1In illo tempore audivit Herodes tetrarcha famam Jesu:In that time, Herod the Tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.
2et ait pueris suis:And he said to his servants:Hic est Joannes Baptista:“This is John the Baptist.ipse surrexit a mortuis,He has risen from the dead,et ideo virtutes operantur in eo.and that is why miracles are at work in him.”
3Herodes enim tenuit Joannem,For Herod had apprehended John,et alligavit eum:and bound him,et posuit in carcerem propter Herodiadem uxorem fratris sui.and put him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother.
4Dicebat enim illi Joannes:For John was telling him,Non licet tibi habere eam.“It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5Et volens illum occidere,And though he wanted to kill him,timuit populum:he feared the people,quia sicut prophetam eum habebant.because they held him to be a prophet.
6Die autem natalis Herodis saltavit filia Herodiadis in medio,Then, on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced in their midst,et placuit Herodi:and it pleased Herod.
7unde cum juramento pollicitus est ei dare quodcumque postulasset ab eo.And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask of him.
8At illa præmonita a matre sua:But, having been advised by her mother,Da mihi, inquit,she said, “Give me here,hic in disco caput Joannis Baptistæ.on a platter, the head of John the Baptist.”
9Et contristatus est rex:And the king was greatly saddened.propter juramentum autem,But because of his oath,et eos qui pariter recumbebant,and because of those who sat at table with him,jussit dari.he ordered it to be given.
10Misitque et decollavit Joannem in carcere.And he sent and beheaded John in prison.
11Et allatum est caput ejus in disco,And his head was brought on a platter,et datum est puellæ,and it was given to the girl,et attulit matri suæ.and she brought it to her mother.
12Et accedentes discipuli ejus,And his disciples approached and took the body,tulerunt corpus ejus,and they buried it.et sepelierunt illud:And arriving,et venientes nuntiaverunt Jesu.they reported it to Jesus.
13Quod cum audisset Jesus,When Jesus had heard it,secessit inde in navicula,he withdrew from there by boat,in locum desertum seorsum:to a deserted place by himself.et cum audissent turbæ,And when the crowds had heard of it,secutæ sunt eum pedestres de civitatibus.they followed him on foot from the cities.
14Et exiens vidit turbam multam,And going out, he saw a great multitude,et misertus est eis,and he took pity on them,et curavit languidos eorum.and he cured their sick.
15Vespere autem facto,And when evening had arrived,accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, dicentes:his disciples approached him, saying:Desertus est locus,“This is a deserted place,et hora jam præteriit:and the hour has now passed.dimitte turbas,Dismiss the crowds,ut euntes in castella,so that, by going into the towns,emant sibi escas.they may buy food for themselves.”
16Jesus autem dixit eis:But Jesus said to them:Non habent necesse ire:“They have no need to go.date illis vos manducare.Give them something to eat yourselves.”
17Responderunt ei:They answered him,Non habemus hic nisi quinque panes“We have nothing here,et duos pisces.except five loaves and two fish.”
18Qui ait eis:He said to them,Afferte mihi illos huc.“Bring them here to me.”
19Et cum jussisset turbam discumbere super fœnum,And when he had ordered the multitude to sit down upon the grass,acceptis quinque panibus et duobus piscibus,he took the five loaves and the two fish, and gazing up to heaven,aspiciens in cælum benedixit, et fregit,he blessed and broke and gave the bread to the disciples,et dedit discipulis panes, discipuli autem turbis.and then the disciples to the multitudes.
20Et manducaverunt omnes,And they all ateet saturati sunt.and were satisfied.Et tulerunt reliquias,And they took up the remnants:duodecim cophinos fragmentorum plenos.twelve baskets full of fragments.
21Manducantium autem fuit numerus quinque millia virorum,Now the number of those who ate was five thousand men,exceptis mulieribus et parvulis.besides women and children.
22Et statim compulit Jesus discipulos ascendere in naviculam,And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat,et præcedere eum trans fretum,and to precede him in crossing the sea,donec dimitteret turbas.while he dismissed the crowds.
23Et dimissa turba,And having dismissed the multitude,ascendit in montem solus orare.he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray.Vespere autem facto solus erat ibi:And when evening arrived, he was alone there.
24navicula autem in medio mari jactabatur fluctibus:But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves.erat enim contrarius ventus.For the wind was against them.
25Quarta enim vigilia noctis,Then, in the fourth watch of the night,venit ad eos ambulans super mare.he came to them, walking upon the sea.
26Et videntes eum super mare ambulantem,And seeing him walking upon the sea,turbati sunt, dicentes:they were disturbed, saying:Quia phantasma est.“It must be an apparition.”Et præ timore clamaverunt.And they cried out, because of fear.
27Statimque Jesus locutus est eis,And immediately, Jesus spoke to them,dicens:saying:Habete fiduciam:“Have faith.ego sum,It is I.nolite timere.Do not be afraid.”
28Respondens autem Petrus, dixit:Then Peter responded by saying,Domine, si tu es,“Lord, if it is you,jube me ad te venire super aquas.order me to come to you over the waters.”
29At ipse ait:And he said,Veni.“Come.”Et descendens Petrus de navicula,And Peter, descending from the boat,ambulabat super aquam ut veniret ad Jesum.walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus.
30Videns vero ventum validum,Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong,timuit: et cum cœpisset mergi,he was afraid. And as he began to sink,clamavit dicens:he cried out,Domine,saying:salvum me fac.“Lord, save me.”
31Et continuo Jesus extendens manum,And immediately Jesus extended his handapprehendit eum:and took hold of him.et ait illi:And he said to him,Modicæ fidei,“O little in faith,quare dubitasti?why did you doubt?”
32Et cum ascendissent in naviculam,And when they had ascended into the boat,cessavit ventus.the wind ceased.
33Qui autem in navicula erant,Then those who were in the boat drew nearvenerunt,and adored him,et adoraverunt eum,saying:dicentes:“Truly,Vere Filius Dei es.you are the Son of God.”
34Et cum transfretassent,And having crossed the sea,venerunt in terram Genesar.they arrived in the land of Genesaret.
35Et cum cognovissent eum viri loci illius,And when the men of that place had recognized him,miserunt in universam regionem illam,they sent into all that region,et obtulerunt ei omnes male habentes:and they brought to him all who had maladies.
36et rogabant eum ut vel fimbriam vestimenti ejus tangerent.And they petitioned him,Et quicumque tetigerunt,so that they might touch even the hem of his garment.salvi facti sunt.And as many as touched it were made whole.
