Jāņa Kristītāja nāve
(Mk 6:14–29Lk 9:7–9)1 Tajā laikā tetrarhs Hērods izdzirdēja runas par Jēzu 2 un sacīja saviem kalpiem: “Šis ir Jānis Kristītājs, kas uzcēlies no mirušajiem, un tādēļ brīnumi notiek caur viņu.” 3 Hērods bija pavēlējis Jāni apcietināt un ieslodzīt cietumā Hērodijas, sava brāļa Filipa sievas, dēļ, 4 jo Jānis viņam atgādināja: “Tev nav atļauts viņu turēt sev par sievu.” 5 Hērods viņu gribēja nonāvēt, bet baidījās no ļaužu pūļa, jo tie uzskatīja Jāni par pravieti. 6 Bet Hēroda dzimšanas dienas svinībās tiem dejoja Hērodijas meita, un viņa tik ļoti iepatikās Hērodam, 7 ka viņš tai zvērēja dot visu, ko vien tā lūgs. 8 Bet viņa, savas mātes pamācīta, sacīja: “Dod man uz paplātes Jāņa Kristītāja galvu.” 9 Ķēniņš noskuma, bet zvēresta un mielasta viesu dēļ viņš pavēlēja to izdarīt 10 un sūtīja kādu uz cietumu nocirst Jānim galvu. 11 Un viņa galvu atnesa uz paplātes un iedeva to meitenei, un viņa to aiznesa savai mātei. 12 Un Jāņa mācekļi atnāca, paņēma viņa līķi, apglabāja to un aizgājuši paziņoja to Jēzum.
Piecu tūkstošu paēdināšana
(Mk 6:30–44Lk 9:10–17Jņ 6:1–14)13 Kad Jēzus to dzirdēja, viņš visus atstāja un brauca ar laivu uz kādu nomaļu vietu. Bet ļaudis, to padzirdējuši, gāja kājām no pilsētām viņam pakaļ. 14 Izkāpis krastā, Jēzus ieraudzīja lielu ļaužu pūli un iežēlojās par tiem, un dziedināja viņu slimos. 15 Kad vakars tuvojās, pie viņa pienāca mācekļi un sacīja: “Šī vieta ir nomaļa, un laiks jau ir vēls; atlaid ļaudis, lai tie iet tuvējos ciemos un pērk sev ēdamo.” 16 Bet Jēzus tiem atbildēja: “Viņiem nav nekur jāiet; dodiet jūs viņiem ēst.” 17 Tie viņam sacīja: “Mums šeit nav nekā vairāk kā vien piecas maizes un divas zivis.” 18 Viņš tiem sacīja: “Nesiet man tās šurp!” 19 Jēzus lika ļaužu pūlim apsēsties zālē, paņēma tās piecas maizes un divas zivis; viņš pacēla acis uz debesīm, pateicās un, maizi lauzis, deva to mācekļiem, bet mācekļi – ļaudīm. 20 Un visi ēda un bija sāti. No pāri palikušajiem maizes gabaliem salasīja divpadsmit pilnus grozus. 21 Paēdušo bija ap pieci tūkstoši vīru, neskaitot sievietes un bērnus.
Jēzus staigā pa jūras virsu
(Mk 6:45–52Jņ 6:15–21)22 Un Jēzus tūlīt lika mācekļiem sakāpt laivā un pirmajiem doties pāri uz otru pusi, kamēr viņš atlaida ļaužu pūli. 23 Ļaudis atlaidis, viņš viens uzkāpa kalnā Dievu lūgt, un, vakaram nākot, viņš tur palika viens pats. 24 Bet laiva bija jau vairākus stadijus tālu no krasta; viļņi to mētāja, jo pūta pretvējš. 25 Ap ceturtās nakts sardzes laiku Jēzus nāca pie tiem, pa jūras virsu staigādams. 26 Mācekļi, redzēdami viņu pa jūras virsu staigājam, izbijušies sauca: “Tas ir spoks!” – un kliedza no bailēm. 27 Bet Jēzus tūlīt tos uzrunāja: “Esiet droši, es tas esmu, nebīstieties!” 28 Tad Pēteris viņam sacīja: “Kungs, ja tu tas esi, liec man nākt pie tevis pa ūdens virsu.” 29 Viņš sacīja: “Nāc!” Un Pēteris izkāpa no laivas un, iedams pa ūdens virsu, gāja pie Jēzus. 30 Bet, vētru redzēdams, viņš nobijās un sāka grimt; un viņš sauca: “Kungs, glāb mani!” 31 Tūdaļ, roku izstiepis, Jēzus viņu satvēra un viņam sacīja: “Mazticīgais, kādēļ tu šaubījies?” 32 Viņi iekāpa laivā, un vējš norima. 33 Tad tie, kas bija laivā, nometās ceļos viņa priekšā un sacīja: “Patiesi tu esi Dieva Dēls!”
Jēzus dziedina slimos Gennēsaretē
(Mk 6:53–56)34 Pārcēlušies tie nonāca Gennēsaretes zemē. 35 Kad vietējie viņu pazina, tie izsūtīja ziņu pa visu apgabalu, un tie atnesa pie viņa visus slimos. 36 Tie viņam lūdza, ka varētu kaut drēbju malai pieskarties, un, kas pieskārās, kļuva veseli.
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.
