1 A nd he went forth thence, and came to his own country, and his disciples do follow him,

Jesus saiu dali e foi para a sua cidade, acompanhado dos seus discípulos.

2 a nd sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, `Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?

Quando chegou o sábado, começou a ensinar na sinagoga, e muitos dos que o ouviam ficavam admirados. “De onde lhe vêm estas coisas?”, perguntavam eles. “Que sabedoria é esta que lhe foi dada? E estes milagres que ele faz?

3 I s not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?' -- and they were being stumbled at him.

Não é este o carpinteiro, filho de Maria e irmão de Tiago, José, Judas e Simão? Não estão aqui conosco as suas irmãs?” E ficavam escandalizados por causa dele.

4 A nd Jesus said to them -- `A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;'

Jesus lhes disse: “Só em sua própria terra, entre seus parentes e em sua própria casa, é que um profeta não tem honra”.

5 a nd he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal;

E não pôde fazer ali nenhum milagre, exceto impor as mãos sobre alguns doentes e curá-los.

6 a nd he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,

E ficou admirado com a incredulidade deles. Jesus Envia os Doze Então Jesus passou a percorrer os povoados, ensinando.

7 a nd he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits,

Chamando os Doze para junto de si, enviou-os de dois em dois e deu-lhes autoridade sobre os espíritos imundos.

8 a nd he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only -- no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle,

Estas foram as suas instruções: “Não levem nada pelo caminho, a não ser um bordão. Não levem pão, nem saco de viagem, nem dinheiro em seus cintos;

9 b ut having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.

calcem sandálias, mas não levem túnica extra;

10 A nd he said to them, `Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,

sempre que entrarem numa casa, fiquem ali até partirem;

11 a nd as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.'

e, se algum povoado não os receber nem os ouvir, sacudam a poeira dos seus pés quando saírem de lá, como testemunho contra eles”.

12 A nd having gone forth they were preaching that might reform,

Eles saíram e pregaram ao povo que se arrependesse.

13 a nd many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing.

Expulsavam muitos demônios e ungiam muitos doentes com óleo, e os curavam. João Batista é Decapitado

14 A nd the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.'

O rei Herodes ouviu falar dessas coisas, pois o nome de Jesus havia se tornado bem conhecido. Algumas pessoas estavam dizendo: “João Batista ressuscitou dos mortos! Por isso estão operando nele poderes miraculosos”.

15 O thers said -- `It is Elijah,' and others said -- `It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.'

Outros diziam: “Ele é Elias”. E ainda outros afirmavam: “Ele é um profeta, como um dos antigos profetas”.

16 A nd Herod having heard, said -- `He whom I did behead -- John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.'

Mas quando Herodes ouviu essas coisas, disse: “João, o homem a quem decapitei, ressuscitou dos mortos!”

17 F or Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,

Pois o próprio Herodes tinha dado ordens para que prendessem João, o amarrassem e o colocassem na prisão, por causa de Herodias, mulher de Filipe, seu irmão, com a qual se casara.

18 f or John said to Herod -- `It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;'

Porquanto João dizia a Herodes: “Não te é permitido viver com a mulher do teu irmão”.

19 a nd Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,

Assim, Herodias o odiava e queria matá-lo. Mas não podia fazê-lo,

20 f or Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.

porque Herodes temia João e o protegia, sabendo que ele era um homem justo e santo; e quando o ouvia, ficava perplexo. Mesmo assim gostava de ouvi-lo.

21 A nd a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,

Finalmente Herodias teve uma ocasião oportuna. No seu aniversário, Herodes ofereceu um banquete aos seus líderes mais importantes, aos comandantes militares e às principais personalidades da Galiléia.

22 a nd the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, `Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,'

Quando a filha de Herodias entrou e dançou, agradou a Herodes e aos convidados. O rei disse à jovem: “Peça-me qualquer coisa que você quiser, e eu lhe darei”.

23 a nd he sware to her -- `Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will give to thee -- unto the half of my kingdom.'

E prometeu-lhe sob juramento: “Seja o que for que me pedir, eu lhe darei, até a metade do meu reino”.

24 A nd she, having gone forth, said to her mother, `What shall I ask for myself?' and she said, `The head of John the Baptist;'

Ela saiu e disse à sua mãe: “Que pedirei?” “A cabeça de João Batista”, respondeu ela.

25 a nd having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, `I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.'

Imediatamente a jovem apressou-se em apresentar-se ao rei com o pedido: “Desejo que me dês agora mesmo a cabeça de João Batista num prato”.

26 A nd the king -- made very sorrowful -- because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,

O rei ficou aflito, mas, por causa do seu juramento e dos convidados, não quis negar o pedido à jovem.

27 a nd immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did command his head to be brought,

Enviou, pois, imediatamente um carrasco com ordens para trazer a cabeça de João. O homem foi, decapitou João na prisão

28 a nd he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the damsel did give it to her mother;

e trouxe sua cabeça num prato. Ele a entregou à jovem, e esta a deu à sua mãe.

29 a nd having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.

Tendo ouvido isso, os discípulos de João vieram, levaram o seu corpo e o colocaram num túmulo. A Primeira Multiplicação dos Pães

30 A nd the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,

Os apóstolos reuniram-se a Jesus e lhe relataram tudo o que tinham feito e ensinado.

31 a nd he said to them, `Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,' for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,

Havia muita gente indo e vindo, ao ponto de eles não terem tempo para comer. Jesus lhes disse: “Venham comigo para um lugar deserto e descansem um pouco”.

32 a nd they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves.

Então eles se afastaram num barco para um lugar deserto.

33 A nd the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him,

Mas muitos dos que os viram retirar-se, tendo-os reconhecido, correram a pé de todas as cidades e chegaram lá antes deles.

34 a nd having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.

Quando Jesus saiu do barco e viu uma grande multidão, teve compaixão deles, porque eram como ovelhas sem pastor. Então começou a ensinar-lhes muitas coisas.

35 A nd now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, -- `The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,

Já era tarde e, por isso, os seus discípulos aproximaram-se dele e disseram: “Este é um lugar deserto, e já é tarde.

36 l et them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.'

Manda embora o povo para que possa ir aos campos e povoados vizinhos comprar algo para comer”.

37 A nd he answering said to them, `Give ye them to eat,' and they say to him, `Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries' worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?'

Ele, porém, respondeu: “Dêem-lhes vocês algo para comer”. Eles lhe disseram: “Isto exigiria duzentos denários! Devemos gastar tanto dinheiro em pão e dar-lhes de comer?”

38 A nd he saith to them, `How many loaves have ye? go and see;' and having known, they say, `Five, and two fishes.'

Perguntou ele: “Quantos pães vocês têm? Verifiquem”. Quando ficaram sabendo, disseram: “Cinco pães e dois peixes”.

39 A nd he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass,

Então Jesus ordenou que fizessem todo o povo assentar-se em grupos na grama verde.

40 a nd they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.

Assim, eles se assentaram em grupos de cem e de cinqüenta.

41 A nd having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all,

Tomando os cinco pães e os dois peixes e, olhando para o céu, deu graças e partiu os pães. Em seguida, entregou-os aos seus discípulos para que os servissem ao povo. E também dividiu os dois peixes entre todos eles.

42 a nd they did all eat, and were filled,

Todos comeram e ficaram satisfeitos,

43 a nd they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,

e os discípulos recolheram doze cestos cheios de pedaços de pão e de peixe.

44 a nd those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.

Os que comeram foram cinco mil homens. Jesus Anda sobre as Águas

45 A nd immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away,

Logo em seguida, Jesus insistiu com os discípulos para que entrassem no barco e fossem adiante dele para Betsaida, enquanto ele despedia a multidão.

46 a nd having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray.

Tendo-a despedido, subiu a um monte para orar.

47 A nd evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land;

Ao anoitecer, o barco estava no meio do mar, e Jesus se achava sozinho em terra.

48 a nd he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.

Ele viu os discípulos remando com dificuldade, porque o vento soprava contra eles. Alta madrugada, Jesus dirigiu-se a eles, andando sobre o mar; e estava já a ponto de passar por eles.

49 A nd they having seen him walking on the sea, thought to be an apparition, and cried out,

Quando o viram andando sobre o mar, pensaram que fosse um fantasma. Então gritaram,

50 f or they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, `Take courage, I am, be not afraid.'

pois todos o tinham visto e ficaram aterrorizados. Mas Jesus imediatamente lhes disse: “Coragem! Sou eu! Não tenham medo!”

51 A nd he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,

Então subiu no barco para junto deles, e o vento se acalmou; e eles ficaram atônitos,

52 f or they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard.

pois não tinham entendido o milagre dos pães. O coração deles estava endurecido.

53 A nd having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,

Depois de atravessarem o mar, chegaram a Genesaré e ali amarraram o barco.

54 a nd they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him,

Logo que desembarcaram, o povo reconheceu Jesus.

55 h aving run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

Eles percorriam toda aquela região e levavam os doentes em macas, para onde ouviam que ele estava.

56 a nd wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.

E aonde quer que ele fosse, povoados, cidades ou campos, levavam os doentes para as praças. Suplicavam-lhe que pudessem pelo menos tocar na borda do seu manto; e todos os que nele tocavam eram curados.
