¹ Χειρ Κυριου εσταθη επ' εμε· και με εξηγαγεν ο Κυριος δια πνευματος και με εθεσεν εν μεσω πεδιαδος και αυτη ητο πληρης οστεων.

² Και με εκαμε να διελθω πλησιον αυτων κυκλω· και ιδου, ησαν πολλα σφοδρα επι το προσωπον της πεδιαδος· και ιδου, ησαν καταξηρα.

³ Και ειπε προς εμε, Υιε ανθρωπου, δυνανται τα οστα ταυτα να αναζησωσι; Και ειπα, Κυριε Θεε, συ εξευρεις.

⁴ Και ειπε προς εμε, Προφητευσον επι τα οστα ταυτα και ειπε προς αυτα, Τα οστα τα ξηρα, ακουσατε τον λογον του Κυριου·

⁵ Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος προς τα οστα ταυτα· Ιδου, εγω θελω εμβαλει εις εσας πνευμα και θελετε αναζησει·

⁶ και θελω βαλει εφ' υμας νευρα και αναγαγει σαρκα εφ' υμας και περισκεπασει υμας με δερμα, και θελω εμβαλει εις εσας πνευμα και θελετε αναζησει και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

⁷ Και προεφητευσα, ως προσεταχθην· και καθως προεφητευσα, εγεινεν ηχος, και ιδου, σεισμος, και τα οστα συνηλθον ομου, οστουν μετα του οστου αυτου.

⁸ Και ειδον και ιδου, νευρα και σαρκες ανεφυησαν επ' αυτα και δερμα περιεσκεπασεν αυτα επανω· πνευμα ομως δεν ητο εν αυτοις.

⁹ Και ειπε προς εμε, προφητευσον επι το πνευμα, προφητευσον, υιε ανθρωπου, και ειπε προς το πνευμα, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ελθε, πνευμα, εκ των τεσσαρων ανεμων και εμφυσησον επι τους πεφονευμενους τουτους και ας αναζησωσι.

¹⁰ Και προεφητευσα, ως προσεταχθην· και το πνευμα εισηλθεν εις αυτους και ανεζησαν και εσταθησαν επι τους ποδας αυτων, στρατευμα μεγα σφοδρα.

¹¹ Και ειπε προς εμε, Υιε ανθρωπου, τα οστα ταυτα ειναι πας ο οικος Ισραηλ· ιδου, ουτοι λεγουσι, τα οστα ημων εξηρανθησαν και η ελπις ημων εχαθη· ημεις ηφανισθημεν.

¹² Δια τουτο προφητευσον και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ιδου, λαε μου, εγω ανοιγω τους ταφους σας και θελω σας αναβιβασει εκ των ταφων σας, θελω σας φερει εις την γην του Ισραηλ.

¹³ Και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, οταν, λαε μου, ανοιξω τους ταφους σας και σας αναβιβασω εκ των ταφων σας.

¹⁴ Και θελω δωσει το πνευμα μου εις εσας και θελετε αναζησει και θελω σας θεσει εν τη γη υμων, και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ο Κυριος ελαλησα και εξετελεσα, λεγει Κυριος.

¹⁵ Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

¹⁶ Και συ, υιε ανθρωπου, λαβε εις σεαυτον ραβδον μιαν και γραψον επ' αυτην περι του Ιουδα και περι των υιων Ισραηλ των συνακολουθων αυτου· λαβε και αλλην ραβδον και γραψον επ' αυτην περι του Ιωσηφ, της ραβδον του Εφραιμ, και παντος του οικου Ισραηλ των συνακολουθων αυτου.

¹⁷ Και συναψον αυτας εις σεαυτον μιαν προς μιαν εις ραβδον μιαν και θελουσι γεινει μια εν τη χειρι σου.

¹⁸ Και οταν οι υιοι του λαου σου ειπωσι προς σε, λεγοντες, Δεν θελεις απαγγειλει εις ημας τι δηλουσιν εις σε ταυτα;

¹⁹ ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ιδου, εγω θελω λαβει την ραβδον του Ιωσηφ, την εν τη χειρι του Εφραιμ, και των φυλων του Ισραηλ των συνακολουθων αυτου, και θελω βαλει εκεινας μετα ταυτης, της ραβδου του Ιουδα, και καμει αυτας μιαν ραβδον, και θελουσιν εισθαι μια εν τη χειρι μου.

²⁰ Και αι ραβδοι, επι τας οποιας εγραψας, θελουσιν εισθαι εν τη χειρι σου ενωπιον αυτων.

²¹ Και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ιδου, εγω θελω λαβει τους υιους Ισραηλ εκ μεσου των εθνων οπου υπηγον, και θελω συναξει αυτους πανταχοθεν και φερει αυτους εις την γην αυτων.

²² Και θελω καμει αυτους εν εθνος εν τη γη, επι των ορεων του Ισραηλ· και εις βασιλευς θελει εισθαι βασιλευς επι παντας αυτους· και δεν θελουσιν εισθαι πλεον δυο εθνη και δεν θελουσιν εισθαι του λοιπου διηρημενοι πλεον εις δυο βασιλεια·

²³ και δεν θελουσι μιαινεσθαι πλεον εν τοις ειδωλοις αυτων ουδε εν τοις βδελυγμασιν αυτων ουδε εν πασαις ταις παραβασεσιν αυτων· αλλα θελω σωσει αυτους εκ πασων των κατοικησεων αυτων, εν αις ημαρτησαν, και θελω καθαρισει αυτους· και θελουσιν εισθαι λαος μου και εγω θελω εισθαι Θεος αυτων.

²⁴ Και Δαβιδ ο δουλος μου θελει εισθαι βασιλευς επ' αυτους· και θελει εισθαι επι παντας αυτους εις ποιμην· και θελουσι περιπατει εν ταις κρισεσι μου και θελουσι φυλαττει τα διαταγματα μου και εκτελει αυτα.

²⁵ Και θελουσι κατοικει εν τη γη, την οποιαν εδωκα εις τον δουλον μου τον Ιακωβ, οπου κατωκησαν οι πατερες σας· και εν αυτη θελουσι κατοικει, αυτοι και τα τεκνα αυτων και τα τεκνα των τεκνων αυτων, εως αιωνος· και Δαβιδ ο δουλος μου θελει εισθαι αρχων αυτων εις τον αιωνα.

²⁶ Και θελω καμει προς αυτους διαθηκην ειρηνης· αυτη θελει εισθαι διαθηκη αιωνιος προς αυτους· και θελω στηριξει αυτους και πληθυνει αυτους, και θελω θεσει το αγιαστηριον μου εν μεσω αυτων εις τον αιωνα.

²⁷ Και η σκηνη μου θελει εισθαι εν μεσω αυτων, και θελω εισθαι Θεος αυτων και αυτοι θελουσιν εισθαι λαος μου.

²⁸ Και θελουσι γνωρισει τα εθνη οτι εγω ο Κυριος ειμαι ο αγιαζων τον Ισραηλ, οταν το αγιαστηριον μου ηναι εν μεσω αυτων εις τον αιωνα.

¹ At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

² and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him."

³ For Herod had laid hold of John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

⁴ For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

⁵ 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 came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.

⁷ Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.

⁸ She, being prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer."

⁹ The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,

¹⁰ and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

¹¹ His head was brought on a platter, and given to the young lady: and she brought it to her mother.

¹² His disciples came, and took the body, and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.

¹³ Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

¹⁴ Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

¹⁵ When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, "This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."

¹⁶ But Jesus said to them, "They don't need to go away. You give them something to eat."

¹⁷ They told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."

¹⁸ He said, "Bring them here to me."

¹⁹ He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

²⁰ They all ate, and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.

²¹ Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

²² Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

²³ After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.

²⁴ But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

²⁵ In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

²⁶ When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost!" and they cried out for fear.

²⁷ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying "Cheer up! It is I! Don't be afraid."

²⁸ Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."

²⁹ He said, "Come!" Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to Come to Jesus.

³⁰ But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"

³¹ Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

³² When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

³³ Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, "You are truly the Son of God!"

³⁴ When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

³⁵ When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick,

³⁶ and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
