Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
1In illo tempore audivit Herodes tetrarcha famam Jesu:
2and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”
2et ait pueris suis: Hic est Joannes Baptista: ipse surrexit a mortuis, et ideo virtutes operantur in eo.
3For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
3Herodes enim tenuit Joannem, et alligavit eum: et posuit in carcerem propter Herodiadem uxorem fratris sui.
4For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
4Dicebat enim illi Joannes: Non licet tibi habere eam.
5When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
5Et volens illum occidere, timuit populum: quia sicut prophetam eum habebant.
6But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
6Die autem natalis Herodis saltavit filia Herodiadis in medio, et placuit Herodi:
7Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
7unde cum juramento pollicitus est ei dare quodcumque postulasset ab eo.
8She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”
8At illa præmonita a matre sua: Da mihi, inquit, hic in disco caput Joannis Baptistæ.
9The 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,
9Et contristatus est rex: propter juramentum autem, et eos qui pariter recumbebant, jussit dari.
10and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
10Misitque et decollavit Joannem in carcere.
11His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.
11Et allatum est caput ejus in disco, et datum est puellæ, et attulit matri suæ.
12His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
12Et accedentes discipuli ejus, tulerunt corpus ejus, et sepelierunt illud: et venientes nuntiaverunt Jesu.
13Now 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.
13Quod cum audisset Jesus, secessit inde in navicula, in locum desertum seorsum: et cum audissent turbæ, secutæ sunt eum pedestres de civitatibus.
14Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
14Et exiens vidit turbam multam, et misertus est eis, et curavit languidos eorum.
15When 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.”
15Vespere autem facto, accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, dicentes: Desertus est locus, et hora jam præteriit: dimitte turbas, ut euntes in castella, emant sibi escas.
16But Jesus said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
16Jesus autem dixit eis: Non habent necesse ire: date illis vos manducare.
17They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
17Responderunt ei: Non habemus hic nisi quinque panes et duos pisces.
18He said, “Bring them here to me.”
18Qui ait eis: Afferte mihi illos huc.
19He 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.
19Et cum jussisset turbam discumbere super fœnum, acceptis quinque panibus et duobus piscibus, aspiciens in cælum benedixit, et fregit, et dedit discipulis panes, discipuli autem turbis.
20They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
20Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt. Et tulerunt reliquias, duodecim cophinos fragmentorum plenos.
21Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
21Manducantium autem fuit numerus quinque millia virorum, exceptis mulieribus et parvulis.
22Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
22Et statim compulit Jesus discipulos ascendere in naviculam, et præcedere eum trans fretum, donec dimitteret turbas.
23After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
23Et dimissa turba, ascendit in montem solus orare. Vespere autem facto solus erat ibi:
24But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
24navicula autem in medio mari jactabatur fluctibus: erat enim contrarius ventus.
25In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
25Quarta enim vigilia noctis, venit ad eos ambulans super mare.
26When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
26Et videntes eum super mare ambulantem, turbati sunt, dicentes: Quia phantasma est. Et præ timore clamaverunt.
27But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
27Statimque Jesus locutus est eis, dicens: Habete fiduciam: ego sum, nolite timere.
28Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
28Respondens autem Petrus, dixit: Domine, si tu es, jube me ad te venire super aquas.
29He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
29At ipse ait: Veni. Et descendens Petrus de navicula, ambulabat super aquam ut veniret ad Jesum.
30But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
30Videns vero ventum validum, timuit: et cum cœpisset mergi, clamavit dicens: Domine, salvum me fac.
31Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
31Et continuo Jesus extendens manum, apprehendit eum: et ait illi: Modicæ fidei, quare dubitasti?
32When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
32Et cum ascendissent in naviculam, cessavit ventus.
33Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”
33Qui autem in navicula erant, venerunt, et adoraverunt eum, dicentes: Vere Filius Dei es.
34When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
34Et cum transfretassent, venerunt in terram Genesar.
35When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;
35Et cum cognovissent eum viri loci illius, miserunt in universam regionem illam, et obtulerunt ei omnes male habentes:
36and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
36et rogabant eum ut vel fimbriam vestimenti ejus tangerent. Et quicumque tetigerunt, salvi facti sunt.
