14  I taua wa ka rongo a Herora te tetaraki ki te rongo o Ihu,

A ka mea ki ana pononga, Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri tenei; kua ara mai ia i te hunga mate; a na reira i mahi ai nga merekara i roto i a ia.

I hopukia hoki a Hoani e Herora, a hereherea ana e ia, a maka ana ki te whare herehere, he mea hoki na Heroriaha, na te wahine a tona tuakana, a Piripi.

I mea hoki a Hoani ki a ia, E kore e tika kia riro ia i a koe.

A, i a ia e mea ana ki te whakamate i a ia, ka wehi i te mano; ki ta ratou hoki he poropiti ia.

Otira i te taenga ki te ra whanau o Herora, ka kanikani te tamahine a Heroriaha i waenganui i a ratou, a ka ahuareka a Herora.

Katahi ia ka mea ki a ia, oati rawa, kia hoatu ki a ia tana mea e tono ai.

Na, he mea whakakiki ia na tona whaea, ka mea, Homai ki konei ki ahau i runga i te rihi te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri.

Heoi ka pouri te kingi: otiia i whakaaro ia ki te oati, ki te hunga hoki e noho tahi ana me ia, a ka mea kia hoatu.

10 Na ka tono tangata ia, a poutoa ana te matenga o Hoani i roto i te whare herehere.

11 A i mauria tona matenga i runga i te rihi, i hoatu ki te kotiro: kawea atu ana e ia ki tona whaea.

12 Na ka haere ana akonga, ka tango i te tinana, a tanumia ana e ratou, a haere ana, korero ana ki a Ihu.

13 Na, i te rongonga o Ihu, ka haere atu ia i reira ra te kaipuke ki te koraha, ki te wahi motu ke: a, no ka rongo te mano, ka aru i a ia ra uta i roto i nga pa.

14 A ka puta atu a Ihu, ka kite i te huihuinga nui, ka aroha ia ki a ratou, a whakaorangia ana e ia o ratou turoro.

15 A, no ka ahiahi, ka haere atu ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, He wahi koraha tenei, kua heke noa atu te ra; tonoa atu te mano, kia haere ai ratou ki nga kainga ki te hoko kai ma ratou.

16 Ano ra ko Ihu ki a ratou, Kahore he mea e haere ai ratou; ma koutou e hoatu he kai ma ratou.

17 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Heoi ano a matou i konei, e rima nga taro, e rua hoki nga ika.

18 Na ka mea ia, Mauria mai ki konei ki ahau.

19 Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki runga i te tarutaru, ka mau i nga taro e rima, i nga ika hoki e rua, ka titiro ki runga ki te rangi, ka whakapai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana e ia nga taro ki nga akonga, a na nga akonga ki te mano.

20 A kai katoa ana ratou, a ka makona: a kotahi tekau ma rua nga kete i kohia ake e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga i toe.

21 Ko te hunga i kai ra me te mea e rima mano nga tane, haunga nga wahine me nga tamariki.

22 Na akiaki tonu a Ihu i ana akonga kia eke ki te kaipuke, kia whakawhiti i mua i a ia ki tawahi, i a ia e tuku ana i nga mano kia haere.

23 A, ka oti te mano te tuku, ka kake ia ki runga ki te maunga ki te wahi motu ke ki te inoi: na kua ahiahi, a ko ia anake i reira.

24 Na, tera te kaipuke te akina ra e te ngaru i waenga moana: i he hoki te hau.

25 A i te wha o nga mataaratanga o te po ka haere a Ihu ki a ratou, i haere maori i runga i te moana.

26 A, i te kitenga o nga akonga i a ia e haere ana i runga i te moana, ka ihiihi, ka mea, He wairua; ka aue i te wehi.

27 Na kua hohoro te korero a Ihu ki a ratou, te mea, Kia manawanui, ko ahau tenei; aua e wehi.

28 Na ka whakahoki a Pita ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, ki te mea ko koe tena, kiia mai ahau kia haere atu ki a koe i runga i te wai.

29 Na ka mea ia, Haere mai. A ka marere atu a Pita i te kaipuke, ka haere i runga i te wai, kia tae ai ki a Ihu.

30 Otira ka kite ia i te hau e kaha ana, ka wehi; a ka timata te totohu, ka karanga ake, ka mea, Ahau, e te Ariki, whakaorangia.

31 Hohoro tonu te totoro o te ringa o Ihu, ka hopu i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E te tangata whakapono iti, he aha koe i ngakau rua ai?

32 Ano ka eke raua ki te kaipuke, mutu pu te hau.

33 Na ka haere mai te hunga i runga i te kaipuke, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, He pono ko te Tama koe a te Atua.

34 A, i to ratou whitinga atu, ka tae ki te whenua o Kenehareta.

35 A, ka mohio nga tangata o taua wahi ki a ia, ka tono tangata puta noa i nga wahi tutata katoa o reira, hei kawe mai i nga turoro katoa ki a ia;

36 Ka inoi ki a ia kia pa kau ratou ki te taniko o tona kakahu; a ora ake nga tangata katoa i pa.

John the Baptist Beheaded(A)

14 At that time Herod(B) the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus,(C) and he said to his attendants, “This is John the Baptist;(D) he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison(E) because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,(F) for John had been saying to him: “It is not lawful for you to have her.”(G) Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet.(H)

On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted 10 and had John beheaded(I) in the prison. 11 His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. 12 John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it.(J) Then they went and told Jesus.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(K)(L)

13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them(M) and healed their sick.(N)

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves(O) of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.(P) Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Jesus Walks on the Water(Q)(R)

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.(S) Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,”(T) they said, and cried out in fear.

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage!(U) It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(V)

28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

29 “Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,”(W) he said, “why did you doubt?”

32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”(X)

34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him 36 and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak,(Y) and all who touched it were healed.
