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

¹Naquele tempo Herodes, o tetrarca, ouviu a fama de 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.”

²e disse aos seus cortesãos: Este é João, o Batista; ele ressuscitou dentre os mortos, e por isso estes poderes milagrosos operam nele.

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.

³Pois Herodes havia prendido a João, e, maniatando-o, o guardara no cárcere, por causa de Herodias, mulher de seu irmão Felipe;

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

⁴porque João lhe dizia: Não te é lícito possuí-la.

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

⁵E queria matá-lo, mas temia o povo; porque o tinham como profeta.

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

⁶Festejando-se, porém, o dia natalício de Herodes, a filha de Herodias dançou no meio dos convivas, e agradou a Herodes,

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

⁷pelo que este prometeu com juramento dar-lhe tudo o que pedisse.

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

⁸E instigada por sua mãe, disse ela: Dá-me aqui num prato a cabeça de João, o Batista.

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,

⁹Entristeceu-se, então, o rei; mas, por causa do juramento, e dos que estavam � mesa com ele, ordenou que se lhe desse,

¹⁰and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

¹⁰e mandou degolar a João no cárcere;

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

¹¹e a cabeça foi trazida num prato, e dada � jovem, e ela a levou para a sua mãe.

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

¹²Então vieram os seus discípulos, levaram o corpo e o sepultaram; e foram anunciá-lo a Jesus.

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.

¹³Jesus, ouvindo isto, retirou-se dali num barco, para um, lugar deserto, � parte; e quando as multidões o souberam, seguiram-no a pé desde as cidades.

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

¹⁴E ele, ao desembarcar, viu uma grande multidão; e, compadecendo-se dela, curou os seus enfermos.

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.”

¹⁵Chegada a tarde, aproximaram-se dele os discípulos, dizendo: O lugar é deserto, e a hora é já passada; despede as multidões, para que vão �s aldeias, e comprem o que comer.

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

¹⁶Jesus, porém, lhes disse: Não precisam ir embora; dai-lhes vós de comer.

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

¹⁷Então eles lhe disseram: Não temos aqui senão cinco pães e dois peixes.

¹⁸He said, “Bring them here to me.”

¹⁸E ele disse: trazei-mos aqui.

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.

¹⁹Tendo mandado �s multidões que se reclinassem sobre a relva, tomou os cinco pães e os dois peixes e, erguendo os olhos ao céu, os abençoou; e partindo os pães, deu-os aos discípulos, e os discípulos �s multidões.

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

²⁰Todos comeram e se fartaram; e dos pedaços que sobejaram levantaram doze cestos cheios.

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

²¹Ora, os que comeram foram cerca de cinco mil homens, além de mulheres e crianças.

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.

²²Logo em seguida obrigou os seus discípulos a entrar no barco, e passar adiante dele para o outro lado, enquanto ele despedia as multidões.

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.

²³Tendo-as despedido, subiu ao monte para orar � parte. Ao anoitecer, estava ali sozinho.

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

²⁴Entrementes, o barco já estava a muitos estádios da terra, açoitado pelas ondas; porque o vento era contrário.

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

²⁵Â quarta vigília da noite, foi Jesus ter com eles, andando sobre o mar.

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

²⁶Os discípulos, porém, ao vê-lo andando sobre o mar, assustaram-se e disseram: É um fantasma. E gritaram de medo.

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

²⁷Jesus, porém, imediatamente lhes falou, dizendo: Tende ânimo; sou eu; não temais.

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

²⁸Respondeu-lhe Pedro: Senhor! se és tu, manda-me ir ter contigo sobre as águas.

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

²⁹Disse-lhe ele: Vem. Pedro, descendo do barco, e andando sobre as águas, foi ao encontro de Jesus.

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

³⁰Mas, sentindo o vento, teve medo; e, começando a submergir, clamou: Senhor, salva-me.

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

³¹Imediatamente estendeu Jesus a mão, segurou-o, e disse-lhe: Homem de pouca fé, por que duvidaste?

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

³²E logo que subiram para o barco, o vento cessou.

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

³³Então os que estavam no barco adoraram-no, dizendo: Verdadeiramente tu és Filho de Deus.

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

³⁴Ora, terminada a travessia, chegaram � terra em Genezaré.

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

³⁵Quando os homens daquele lugar o reconheceram, mandaram por toda aquela circunvizinhança, e trouxeram-lhe todos os enfermos;

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

³⁶e rogaram-lhe que apenas os deixasse tocar a orla do seu manto; e todos os que a tocaram ficaram curados.
