Peshitta (Lamsa, 1933)
Pes(Lam)
[1]At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, [1]AT that time Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.
[2]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. [2]And he said to his servants, This man is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead; this is why great miracles are wrought by him.
[3]For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. [3]For Herod had arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
[4]For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. [4]For John had said to him, It is unlawful to have her as your wife.
[5]And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. [5]So Herod wanted to kill him, but he was afraid of the people, because they accepted him as a prophet.
[6]But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. [6]When Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests, and it pleased Herod.
[7]Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. [7]He therefore swore to her with oaths, that he would give her anything that she asked.
[8]And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. [8]And she, because she was instructed by her mother, said, Give me right here on a tray the head of John the Baptist.
[9]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. [9]And the king was very sorry; but because of the oaths and the guests, he commanded that it be given to her.
[10]And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. [10]So he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.
[11]And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. [11]And his head was brought in on a tray, and given to the girl; and she took it to her mother.
[12]And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. [12]Then his disciples came and took up his body and buried it, and they came and informed Jesus.
[13]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. [13]When Jesus heard it, he departed thence by boat, alone to a desert place; and when the people heard of it, they followed him by land from the cities.
[14]And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. [14]And Jesus went out and saw large crowds, and he had pity for them, and healed their sick.
[15]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. [15]When it was evening, his disciples came to him, and they said to him, This is a lonely place, and it is getting late; dismiss the people so that the men may go to the villages and buy food for themselves.
[16]But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. [16]But he said to them, It is not necessary for them to go; you give them something to eat.
[17]And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. [17]They said to him, We have nothing here, except five loaves of bread and two fish.
[18]He said, Bring them hither to me. [18]Jesus said to them, Bring them here to me.
[19]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. [19]And he ordered the people to sit down on the ground, and he took the five loaves of bread and the two fish, and he looked up to heaven and he blessed them, and he broke them, and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples placed them before the people.
[20]And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. [20]So they all ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the fragments which were left over, twelve full baskets.
[21]And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. [21]And the men who ate were five thousand, not counting the women and children.
[22]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. [22]And immediately he urged his disciples to go up into the boat, in advance of him to the crossing place, while he dismissed the people.
[23]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. [23]And when he had dismissed the people, he went up to the mountain alone to pray; and when darkness fell he was still there alone.
[24]But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. [24]But the boat was many miles away from the land, tossed by the waves, for the wind was against it.
[25]And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. [25]And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the water.
[26]And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. [26]And his disciples saw him walking on the water, and they were scared, and they said, It is a false vision; and they cried out because of their fear.
[27]But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. [27]But Jesus spoke to them at once and said, Have courage; it is I; do not be afraid.
[28]And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. [28]And Peter answered and said to him, My Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.
[29]And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. [29]Jesus said to him, Come. So Peter went down from the boat, and walked on the water, to come to Jesus.
[30]But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. [30]But when he saw that the wind was severe, he was afraid, and began to sink, and he raised his voice and said, My Lord, save me.
[31]And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? [31]And our Lord immediately stretched out his hand and grasped him; and he said to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?
[32]And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. [32]And when they went up into the boat, the wind quieted down.
[33]Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. [33]And they who were in the boat came and worshipped him; and they said, Truly you are the Son of God.
[34]And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. [34]And they rowed and came to the land of Gennesaret.
[35]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; [35]And the men of that country recognized him, and they sent word to all the villages around them; so they brought to him all who were seriously sick.
[36]And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. [36]And they besought him, that they might touch even the edge of his robe; and those who touched it were healed.
