|
| 14 1 | It was at that time that reports about Jesus reached the ears of Prince Herod. 'This is John the Baptist,' | The Death of John the Baptist Mt.14.1-12 (Machaerus) | Mk.6.14-29 | Lk.9.7-9 | Ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ ἠκουσεν Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετραάρχης τὴν ἀκοὴν Ἰησοῦ, |
|
| 2 | he said to his attendants; 'John has been raised to life, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.'
| | καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ, Οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστής· αὐτὸς ἠγέρθη ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο αἱ δυνάμεις ἐνεργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ. |
|
| 3 | FOR HEROD had arrested John, put him in chains, and thrown him into prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; | | Ὁ γὰρ Ἡρῴδης κρατήσας τὸν Ἰωάννην ἐδησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν φυλακῇ ἀπέθετο διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ· |
|
| 4 | for John had told him: 'You have no right to her.' | | ἐλεγεν γὰρ ὁ Ἰωάννης αὐτῷ, Οὐκ ἐξεστίν σοι ἐχειν αὐτήν. |
|
| 5 | Herod would have liked to put him to death, but he was afraid of the people, in whose eyes John was a prophet. | | καὶ θέλων αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι ἐφοβήθη τὸν ὀχλον, ὅτι ὡς προφήτην αὐτὸν εἶχον. |
|
| 6 | But at his birthday celebrations the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests, | | γενεσίοις δὲ γενομένοις τοῦ Ἡρῴδου ὠρχήσατο ἡ θυγάτηρ τῆς Ἡρῳδιάδος ἐν τῷ μέσῳ καὶ ἠρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ, |
|
| 7 | and Herod was so delighted that he took an oath to give her anything she cared to ask. | | ὁθεν μεθ' ὁρκου ὡμολόγησεν αὐτῇ δοῦναι ὃ ἐὰν αἰτήσηται. |
|
| 8 | Prompted by her mother, she said,.'Give me here on a dish the head of John the Baptist.' | | ἡ δὲ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς, Δός μοι, φησίν, ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ. |
|
| 9 | The king was deeply distressed when he heard it; but out of regard for his oath and for his guests, he ordered the request to be granted, | | καὶ λυπηθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ τοὺς ὁρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους ἐκέλευσεν δοθῆναι, |
|
| 10 | and had John beheaded in prison. | | καὶ πέμψας ἀπεκεφάλισεν τὸν Ἰωάννην ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ· |
|
| 11 | The head was brought in on a dish and given to the girl; and she carried it to her mother. | | καὶ ἠνέχθη ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἐδόθη τῷ κορασίῳ, καὶ ἠνεγκεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς. |
|
| 12 | Then John's disciples came and took away the body, and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.
| | καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦραν τὸ πτῶμα καὶ ἐθαψαν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐλθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ. |
