Jesus Is Rejected at Nazareth
(Matthew 13.53-58Luke 4.16-30)1 Jesus left that place and went back to his hometown, followed by his disciples. 2 On the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue. Many people were there; and when they heard him, they were all amazed. “Where did he get all this?” they asked. “What wisdom is this that has been given him? How does he perform miracles? 3 Isn't he the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Aren't his sisters living here?” And so they rejected him.
4 Jesus said to them, “Prophets are respected everywhere except in their own hometown and by their relatives and their family.”
5 He was not able to perform any miracles there, except that he placed his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 He was greatly surprised, because the people did not have faith.
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Disciples
(Matthew 10.5-15Luke 9.1-6)Then Jesus went to the villages around there, teaching the people. 7 He called the twelve disciples together and sent them out two by two. He gave them authority over the evil spirits 8 and ordered them, “Don't take anything with you on the trip except a walking stick—no bread, no beggar's bag, no money in your pockets. 9 Wear sandals, but don't carry an extra shirt.” 10 He also told them, “Wherever you are welcomed, stay in the same house until you leave that place. 11 If you come to a town where people do not welcome you or will not listen to you, leave it and shake the dust off your feet. That will be a warning to them!”
12 So they went out and preached that people should turn away from their sins. 13 They drove out many demons, and rubbed olive oil on many sick people and healed them.
The Death of John the Baptist
(Matthew 14.1-12Luke 9.7-9)14 Now King Herod heard about all this, because Jesus' reputation had spread everywhere. Some people were saying, “John the Baptist has come back to life! That is why he has this power to perform miracles.”
15 Others, however, said, “He is Elijah.”
Others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago.”
16 When Herod heard it, he said, “He is John the Baptist! I had his head cut off, but he has come back to life!” 17 Herod himself had ordered John's arrest, and he had him tied up and put in prison. Herod did this because of Herodias, whom he had married, even though she was the wife of his brother Philip. 18 John the Baptist kept telling Herod, “It isn't right for you to marry your brother's wife!”
19 So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him, but she could not because of Herod. 20 Herod was afraid of John because he knew that John was a good and holy man, and so he kept him safe. He liked to listen to him, even though he became greatly disturbed every time he heard him.
21 Finally Herodias got her chance. It was on Herod's birthday, when he gave a feast for all the top government officials, the military chiefs, and the leading citizens of Galilee. 22 The daughter of Herodias came in and danced, and pleased Herod and his guests. So the king said to the girl, “What would you like to have? I will give you anything you want.” 23 With many vows he said to her, “I swear that I will give you anything you ask for, even as much as half my kingdom!”
24 So the girl went out and asked her mother, “What shall I ask for?”
“The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.
25 The girl hurried back at once to the king and demanded, “I want you to give me here and now the head of John the Baptist on a plate!”
26 This made the king very sad, but he could not refuse her because of the vows he had made in front of all his guests. 27 So he sent off a guard at once with orders to bring John's head. The guard left, went to the prison, and cut John's head off; 28 then he brought it on a plate and gave it to the girl, who gave it to her mother. 29 When John's disciples heard about this, they came and got his body, and buried it.
Jesus Feeds Five Thousand
(Matthew 14.13-21Luke 9.10-17John 6.1-14)30 The apostles returned and met with Jesus, and told him all they had done and taught. 31 There were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his disciples didn't even have time to eat. So he said to them, “Let us go off by ourselves to some place where we will be alone and you can rest a while.” 32 So they started out in a boat by themselves to a lonely place.
33 Many people, however, saw them leave and knew at once who they were; so they went from all the towns and ran ahead by land and arrived at the place ahead of Jesus and his disciples. 34 When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw this large crowd, and his heart was filled with pity for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them many things. 35 When it was getting late, his disciples came to him and said, “It is already very late, and this is a lonely place. 36 Send the people away, and let them go to the nearby farms and villages in order to buy themselves something to eat.”
37 “You yourselves give them something to eat,” Jesus answered.
They asked, “Do you want us to go and spend two hundred silver coins on bread in order to feed them?”
38 So Jesus asked them, “How much bread do you have? Go and see.”
When they found out, they told him, “Five loaves and also two fish.”
39 Jesus then told his disciples to make all the people divide into groups and sit down on the green grass. 40 So the people sat down in rows, in groups of a hundred and groups of fifty. 41 Then Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, and gave thanks to God. He broke the loaves and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 Everyone ate and had enough. 43 Then the disciples took up twelve baskets full of what was left of the bread and the fish. 44 The number of men who were fed was five thousand.
Jesus Walks on the Water
(Matthew 14.22-33John 6.15-21)45 At once Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to Bethsaida, on the other side of the lake, while he sent the crowd away. 46 After saying good-bye to the people, he went away to a hill to pray. 47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the lake, while Jesus was alone on land. 48 He saw that his disciples were straining at the oars, because they were rowing against the wind; so sometime between three and six o'clock in the morning, he came to them, walking on the water. He was going to pass them by, 49 but they saw him walking on the water. “It's a ghost!” they thought, and screamed. 50 They were all terrified when they saw him.
Jesus spoke to them at once, “Courage!” he said. “It is I. Don't be afraid!” 51 Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind died down. The disciples were completely amazed, 52 because they had not understood the real meaning of the feeding of the five thousand; their minds could not grasp it.
Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret
(Matthew 14.34-36)53 They crossed the lake and came to land at Gennesaret, where they tied up the boat. 54 As they left the boat, people recognized Jesus at once. 55 So they ran throughout the whole region; and wherever they heard he was, they brought to him the sick lying on their mats. 56 And everywhere Jesus went, to villages, towns, or farms, people would take their sick to the marketplaces and beg him to let the sick at least touch the edge of his cloak. And all who touched it were made well.

K. Jezus Nazaretā.
1 Izgōjis nu turīnes, Jys aizgōja uz sovu dzymtū piļsātu. Jō mōcekli aizgōja Jam pakaļ. 2 Kad atgōja sabats, Jys sōce mōceit synagogā. Daudz klauseitōju apbreinōja Jō mōceibu un vaicōja saceidami: Nu kurīnes Jam šytys radīs? Kas Jam īdeve tū gudreibu un tūs breinumus, kas nūteik caur Jō rūkom? 3 Vai ta Jys nava gaļdnīks, Marijas dāls, Jākuba, Jezupa, Judas un Seimaņa brōļs? Vai tad Jō mōsas nadzeivoj storp mums? Un jī īsaļaunōja nu Jō.
4 Bet Jezus tim atbiļdēja: Nikur cytur pravīts nava bez cīna, kai tik sovā dzymtajā mīstā, pi sovim radinīkim un sovā sātā. 5 Un Jys tur navarēja dareit nivīna breinuma; tikai, uzlīkūt rūkas, dažus sliminīkus padareja vasalus. 6 Un breinōjōs jūs bezticeibai. Pēc tam Jys gōja mōceidams pa apleicejom sadžom.
Apostolu syuteišona.
7 Sasaucis pi sevis tūs divpadsmit, Jys sōce jūs pa divi izsyuteit un deve jim varu par naškeistajim gorim. 8 Jys jim pīsaceja, ka nikō cyta leidza najimtu, kai ceļa vāzdu: ni maizes, ni kules, ni ari jūstā naudas; 9 kōjōs gon lai apautu kūrpes, bet lai navylktu diveju svōrku. 10 Tōļōk jim saceja: Kad jyus kur īīsit mōjā, palicit tur, koleidz nu turīnes īsit tōļōk. 11 Jo kaidā vītā jyusu napījimtu un jyusu naklauseitu, tad, īdami ōrā, nūkrotit nu sovom kōjom putekli, līceibai pret jim.
12 Jī gōja, sludynōdami grāku vaidēšonu, 13 izdzyna daudz valnu, apsvaideja ar eleju daudz sliminīku un jūs padareja vasalus.
Jōņa Kristeitōja nōve.
14 Ari kēneņš Erods (tū) izdzērda, Jō vōrds tadei beja palicis slovons. Tyka saceits: Jōņs Kristeitōjs ir cēlīs nu myrūnim, un tōpēc Jamā dorbojās taids breiniškeigs spāks. 15 Bet citi saceja: Jys ir Eliass. Bet citi saceja, ka Jys ir pravīts vai vīns nu pravīšim. 16 Erods, šytū dzērdādams, pasaceja: Jys ir Jōņs, kuram es lyku nūcērst golvu. Jys ir pīsacēlis nu myrūnim.
17 Erods tadei, sova brōļa Filipa sīvas Erodiades dēļ, kuru jys sev beja pajēmis, nūsyuteja Jōni sakert, sasīt un īslūdzeit cītumā. 18 Jo Jōņs Erodam saceja: Tu nadreiksti sova brōļa sīvu paturēt sev. 19 Erodiade jū īneida un gribēja nūkaut, bet navarēja; 20 Erods turpretim, Jōņa beidōs, zynōdams, ka jys ir taisneigs un svāts cylvāks, un pajēme jū sovā apsardzeibā. Jō klausūtīs, gon jys daudz napatikšonu cīte, tūmār labprōt jō klausejōs.
21 Un vīnā dīnā pēdeigi pīnōce izdeveigs gadejums. Erods sovas dzimšonas dīnā beja sagatavōjis mīlasti sovim lelkungim, vērsinīkim un Galilejas vacōkim. 22 Erodiades meita īgōjuse izvede vīnu deju un ar tū īpatyka Erodam un jō vīsim. Tad kēneņš pasaceja meitinei: Pīpros nu manis, kō vīn gribi, un es tev tū dūšu. 23 Jys pat pīzvērēja: kō vīn praseisi, es tev dūšu, lai tys bejis pat puse munas kēnests. 24 Jei, izgōjuse ōrā, vaicōja nu sovas mōtes: Kō lai es pīprosu? Tei atbiļdēja: Jōņa Kristeitōja golvu. 25 Jei tyuleņ steidzeigi īgōja pi kēneņa un pīpraseja: Es grybu, ka tu maņ uz bļūdas dūtu Jōņa Kristeitōja golvu. 26 Kēneņš ļūti nūskuma, bet zvārasta un cīmeņu dēļ nagribēja jai atteikt. 27 Un kēneņš tyuleņ nūsyuteja bendi un pīsaceja jam atnest tō golvu. 28 Tys, aizgōjis uz cītumu, atcēra tur jam golvu, un, atnesis jū uz bļūdas, atdeve meitinei. Un meitine — jū sovai mōtei. 29 Tū izdzērduši, jō mōcekli atgōja, pajēme jō mīsu un īlyka kopā.
Apostolu atsagrīzšona atpakaļ.
30 Tad atsagrīzuši atpakaļ pi Jezus, apostoli pastōsteja Jam vysu, kū jī beja padarejuši un kū mōcejuši. 31 Jys tim atbiļdēja: Ejte jyus nūmaļ vīntuleigā vītā un drusku atsapyutit. Jo atgōjēju un aizgōjēju beja tik daudz, ka jim nabeja kod paēst.
32 Tad jī aizbrauce laivā nūmaļ uz vīntuleigu vītu.
33 Bet daudzeji redzēja jūs aizbraucam un jūs pazyna. Tōdēļ nu visim mīstim aizasteidze kōjom uz turīni un tyka tur par jim agrōk. 34 Izkōpdams nu laivas, Jys īraudzeja daudz ļaužu un apsažālōja uz jim, jo jī beja kai vuškas bez gona. Un Jys sōce jūs daudz kam mōceit.
Maizes breineiga pavairōšona.
35 Bet kad jau beja vālu, pīgōjuši pi Jō, mōcekli saceja: Šei vīta ir vīntuleiga, un stuņde jau vāla, 36 atlaid jūs, lai jī, aizgōjuši uz apleicejom sātom un cīmim, nūpērk sev kū ēst. 37 Bet Jys tim atbiļdēja: Dūdit jyus poši jim ēst. Jī atbiļdēja: Vai mums jōīt, jōpērk maizes par divi simti denaru un jī jōbaroj? 38 Jys nu jim vaicōja: Cik kukuļu maizes jums ir? Ejte un pasaverit. Un jī apsavāruši saceja: pīci un divi zivis.
39 Tūlaik Jys lyka jim vysus kōrteibā pasādynōt uz zaļōs zōles. 40 Un jī sasāda grupōs pa symtam un pīcdesmit. 41 Tad pajēmis tūs pīcus maizes kukuļus un tōs divi zivis, pasavēris uz dabasim, svēteja maizi un atdeve mōceklim, lai tū izdaleitu. Taipat tōs divi zivis izdaleja visim. 42 Visi paēde un beja seiti, 43 un pīlaseja pylnus divpadsmit peitiņus nu gobolim un zyvu atlīkom. 44 Maizes ādōju beja pīcas tyukstūšas veirīšu.
K. Jezus uz jyuras.
45 Tad Jys tyuleņ pīsaceja sovim mōceklim sēstīs laivā un pōrsaceļt pyrms Jō uz ūtru krostu pi Betsaidas, koleidz Jys palaiss ļaudis.
46 Jūs atlaidis, Jys izkōpe kolnā lyugtūs. 47 Vālam vovoram īstōjūt, laiva beja uz jyuras vyds, un Jys vīns pats uz krosta. 48 Bet, radzeidams tūs mūkūtīs pi ērklōšonas, jo pyute jim pretejais vējs, catūrtajā nakts sardzes laikā atgōja pi jim pa jyuras vērsu, un gribēja paīt garum. 49 Tī, īraudzejuši Jū pa jyuras vērsu ejam, dūmōja, ka tys ir spūks, un sōce klīgt. 50 Un, radzādami Jū, visi ļūti pōrsabeida. Bet Jys tyuleņ sōce ar jim runōt un saceja: Esit drūsi, Es asmu — nasabeistit! 51 Tad Jys īkōpe pi jim laivā, un vējs nūklusa. Bet jī vēļ styprōk uzatrauce; 52 jo jī vēļ nabeja saprotuši breinuma ar maizi, un jūs sirdis beja aptymsōtas.
Izveseļōšona.
53 Pōrbraukuši pōri, jī pībrauce pi Genezaret apvyda un tur nūsamete.
54 Jim kōpūt nu laivas, ļaudis tyuleņ jūs pazyna, un steidzēs 55 pa vysu tū apkōrtni un sōce nest pi Jō gultōs guļūšūs sliminīkus, kur vīn izdzērda Jū asam. 56 Un kurā tik cīmā, mīstā vai sātā Jys īgōja, jī nūlyka slymūs uz atklōta laukuma un lyudze, lai Jys atļautu pīsaskart kaut pi drēbu veiles. Un tī, kas pi Jō pīsaskōre, palyka vasali.
