the disciples came to him, saying, “This place is desolate, and the hour has already passed by. Send the crowds away so that, having gone away to the villages, they might buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said to them, “They have no need to go away. You give them to eat.” 17 But they say to him, “We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish.” 18 But he said, “Bring them here to me.” 19 And having commanded the crowds to recline on the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to heaven, he blessed, and having broken them, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds. 20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up the remaining of the broken pieces—12 baskets full. 21 Now the ones eating were about 5,000 men, besides women and children.

22 And immediately he compelled the disciples to get into the boat and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the crowds away. 23 And having sent the crowds away, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. Now evening having come, he was there alone. 24 But the boat was already in the middle of the sea[fn], being tormented by the waves, for the wind was against it. 25 Now in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But the disciples, having seen him walking on the sea, were greatly troubled, saying, “It is a ghost,” and they cried out from fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage! It is I! Do not be afraid.” 28 But answering him, Peter said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 And he said, “Come.” And Peter, having gotten out from the boat, walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But seeing the strong wind, he became afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 But immediately, Jesus, having stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and says to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they had gotten into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And the ones in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

34 And having crossed over, they came to the land at Gennesaret. 35 And having recognized him, the men of that place sent into all that surrounding area, and they brought to him all the ones having sickness. 36 And they were begging him so that they might only touch the edge of his garment, and as many as touched it were healed.

Instead of was already in the middle of the sea, some manuscripts read was already many stadia away from the land.
