Matt.14.22

As soon as the meal was finished, he insisted that the disciples get in the boat and go on ahead to the other side while he dismissed the people.

Matt.14.22

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.

Matt.14.22

Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

Matt.14.22

Immediately after this, Jesus made his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake while he sent the people home.

Matt.14.23

With the crowd dispersed, he climbed the mountain so he could be by himself and pray. He stayed there alone, late into the night.

Matt.14.23

After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,

Matt.14.23

And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.

Matt.14.23

Afterward he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone.

Matt.14.24

Meanwhile, the boat was far out to sea when the wind came up against them and they were battered by the waves.

Matt.14.24

but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

Matt.14.24

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

Matt.14.24

Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves.

Matt.14.25

At about four o'clock in the morning, Jesus came toward them walking on the water.

Matt.14.25

During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.

Matt.14.25

Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.

Matt.14.25

About three o'clock in the morning Jesus came to them, walking on the water.

Matt.14.26

They were scared out of their wits. "A ghost!" they said, crying out in terror.

Matt.14.26

When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.

Matt.14.26

And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear.

Matt.14.26

When the disciples saw him, they screamed in terror, thinking he was a ghost.

Matt.14.27

But Jesus was quick to comfort them. "Courage, it's me. Don't be afraid."

Matt.14.27

But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."

Matt.14.27

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."

Matt.14.27

But Jesus spoke to them at once. "It's all right," he said. "I am here! Don't be afraid."

Matt.14.28

Peter, suddenly bold, said, "Master, if it's really you, call me to come to you on the water."

Matt.14.28

"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."

Matt.14.28

And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."

Matt.14.28

Then Peter called to him, "Lord, if it's really you, tell me to come to you by walking on water."

Matt.14.29

He said, "Come ahead." Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus.

Matt.14.29

"Come," he said.

Matt.14.29

So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

Matt.14.29

"All right, come," Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.

Matt.14.30

But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, "Master, save me!"

Matt.14.30

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"

Matt.14.30

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

Matt.14.30

But when he looked around at the high waves, he was terrified and began to sink. "Save me, Lord!" he shouted.

Matt.14.31

Jesus didn't hesitate. He reached down and grabbed his hand. Then he said, "Faint-heart, what got into you?"

Matt.14.31

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"

Matt.14.31

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

Matt.14.31

Instantly Jesus reached out his hand and grabbed him. "You don't have much faith," Jesus said. "Why did you doubt me?"

Matt.14.32

The two of them climbed into the boat, and the wind died down.

Matt.14.32

And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.

Matt.14.32

And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

Matt.14.32

And when they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped.

Matt.14.33

The disciples in the boat, having watched the whole thing, worshiped Jesus, saying, "This is it! You are God's Son for sure!"

Matt.14.33

Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

Matt.14.33

Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God."

Matt.14.33

Then the disciples worshiped him. "You really are the Son of God!" they exclaimed.

Matt.14.34

On return, they beached the boat at Gennesaret.

Matt.14.34

When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

Matt.14.34

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

Matt.14.34

After they had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret.

Matt.14.35

When the people got wind that he was back, they sent out word through the neighborhood and rounded up all the sick,

Matt.14.35

And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him

Matt.14.35

And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick,

Matt.14.35

The news of their arrival spread quickly throughout the whole surrounding area, and soon people were bringing all their sick to be healed.

Matt.14.36

who asked for permission to touch the edge of his coat. And whoever touched him was healed.

Matt.14.36

and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.

Matt.14.36

and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.

Matt.14.36

The sick begged him to let them touch even the fringe of his robe, and all who touched it were healed.

Matt.15.1

After that, Pharisees and religion scholars came to Jesus all the way from Jerusalem, criticizing,

Matt.15.1

Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,

Matt.15.1

Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,

Matt.15.1

Some Pharisees and teachers of religious law now arrived from Jerusalem to interview Jesus.

Matt.15.2

"Why do your disciples play fast and loose with the rules?"

Matt.15.2

"Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their hands before they eat!"

Matt.15.2

"Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."

Matt.15.2

"Why do your disciples disobey our age-old traditions?" they demanded. "They ignore our tradition of ceremonial hand washing before they eat."

Matt.15.3

But Jesus put it right back on them. "Why do you use your rules to play fast and loose with God's commands?

Matt.15.3

Jesus replied, "And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

Matt.15.3

He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

Matt.15.3

Jesus replied, "And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?

Matt.15.4

God clearly says, "Respect your father and mother,' and, "Anyone denouncing father or mother should be killed.'

Matt.15.4

For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.'

Matt.15.4

For God commanded, saying, "Honor your father and your mother'; and, "He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'

Matt.15.4

For instance, God says, 'Honor your father and mother,' and 'Anyone who speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.'

Matt.15.5

But you weasel around that by saying, "Whoever wants to, can say to father and mother, What I owed to you I've given to God.'

Matt.15.5

But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, 'Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is a gift devoted to God,'

Matt.15.5

But you say, "Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God"--

Matt.15.5

But you say, 'You don't need to honor your parents by caring for their needs if you give the money to God instead.'

Matt.15.6

That can hardly be called respecting a parent. You cancel God's command by your rules.

Matt.15.6

he is not to 'honor his father 'with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

Matt.15.6

then he need not honor his father or mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.

Matt.15.6

And so, by your own tradition, you nullify the direct commandment of God.

Matt.15.7

Frauds! Isaiah's prophecy of you hit the bull's-eye:

Matt.15.7

You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:

Matt.15.7

Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:

Matt.15.7

You hypocrites! Isaiah was prophesying about you when he said,

Matt.15.8

These people make a big show of saying the right thing, but their heart isn't in it.

Matt.15.8

"'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

Matt.15.8

"These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.

Matt.15.8

'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far away.

Matt.15.9

They act like they're worshiping me, but they don't mean it. They just use me as a cover for teaching whatever suits their fancy."

Matt.15.9

They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'"

Matt.15.9

And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."'

Matt.15.9

Their worship is a farce, for they replace God's commands with their own man-made teachings.'"
