¹At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

¹På den Tid hørte Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes Rygtet om Jesus.

²and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”

²Og han sagde til sine Tjenere: "Det er Johannes Døberen; han er oprejst fra de døde, derfor virke Kræfterne i ham."

³For Herod had laid hold of John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

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

⁴For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

⁴Johannes sagde nemlig til ham: "Det er dig ikke tilladt at have hende."

⁵When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

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

⁶But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.

⁶Men da Herodes's Fødselsdag kom, dansede Herodias's Datter for dem; og hun behagede Herodes.

⁷Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.

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

⁸She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”

⁸Og tilskyndet af sin Moder siger hun: "Giv mig Johannes Døberens Hoved hid på et Fad!"

⁹The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,

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

¹⁰and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

¹⁰Og han sendte Bud og lod Johannes halshugge i Fængselet.

¹¹His head was brought on a platter, and given to the young lady: and she brought it to her mother.

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

¹²His disciples came, and took the body, and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.

¹²Da kom hans Disciple og toge Liget og begravede ham, og de kom og forkyndte Jesus det.

¹³Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

¹³Og 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.

¹⁴Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

¹⁴Og da han kom i Land, så han en stor Skare, og han ynkedes inderligt over dem og helbredte deres syge.

¹⁵When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.”

¹⁵Men 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."

¹⁶But Jesus said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

¹⁶Men Jesus sagde til dem: "De have ikke nødig at gå bort; giver I dem at spise!"

¹⁷They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”

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

¹⁸He said, “Bring them here to me.”

¹⁸Men han sagde: "Henter mig dem hid!"

¹⁹He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

¹⁹Og 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.

²⁰They all ate, and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.

²⁰Og de spiste alle og bleve mætte; og de opsamlede det, som blev tilovers af Stykkerne, tolv Kurve fulde

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

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

²²Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

²²Og straks nødte han sine Disciple til at gå om Bord i Skibet og i Forvejen sætte over til hin Side, medens han lod Skarerne gå bort.

²³After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.

²³Og 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.

²⁴But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

²⁴Men Skibet var allerede midt på Søen og led Nød af Bølgerne; thi Vinden var imod.

²⁵In the fourth watch of the night, The night was equally divided into four watches, so the fourth watch is approximately 3:00 A. M. to sunrise. Jesus came to them, walking on the sea. see Job 9:8

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

²⁶When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.

²⁶Og da Disciplene så ham vandre på Søen, bleve de forfærdede og sagde: "Det er et Spøgelse;" og de skrege af Frygt.

²⁷But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying “Cheer up! It is I! or, I AM! Don’t be afraid.”

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

²⁸Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”

²⁸Men Peter svarede ham og sagde: "Herre! dersom det er dig, da byd mig at komme til dig på Vandet!"

²⁹He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.

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

³⁰But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

³⁰Men da han så det stærke Vejr, blev han bange; og da han begyndte at synke, råbte han og sagde: "Herre, frels mig!"

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

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

³²When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

³²Og da de stege op i Skibet, lagde Vinden sig.

³³Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”

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

³⁴When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

³⁴Og da de vare farne over, landede de i Genezareth.

³⁵When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick,

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

³⁶and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe or, tassel of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

³⁶Og de bade ham, at de blot måtte røre ved Fligen af hans Klædebon; og alle de, som rørte derved, bleve helbredede.
