1 A t that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

Naquele tempo Herodes, o tetrarca, ouviu a fama de Jesus,

2 a nd said to his servants, This is John the baptist: he is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force in him.

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

3 F or Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.

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

4 F or John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

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

5 A nd desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet.

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

6 B ut when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod;

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

7 w hereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.

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

8 B ut she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

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

9 A nd the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with, he commanded to be given.

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

10 A nd he sent and beheaded John in the prison;

e mandou degolar a João no cárcere;

11 a nd his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried to her mother.

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

12 A nd his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus.

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

13 A nd Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard followed him on foot from the cities.

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

14 A nd going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.

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

15 B ut when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and the time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

Chegada a tarde, aproximaram-se dele os discípulos, dizendo: O lugar é deserto, e a hora é já passada; despede as multidões, para que vão

16 B ut Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give ye them to eat.

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

17 B ut they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.

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

18 A nd he said, Bring them here to me.

E ele disse: trazei-mos aqui.

19 A nd having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.

Tendo mandado

20 A nd all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.

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

21 B ut those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

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

22 A nd immediately he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds.

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

23 A nd having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,

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

24 b ut the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

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

25 B ut in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea.

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

26 A nd the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.

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

27 B ut Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is I: be not afraid.

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

28 A nd Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come to thee upon the waters.

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

29 A nd he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.

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

30 B ut seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.

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

31 A nd immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

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

32 A nd when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.

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

33 B ut those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son.

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

34 A nd having crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret.

Ora, terminada a travessia, chegaram ã terra em Genezaré.

35 A nd when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill,

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

36 a nd besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.

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