2 GLT وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلسَّبْتُ، ٱبْتَدَأَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي ٱلْمَجْمَعِ. وَكَثِيرُونَ إِذْ سَمِعُوا بُهِتُوا قَائِلِينَ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ لِهَذَا هَذِهِ؟ وَمَا هَذِهِ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ ٱلَّتِي أُعْطِيَتْ لَهُ حَتَّى تَجْرِيَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ قُوَّاتٌ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ؟ BSB BSB: When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?
4 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَيْسَ نَبِيٌّ بِلَا كَرَامَةٍ إِلَّا فِي وَطَنِهِ وَبَيْنَ أَقْرِبَائِهِ وَفِي بَيْتِهِ». BSB BSB: Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
5 GLT وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ هُنَاكَ وَلَا قُوَّةً وَاحِدَةً، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى مَرْضَى قَلِيلِينَ فَشَفَاهُمْ. BSB BSB: So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.
6 GLT وَتَعَجَّبَ مِنْ عَدَمِ إِيمَانِهِمْ. وَصَارَ يَطُوفُ ٱلْقُرَى ٱلْمُحِيطَةَ يُعَلِّمُ. BSB BSB: And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.
7 GLT وَدَعَا ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَٱبْتَدَأَ يُرْسِلُهُمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَانًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْوَاحِ ٱلنَّجِسَةِ، BSB BSB: Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
8 GLT وَأَوْصَاهُمْ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلُوا شَيْئًا لِلطَّرِيقِ غَيْرَ عَصًا فَقَطْ، لَا مِزْوَدًا وَلَا خُبْزًا وَلَا نُحَاسًا فِي ٱلْمِنْطَقَةِ. BSB BSB: He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—
9 GLT بَلْ يَكُونُوا مَشْدُودِينَ بِنِعَالٍ، وَلَا يَلْبَسُوا ثَوْبَيْنِ. BSB BSB: and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.
10 GLT وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَيْثُمَا دَخَلْتُمْ بَيْتًا فَأَقِيمُوا فِيهِ حَتَّى تَخْرُجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ. BSB BSB: And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.
11 GLT وَكُلُّ مَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُكُمْ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ لَكُمْ، فَٱخْرُجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَٱنْفُضُوا ٱلتُّرَابَ ٱلَّذِي تَحْتَ أَرْجُلِكُمْ شَهَادَةً عَلَيْهِمْ. اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: سَتَكُونُ لِأَرْضِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ حَالَةٌ أَكْثَرُ ٱحْتِمَالًا مِمَّا لِتِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ». BSB BSB: If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”
12 GLT فَخَرَجُوا وَصَارُوا يَكْرِزُونَ أَنْ يَتُوبُوا. BSB BSB: So they set out and preached that the people should repent.
13 GLT وَأَخْرَجُوا شَيَاطِينَ كَثِيرَةً، وَدَهَنُوا بِزَيْتٍ مَرْضَى كَثِيرِينَ فَشَفَوْهُمْ. BSB BSB: They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.
14 GLT فَسَمِعَ هِيرُودُسُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، لِأَنَّ ٱسْمَهُ صَارَ مَشْهُورًا. وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانَ قَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ وَلِذَلِكَ تُعْمَلُ بِهِ ٱلْقُوَّاتُ». BSB BSB: Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
15 GLT قَالَ آخَرُونَ: «إِنَّهُ إِيلِيَّا». وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: «إِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ كَأَحَدِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ». BSB BSB: Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
16 GLT وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا سَمِعَ هِيرُودُسُ قَالَ: «هَذَا هُوَ يُوحَنَّا ٱلَّذِي قَطَعْتُ أَنَا رَأْسَهُ. إِنَّهُ قَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ!». BSB BSB: But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”
17 GLT لِأَنَّ هِيرُودُسَ نَفْسَهُ كَانَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ وَأَمْسَكَ يُوحَنَّا وَأَوْثَقَهُ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ مِنْ أَجْلِ هِيرُودِيَّا ٱمْرَأَةِ فِيلُبُّسَ أَخِيهِ، إِذْ كَانَ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَ بِهَا. BSB BSB: For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.
18 GLT لِأَنَّ يُوحَنَّا كَانَ يَقُولُ لِهِيرُودُسَ: «لَا يَحِلُّ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَخِيكَ». BSB BSB: For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”
19 GLT فَحَنِقَتْ هِيرُودِيَّا عَلَيْهِ، وَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ وَلَمْ تَقْدِرْ، BSB BSB: So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,
20 GLT لِأَنَّ هِيرُودُسَ كَانَ يَهَابُ يُوحَنَّا عَالِمًا أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ بَارٌّ وَقِدِّيسٌ، وَكَانَ يَحْفَظُهُ. وَإِذْ سَمِعَهُ، فَعَلَ كَثِيرًا، وَسَمِعَهُ بِسُرُورٍ. BSB BSB: because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.
21 GLT وَإِذْ كَانَ يَوْمٌ مُوافِقٌ، لَمَّا صَنَعَ هِيرُودُسُ فِي مَوْلِدِهِ عَشَاءً لِعُظَمَائِهِ وَقُوَّادِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَوُجُوهِ ٱلْجَلِيلِ، BSB BSB: On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
22 GLT دَخَلَتِ ٱبْنَةُ هِيرُودِيَّا وَرَقَصَتْ، فَسَرَّتْ هِيرُودُسَ وَٱلْمُتَّكِئِينَ مَعَهُ. فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلصَّبِيَّةِ: «مَهْمَا أَرَدْتِ ٱطْلُبِي مِنِّي فَأُعْطِيَكِ». BSB BSB: When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”
23 GLT وَأَقْسَمَ لَهَا أَنْ: «مَهْمَا طَلَبْتِ مِنِّي لَأُعْطِيَنَّكِ حَتَّى نِصْفَ مَمْلَكَتِي». BSB BSB: And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”
24 GLT فَخَرَجَتْ وَقَالَتْ لِأُمِّهَا: «مَاذَا أَطْلُبُ؟». فَقَالَتْ: «رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ». BSB BSB: Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”
25 GLT فَدَخَلَتْ لِلْوَقْتِ بِسُرْعَةٍ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ وَطَلَبَتْ قَائِلَةً: «أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي حَالًا رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانِ عَلَى طَبَقٍ». BSB BSB: At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”
26 GLT فَحَزِنَ ٱلْمَلِكُ جِدًّا. وَلِأَجْلِ ٱلْأَقْسَامِ وَٱلْمُتَّكِئِينَ لَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَرُدَّهَا. BSB BSB: The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.
27 GLT فَلِلْوَقْتِ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سَيَّافًا وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِرَأْسِهِ. BSB BSB: So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.
28 GLT فَمَضَى وَقَطَعَ رَأْسَهُ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ. وَأَتَى بِرَأْسِهِ عَلَى طَبَقٍ وَأَعْطَاهُ لِلصَّبِيَّةِ، وَٱلصَّبِيَّةُ أَعْطَتْهُ لِأُمِّهَا. BSB BSB: The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.
29 GLT وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ تَلَامِيذُهُ، جَاءُوا وَرَفَعُوا جُثَّتَهُ وَوَضَعُوهَا فِي قَبْرٍ. BSB BSB: When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.
30 GLT وَٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلرُّسُلُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، كُلِّ مَا فَعَلُوا وَكُلِّ مَا عَلَّمُوا. BSB BSB: Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.
31 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَعَالَوْا أَنْتُمْ مُنْفَرِدِينَ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ خَلَاءٍ وَٱسْتَرِيحُوا قَلِيلًا». لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَادِمِينَ وَٱلذَّاهِبِينَ كَانُوا كَثِيرِينَ، وَلَمْ تَتَيَسَّرْ لَهُمْ فُرْصَةٌ لِلْأَكْلِ. BSB BSB: And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
32 GLT فَمَضَوْا فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ خَلَاءٍ مُنْفَرِدِينَ. BSB BSB: So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.
33 GLT فَرَآهُمُ ٱلْجُمُوعُ مُنْطَلِقِينَ، وَعَرَفَهُ كَثِيرُونَ. فَتَرَاكَضُوا إِلَى هُنَاكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُدُنِ مُشَاةً، وَسَبَقُوهُمْ وَٱجْتَمَعُوا إِلَيْهِ. BSB BSB: But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.
34 GLT فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ رَأَى جَمْعًا كَثِيرًا، فَتَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِذْ كَانُوا كَخِرَافٍ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا، فَٱبْتَدَأَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ كَثِيرًا. BSB BSB: When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.
35 GLT وَبَعْدَ سَاعَاتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلَامِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱلْمَوْضِعُ خَلَاءٌ وَٱلْوَقْتُ مَضَى. BSB BSB: By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.
36 GLT اِصْرِفْهُمْ لِكَيْ يَمْضُوا إِلَى ٱلضِّيَاعِ وَٱلْقُرَى حَوَالَيْنَا وَيَبْتَاعُوا لَهُمْ خُبْزًا، لِأَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُمْ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ». BSB BSB: Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 GLT فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَعْطُوهُمْ أَنْتُمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَنَمْضِي وَنَبْتَاعُ خُبْزًا بِمِئَتَيْ دِينَارٍ وَنُعْطِيَهُمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا؟». BSB BSB: But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”
38 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كَمْ رَغِيفًا عِنْدَكُمُ؟ ٱذْهَبُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا». وَلَمَّا عَلِمُوا قَالُوا: «خَمْسَةٌ وَسَمَكَتَانِ». BSB BSB: “Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”
39 GLT فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوا ٱلْجَمِيعَ يَتَّكِئُونَ رِفَاقًا رِفَاقًا عَلَى ٱلْعُشْبِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ. BSB BSB: Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.
40 GLT فَاتَّكَأُوا صُفُوفًا صُفُوفًا: مِئَةً مِئَةً وَخَمْسِينَ خَمْسِينَ. BSB BSB: So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41 GLT فَأَخَذَ ٱلْأَرْغِفَةَ ٱلْخَمْسَةَ وَٱلسَّمَكَتَيْنِ، وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَبَارَكَ ثُمَّ كَسَّرَ ٱلْأَرْغِفَةَ، وَأَعْطَى تَلَامِيذَهُ لِيُقَدِّمُوا إِلَيْهِمْ، وَقَسَّمَ ٱلسَّمَكَتَيْنِ لِلْجَمِيعِ، BSB BSB: Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.
42 GLT فَأَكَلَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ وَشَبِعُوا. BSB BSB: They all ate and were satisfied,
43 GLT ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا مِنَ ٱلْكِسَرِ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ قُفَّةً مَمْلُوَّةً، وَمِنَ ٱلسَّمَكِ. BSB BSB: and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
44 GLT وَكَانَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَكَلُوا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْغِفَةِ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ. BSB BSB: And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.
46 GLT وَبَعْدَمَا وَدَّعَهُمْ مَضَى إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَ. BSB BSB: After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.
47 GLT وَلَمَّا صَارَ ٱلْمَسَاءُ كَانَتِ ٱلسَّفِينَةُ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَهُوَ عَلَى ٱلْبَرِّ وَحْدَهُ. BSB BSB: When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.
48 GLT وَرَآهُمْ مُعَذَّبِينَ فِي ٱلْجَذْفِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرِّيحَ كَانَتْ ضِدَّهُمْ. وَنَحْوَ ٱلْهَزِيعِ ٱلرَّابِعِ مِنَ ٱللَّيْلِ أَتَاهُمْ مَاشِيًا عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَهُمْ. BSB BSB: He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,
49 GLT فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ مَاشِيًا عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ ظَنُّوهُ خَيَالًا، فَصَرَخُوا. BSB BSB: but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—
50 GLT لِأَنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ رَأَوْهُ وَٱضْطَرَبُوا. فَلِلْوَقْتِ كَلَّمَهُمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «ثِقُوا! أَنَا هُوَ. لَا تَخَافُوا». BSB BSB: for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
51 GLT فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِمْ إِلَى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ فَسَكَنَتِ ٱلرِّيحُ، فَبُهِتُوا وَتَعَجَّبُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ جِدًّا إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ، BSB BSB: Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,
52 GLT لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا بِٱلْأَرْغِفَةِ إِذْ كَانَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ غَلِيظَةً. BSB BSB: for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.
53 GLT فَلَمَّا عَبَرُوا جَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ جَنِّيسَارَتَ وَأَرْسَوْا. BSB BSB: When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.
54 GLT وَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ لِلْوَقْتِ عَرَفُوهُ. BSB BSB: As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus
55 GLT فَطَافُوا جَمِيعَ تِلْكَ ٱلْكُورَةِ ٱلْمُحِيطَةِ، وَٱبْتَدَأُوا يَحْمِلُونَ ٱلْمَرْضَى عَلَى أَسِرَّةٍ إِلَى حَيْثُ سَمِعُوا أَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ. BSB BSB: and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.
56 GLT وَحَيْثُمَا دَخَلَ إِلَى قُرىً أَوْ مُدُنٍ أَوْ ضِيَاعٍ، وَضَعُوا ٱلْمَرْضَى فِي ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ، وَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَلْمِسُوا وَلَوْ هُدْبَ ثَوْبِهِ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ لَمَسَهُ شُفِيَ. BSB BSB: And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
