Mark 6
1 Jesus left [Capernaum city and went to his hometown, Nazareth]. His disciples went with him.
Dann ging er weg von dort und kam in seine Vaterstadt, und seine Jünger folgten ihm.
2 (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day), [he entered] the Jewish worship house and taught [the people]. Many who were listening to him were astonished. [But some] were saying, “[This man is just an ordinary person like we are! So (we cannot believe that] this man [is able to teach us] about these things and that he has been made very wise {that [God] has made him very wise} and that he is performing such miracles![/how is it that] [RHQ] this man [is able to teach us] about these things and that he has been made very wise {that [God] has made him very wise} and that he is performing such miracles?) [RHQ]
Am nächsten Sabbat fing er an, in dem Versammlungshaus zu lehren. Viele der Hörer sprachen voll Staunen: "Woher hat er das? Welche Weisheit ist ihm verliehen? Und solche Wunder geschehen durch seine Hände?
3 ([We know that] he is [just an ordinary] carpenter!/Isn’t he [just an ordinary] carpenter [RHQ]?) [We know him and his family! We know] Mary his mother! ([We know] his [younger] brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon!/Are not his [younger] brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon?) [RHQ] And (his [younger] sisters also live here in this town!/do not his [younger] sisters also live here in this town?) [RHQ]” So they despised him.
Ist das nicht der Tischler, der Sohn Marias und der Bruder des Jakobus, Joses, Judas und Simon? wohnen nicht auch seine Schwestern hier bei uns?" Und sie wollten nichts von ihm wissen.
4 Jesus [knew that they refused to believe in him]. So he said to them, “[It is certainly true that] people honor [me and other] prophets [in other places, but] not in our hometowns! Even our relatives and the people who live in our own houses do not honor us!”
Da sprach Jesus zu ihnen: "Ein Prophet gilt nirgends so wenig wie in seiner Heimat und bei seinen Verwandten und Hausgenossen."
5 [So], although he healed a few sick people there by touching them, he [decided] not to perform many [other] miracles [in Nazareth] because the people there did not believe that he was the Messiah.
Er konnte dort auch kein einziges Wunder tun; nur einige Kranke machte er durch Handauflegung gesund.
6 He was amazed that they did not believe [in him]. Mark 6:6b-13 Jesus [and his disciples] went from town to town [in that region] teaching [the people].
Und er war verwundert über ihren Unglauben. Dann durchzog er lehrend die Dörfer im Umkreis.
7 [One day] he summoned the twelve [disciples], and then he [told them that] he was going to send them out two-by-two [to teach people in various towns]. He gave them power [to expel] evil spirits [from people].
Darauf rief er die Zwölf herbei und begann sie zu Zweien auszusenden. Dabei gab er ihnen Macht über die unreinen Geister.
8 He also instructed them to wear sandals and to take along a walking stick when they were traveling. He told them not to take food, nor a bag [in which travelers carry supplies], nor any money for their journey. He also did not allow them to take extra clothing. [He wanted the people who heard their message to give them what they needed].
Er befahl ihnen, außer einem Wanderstab nicht mit auf den Weg zu nehmen: kein Brot, keinen Ranzen, kein Geld im Gürtel;
"aber", so fuhr er fort, "ihr sollt Schuhe tragen, doch nicht zwei Unterkleider anziehen."
10 He also instructed them, “After you enter a town, [if someone invites you to stay in his house], go into his house. Eat and sleep in that same home until you leave that town.
Ferner sprach er zu ihnen: "In jedem Haus, wo ihr Eingang findet, da bleibt, bis ihr weiterwandert!
11 Wherever the people do not welcome you and wherever the people do not listen to you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave [that place]. By doing that, you will warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
Wo man euch aber nicht aufnimmt und hören will, den Ort verlaßt und schüttelt den Staub von euern Füßen, zum Zeugnis wider sie!"
12 [So] after the disciples went out [to various towns], they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.
So zogen sie aus und forderten zur Sinnesänderung auf.
13 They were also expelling many evil spirits [from people], and they were anointing many sick people with [olive] oil and healing them.
Sie trieben viele böse Geister aus; viele Kranke salbten sie mit Öl und heilten sie.
14 [King] Herod [Antipas] heard about [what] Jesus [was doing], because many people were talking [about it. Some] people were saying [about Jesus], “[He must be] John the Baptizer! He has come back to life! That is why he [has God’s] power to perform these miracles!”
Auch der König Herodes hörte von Jesus, denn sein Name war in aller Mund. Einige sagten: "Johannes der Täufer ist von den Toten auferstanden; darum sind die Wunderkräfte in ihm wirksam."
15 Others were saying [about Jesus], “He is [the former prophet] Elijah, [whom God promised to send back again].” Others were saying [about Jesus], “[No], he is a [different] prophet, like one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago].”
Andere meinten: "Er ist Elia", wieder andere: "Er ist ein Prophet, ähnlich den Propheten der alten Zeit."
16 Having heard [what the people were saying, King] Herod [Antipas] himself repeatedly said, “The man [performing those miracles] must be John! I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head, but he has come back to life again [to get revenge for my killing him]!”
Als aber Herodes davon hörte, sprach er: "Es ist Johannes, den ich habe enthaupten lassen; der ist wieder auferstanden!"
17 The reason [King Herod concluded that John wanted revenge is as follows: Some time before this], Herod married Herodias, while she was [still] the wife of his [younger] brother, Philip.
Herodes hatte nämlich Johannes festnehmen lassen und in Ketten gefangengehalten wegen Herodias, der Frau seines Bruders Philippus. Die hatte Herodes geheiratet.
18 John kept telling Herod, “[God’s] law does not permit you to marry the wife of your brother [while he is still alive].” Then, because Herodias [urged him to put John in prison], Herod himself sent [soldiers to John]. They seized John and put him in prison.
Aber Johannes hatte ihm gesagt: "Du darfst deines Bruders Weib nicht zur Frau haben."
19 But because Herodias wanted to get [further] revenge on John, she wanted [someone] to execute him. But she could not do that because [while John was in prison], Herod kept John safe [from her].
Deshalb haßte ihn Herodias, und sie wollte ihn zu Tode bringen. Doch das gelang nicht.
20 Herod did this because he respected/feared John, because he knew that he was a righteous and holy man. The king did not know what he should do, but he liked to listen to him.
Denn Herodes hatte Ehrfurcht vor Johannes. Er kannte ihn als einen gerechten und heiligen Mann. Darum nahm er ihn in Schutz. Und oft, wenn er ihn hörte, bekam er starke Gewissensbedenken; trotzdem hörte er ihn gern.
21 But [Herodias was able to have someone execute John when they honored/celebrated] the day when Herod was born. On that day, he invited the [most important] government officials, the [most important] army leaders, and the most important men in Galilee [district] in order that they might eat [and celebrate with him].
Endlich kam für Herodias eine gelegene Stunde; Herodes gab an seinem Geburtstag seinen hohen Würdenträgern und ersten Hauptleuten und den Vornehmen von Galiläa ein Festgelage.
22 [While they were eating], Herodias’ daughter came into the room and danced, and that pleased [King] Herod and his guests. So the king said to her, “Ask me for whatever you desire and I will give it to you!”
Da trat die Tochter der Herodias ein und tanzte. Damit gefiel sie Herodes und seinen Gästen. Und der König sprach zu dem Mädchen: "Erbitte von mir, was du willst; du sollst es haben!"
23 He said to her, “Whatever you ask, I will give it to you! I will give you up to half of what I own and rule, if you ask for it. May God punish me [if I do not do what I have promised]!”
Ja er schwur ihr: "Was du von mir verlangst, das will ich dir geben, und sei es die Hälfte meines Königreichs."
24 The girl immediately left the room and went to her mother. She [told her what the king had said, and] asked her, “What shall I ask for?” Her mother replied, “[Ask the king to give you] the head of John the Baptizer!”
Da ging sie hinaus und fragte ihre Mutter: "Was soll ich mir fordern?" Die sagte: "Das Haupt Johannes des Täufers."
25 The girl quickly entered the room again. She went to the king and she requested, “I want you to command someone to [cut off] the head of John the Baptizer [and] give it to me at once on a platter, [so that my mother can know he is dead]!”
Gleich ging sie in Eile wieder zum König hinein und bat ihn: "Laß mir sofort auf einer Schüssel das Haupt Johannes des Täufers geben!"
26 The king became very distressed [when he heard what she asked for], because he knew John was a very righteous man (OR, because he now knew that he should not have made that promise to her). But he could not refuse [what she requested because] he had promised [that he would give her anything she asked for], and because his guests [had heard him promise that].
Da ward der König aufs tiefste betrübt. Aber um seines Eides und seiner Gäste willen wollte er ihr die Bitte nicht versagen.
27 So the king at once ordered the man who executes prisoners to go and [cut off] John’s head and bring it [to the girl]. That man went to the prison and cut off John’s head.
So sandte denn der König auf der Stelle einen seiner Leibwächter hin mit dem Befehl, des Johannes Haupt zu bringen. Der ging und enthauptete ihn im Gefängnis.
28 He [put it on] a platter, brought it back, and gave it to the girl. The girl took it to her mother.
Dann brachte er sein Haupt auf einer Schüssel und gab es dem Mädchen, und das Mädchen gab's ihrer Mutter.
29 After John’s disciples heard [what happened], they went [to the prison] and took John’s body and then they buried [it in a burial cave].
Als die Jünger des Johannes dies erfuhren, da kamen sie, holten seinen Leichnam und begruben ihn.
30 The [twelve] apostles returned to Jesus [from the places to which they had gone]. They reported to him what they had done and what they had taught [to people].
Die Apostel berichteten Jesus bei ihrer Rückkehr alles, was sie getan und gelehrt hatten.
31 He said to them, “Come [with me] to a place where no people are living, in order that we can be alone and rest a little while!” [He said this] because many people were continually coming to them and going [away again], with the result that [Jesus and] his disciples did not have time to eat [or do anything else].
Da sprach er zu ihnen: "Kommt, laßt uns allein in eine menschenleere Gegend gehen: da ruht ein wenig!" Denn es war ein ständiges Kommen und Gehen, und sie fanden nicht einmal Zeit zum Essen.
32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.
Da fuhren sie allein in ihrem Boot an einen abgelegenen Ort.
33 [But many] people saw them leaving. They also recognized [that they were Jesus and the disciples, and they saw where they were going]. So they ran [ahead on land] from all the [nearby] towns to the place [where Jesus and his disciples were going]. They [actually] arrived there before [Jesus and the disciples].
Aber viele sahen sie abfahren und erkannten sie. So kam es, daß aus allen Städten dort, wohin das Boot steuerte, Leute zu Fuß zusammenliefen und noch vor ihnen den Ort erreichten.
34 As Jesus [and his disciples] got out of the boat, Jesus saw this large crowd. He felt sorry for them because they were [confused], like sheep that do not have a shepherd. So he taught them many things.
Als Jesus aus dem Boot stieg, sah er eine große Schar. Er empfand tiefes Mitleid bei dem Anblick der Leute, denn sie waren wie Schafe ohne Hirten. Und er begann, sie über vieles zu belehren.
35 Late [in the afternoon], the disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where no people live and it is very late.
Als der Tag zur Neige ging, traten seine Jünger zu ihm und sprachen: "Die Gegend hier ist unbewohnt, und es ist schon spät.
36 [So] send the people away in order that they may go to the surrounding farms and villages in order that they can buy for themselves something to eat!”
Laß deshalb die Leute ziehen, damit sie in die umliegenden Gehöfte und Dörfer gehen und sich Lebensmittel kaufen."
37 But he replied, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “(We could not buy enough bread to feed [this crowd], even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days!/How could we buy enough bread to feed [this mob], even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days?)” [RHQ]
Er aber antwortete: "Gebt ihr ihnen doch zu essen!" Da entgegneten sie ihm: "Sollen wir hingehen und für zweihundert Silberlinge Brot kaufen und ihnen zu essen geben?"
38 But he replied to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have? Go and find out!” They [went and] found out and then they told him, “We have [only] five flat loaves and two [cooked] fish!”
Da fragte er sie: "Wieviel Brote habt ihr? Geht hin, seht nach!" Sie sahen nach und sagten: "Fünf und außerdem zwei Fische."
39 He instructed [the disciples to tell] all the people to sit down on the green grass.
Da befahl er ihnen, alle sollten sich gruppenweise auf dem grünen Rasen lagern.
40 So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.
Und sie setzten sich in Scharen zu hundert und zu fünfzig nieder.
41 Jesus took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God] for them. Then he broke the loaves and fish into pieces and kept giving them to the disciples in order that they would distribute them to the people.
Nun nahm er die fünf Brote und die beiden Fische, sah auf zum Himmel und sprach den Lobpreis. Dann brach er die Brote und gab sie seinen Jüngern, damit sie sie den Leuten vorlegten. Auch die beiden Fische teilte er unter sie alle.
42 Everyone ate [this food] until they all had enough to eat!
So aßen alle und wurden satt.
43 The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces [of bread] and of the fish [that were left over].
Ja man las noch zwölf große Körbe voll Brocken auf, dazu auch Überbleibsel von den Fischen.
44 There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread [and fish. They did not even count the women and children].
Die aber von den Broten gegessen hatten, deren Zahl betrug fünftausend Mann.
45 Right away Jesus told his disciples to get into the boat and then go ahead of him to Bethsaida [town, which was] further around [Lake Galilee. He stayed and] dismissed the many people who were there.
Gleich darauf drängte er seine Jünger, in das Boot zu gehen und an das andere Ufer nach Bethsaida vorauszufahren, während er selbst das Volk entlassen wollte.
46 After he said goodbye to the people, he went up into the hills in order to pray.
Als er die Leute verabschiedet hatte, ging er auf die Bergeshöhe, um dort zu beten.
47 When it was evening, the [disciples’] boat was in the middle of the lake and Jesus was by himself on the land.
Beim Eintritt der Dunkelheit war das Boot mitten auf dem See und er allein auf dem Land.
48 He saw that the wind was [blowing] against them as they rowed. As a result, they were having great difficulty. He approached them early in the morning, when it was still dark, by walking on the water. He intended to walk by them.
Da sah er, wie sie große Mühe beim Rudern hatten, denn sie fuhren gegen den Wind. Um die vierte Nachtwache kam er, über den See hinwandelnd, auf sie zu,
49 They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed
als wollte er an ihnen vorübergehen. Als sie ihn so auf dem See wandeln sahen, meinten sie, es wäre ein Gespenst, und schrien auf.
50 because they all were terrified when they saw him. But he talked to them. He said to them, “Be calm! Do not be afraid, [because] it is I!”
Denn alle sahen ihn und waren voll Entsetzen. Aber alsbald redete er sie an. Er sprach zu ihnen: "Seid getrost, ich bin's; fürchtet euch nicht!"
51 He got into the boat [and sat down] with them and the wind [immediately] blowing. They were completely amazed [about what he had done].
Dann stieg er zu ihnen ins Boot: da legte sich der Wind. Darüber gerieten sie vor Staunen ganz außer sich.
52 [Although they had seen Jesus multiply] the [bread and the fish], they did not understand [from that how powerful he was, as they should have]. They did not think clearly about it.
Denn durch die wunderbare Speisung mit den Broten hatten sie nichts gelernt: ihr Herz war stumpf und unempfänglich geblieben.
53 After they went further around [Lake Galilee in a boat, they came to the shore at Gennesaret town]. Then they tied up the boat there.
Nach ihrer Überfahrt landeten sie in Genezaret und gingen dort vor Anker.
54 As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people there] recognized Jesus.
Als sie das Boot verließen, erkannten ihn die Leute sogleich:
55 So they ran throughout the whole district [in order to tell others that Jesus was there]. Then the people [placed] those who were sick on stretchers and carried them to any place where they heard [people say] that Jesus was.
sie eilten umher in der ganzen Gegend und trugen die Kranken auf ihren Betten hierhin und dorthin, wo er nach dem Gerücht sich aufhielt.
56 In whatever village, town or other place where he entered, they would bring to the marketplaces those who were sick. Then the [sick people] would beg Jesus to let them touch [him or] even the edge of his clothes [in order that Jesus might heal them]. All those who touched [him or his robe] were healed.
In den Dörfern, Städten und Gehöften, wohin er kam, setzte man die Kranken auf die freien Plätze und bat ihn, daß sie nur die Quaste seines Mantels berühren dürften. Und alle, die sie berührten, wurden gesund.
