Mt 14 (Catholique Crampon)

¹ En ce temps-là, Hérode le tétrarque apprit ce qui se publiait de Jésus,
² et il dit à ses courtisans : "c'est Jean-Baptise ! Il est ressuscité des morts : voilà pourquoi le pouvoir thaumaturgique agit en lui."
³ Hérode, en effet, ayant fait arrêter Jean, l'avait chargé de chaînes et jeté en prison, à cause d'Hérodiade, la femme de son frère Philippe,
⁴ car Jean lui disait : "il ne t'est pas permis de l'avoir (pour femme)."
⁵ Volontiers il l'eût fait mourir, mais il craignait le peuple, qui le regardait comme un prophète.
⁶ Or, au jour anniversaire de la naissance d'Hérode, la fille d'Hérodiade dansa devant (les convives) et plut à Hérode,
⁷ qui promit avec serment de lui donner ce qu'elle demanderait.
⁸ Elle, à l'instigation de sa mère : "donne-moi, dit-elle, ici, sur un plateau, la tête de Jean le Baptiste."
⁹ Le roi fut contristé ; mais, à cause des serments et des convives, il commanda qu'on la (lui) donnât.
¹⁰ et il envoya décapiter Jean dans la prison.
¹¹ Et la tête, apportée sur un plateau, fut donnée à la jeune fille, qui la porta à sa mère.
¹² Ses disciples vinrent prendre le corps et lui donnèrent la sépulture ; puis, ils allèrent informer Jésus.
¹³ Jésus, l'ayant appris, partit de là dans une barque vers un endroit désert, à l'écart ; les foules, l'ayant su, le suivirent à pied des villes.
¹⁴ Quand il débarqua, il vit une grande foule ; il en eut compassion, et il guérit leurs malades.
¹⁵ Le soir venu, les disciples s'approchèrent de lui, disant : "le lieu est désert, et déjà l'heure est avancée ; renvoyez [donc] les foules, afin qu'ils aillent dans les bourgs s'acheter des vivres."
¹⁶ Mais Jésus leur dit : "Ils n'ont pas besoin de s'en aller ; donnez-leur vous-mêmes à manger."
¹⁷ Ils lui dirent : "nous n'avons ici que cinq pains et deux poissons."
¹⁸ "Apportes-les-moi, ici," dit-il.
¹⁹ Après avoir fait asseoir les foules sur l'herbe, il prit les cinq pains et les deux poissons, leva les yeux au ciel, prononça la bénédiction, rompit les pains et les donna aux disciples, et les disciples les donnèrent aux foules.
²⁰ Tous mangèrent et furent rassasiés, et l'on emporta douze corbeilles pleines des morceaux qui restèrent.
²¹ Or ceux qui avaient mangé étaient environ cinq mille hommes, sans les femmes et les enfants.
²² Aussitôt il obligea les disciples à monter dans la barque et à passer avant lui sur l'autre rive pendant qu'il renverrait les foules.
²³ Quand il eut renvoyé les foules, il monta dans la montagne pour prier à l'écart ; et, le soir étant venu, il était là seul.
²⁴ Or, la barque était déjà à plusieurs stades de la terre, battue par les vagues, car le vent était contraire.
²⁵ A la quatrième veille de la nuit, il vint vers eux en marchant sur la mer.
²⁶ Les disciples, le voyant marcher sur la mer, furent troublés et dirent : C'est un fantôme !" et ils poussèrent des cris de frayeur.
²⁷ Aussitôt Jésus parla, leur disant : "prenez confiance, c'est moi, ne craignez point. "
²⁸ Pierre prenant la parole : "Seigneur, dit-il, si c'est vous, ordonnez que j'aille à vous sur les eaux."
²⁹ Il lui dit : "Viens !" et Pierre, étant sorti de la barque, marcha sur les eaux pour aller à Jésus.
³⁰ Mais, voyant la violence du vent, il eut peur, et comme il commençait à enfoncer, il s'écria : "Seigneur, sauvez-moi !"
³¹ Aussitôt Jésus étendit la main, le saisit et lui dit : " Homme de peu de foi, pourquoi as-tu douté ?"
³² Et lorsqu'ils furent montés dans la barque, le vent tomba.
³³ Alors ceux qui étaient dans la barque se prosternèrent devant lui, disant : "Vous êtes vraiment le Fils de Dieu."
³⁴ Ayant traversé, ils abordèrent à Génésareth.
³⁵ Les gens de cet endroit, l'ayant reconnu, envoyèrent dans tous les environs, et on lui amena tous les malades.
³⁶ Et ils le priaient de leur laisser seulement toucher la houppe de son manteau, et tous ceux qui touchèrent furent guéris.

Mt 14 (King James)

¹ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
² And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
³ For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
⁴ For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
⁵ And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
⁶ But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
⁷ Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
⁸ And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
⁹ And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
¹⁰ And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
¹¹ And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
¹² And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
¹³ When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
¹⁴ And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
¹⁵ And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
¹⁶ But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
¹⁷ And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
¹⁸ He said, Bring them hither to me.
¹⁹ And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
²⁰ And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
²¹ And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
²² And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
²³ And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
²⁴ But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
²⁵ And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
²⁶ And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
²⁷ But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
²⁸ And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
²⁹ And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
³⁰ But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
³¹ And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
³² And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
³³ Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
³⁴ And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
³⁵ And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
³⁶ And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
