New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 14 | Now King Herod heard of it, for the fame of Jesus had spread; and people were saying, 'John the Baptist has been raised to life, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.' | The Death of John the Baptist Mk.6.14-29 (Machaerus) | Mt.14.1-12 | Lk.9.7-9 | Καὶ ἠκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἡρῴδης, φανερὸν γὰρ ἐγένετο τὸ ὀνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλεγον ὅτι Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐνεργοῦσιν αἱ δυνάμεις ἐν αὐ τῷ. |
|
| 15 | Others said, 'It is Elijah.' Others again, 'He is a prophet like one of the old prophets.' | | ἀλλοι δὲ ἐλεγον ὅτι Ἠλίας ἐστίν· ἀλλοι δὲ ἐλεγον ὅτι προφήτης ὡς εἷς τῶν προφητῶν. |
|
| 16 | But Herod, when he heard of it, said, 'This is John, whom I beheaded, raised from the dead.'
| | ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἡρῴδης ἐλεγεν, Ὃν ἐγὼ ἀπεκεφάλισα Ἰωάννην, οὗτος ἠγέρθη. |
|
| 17 | For this same Herod had sent and arrested John and put him in prison at the instance of his brother Philip's wife, Herodias, whom he had marrie d. | | Αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ Ἡρῴδης ἀποστείλας ἐκράτησεν τὸν Ἰωάννην καὶ ἐδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν φυλακῇ διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι αὐτὴν ἐγάμησεν· |
|
| 18 | John is had told Herod, 'You have no right to your brother's wife.' | | ἐλεγεν γὰρ ὁ Ἰωάννης τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ ὅτι Οὐκ ἐξεστίν σοι ἐχειν τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου. |
|
| 19 | Thus Herodias nursed a grudge against him and would willingly have killed him, but she could not; | | ἡ δὲ ἡρῳδιὰς ἐνεῖχεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἠθελεν αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο· |
|
| 20 | for Herod went in awe of John, knowing him to be a good and holy man; so he kept him in custody. He liked to listen to him, although the listening left him greatly perplexed.
| | ὁ γὰρ Ἡρῴδης ἐφοβεῖτο τὸν Ἰωάννην, εἰδὼς αὐτὸν ἀνδρα δίκαιον καὶ ἀγιον, καὶ συνετήρει αὐτόν, καὶ ἀκούσας αὐτοῦ πολλὰ ἠπόρει, καὶ ἡδέως αὐτοῦ ἠκουεν. |
|
| 21 | Herodias found her opportunity when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to his chief officials and commanders and the leading men of Galilee. | | Καὶ γενομένης ἡμέρας εὐκαίρου ὅτε Ἡρῴδης τοῖς γενεσίοις αὐτοῦ δεῖπνον ἐποίησεν τοῖς μεγιστᾶσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς χιλιάρχοις καὶ τοῖς πρώτοις τῆς Γαλιλαίας, |
|
| 22 | Her daughter came in and danced, and so delighted Herod and his guests that the king said to the girl, 'Ask what you like and I will give it you.' | | καὶ εἰσελθούσης τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἡρῳδιάδος καὶ ὀρχησαμένης, ἠρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ καὶ τοῖς συνανακειμένοις. εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ κορασίῳ, Αἰτησόν με ὃ ἐὰν θέλῃς, καὶ δώσω σοι· |
|
| 23 | And he swore an oath to her: 'Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.' | | καὶ ὠμοσεν αὐτῇ πολλά, Ὅ τι ἐάν με αἰτήσῃς δώσω σοι ἑως ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου. |
|
| 24 | She went out and said to her mother, 'What shall I ask for?' She replied, 'The head of John the Baptist.' | | καὶ ἐξελθοῦσα εἶπεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς, Τί αἰτήσωμαὶ ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, Τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτίζοντος. |
|
| 25 | The girl hastened back at once to the king with her request: 'I want you to give me here and now, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.' | | καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα εὐθὺς μετὰ σπουδῆς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ᾐτήσατο λέγουσα, Θέλω ἵνα ἐξαυτῆς δῷς μοι ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ. |
|
| 26 | The king was greatly distressed, but out of regard for his oath and for his guests he could not bring himself to refuse her. | | καὶ περίλυπος γενόμενος ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ τοὺς ὁρκους καὶ τοὺς ἀνακειμένους οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἀθετῆσαι αὐτήν· |
|
| 27 | So the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John's head. The soldier went off and beheaded him in the prison, | | καὶ εὐθὺς ἀποστείλας ὁ βασιλεὺς σπεκουλάτορα ἐπέταξεν ἐνέγκαι τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἀπελθὼν ἀπεκεφάλισεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ |
|
| 28 | brought the head on a dish, and gave it to the girl; and she gave it to her mother.
| | καὶ ἠνεγκεν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἐδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ κορασίῳ, καὶ τὸ κοράσιον ἐδωκεν αὐτὴν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς. |
|
| 29 | When John's disciples heard the news, they came and took his body away and laid it in a tomb.
| | καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦλθον καὶ ἦραν τὸ πτῶμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐθηκαν αὐτὸ ἐν μνημείῳ. |
