Matthew 16
1 [Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
Nu kwamen de farizeën en sadduceën Hem op de proef stellen, en verlangden, dat Hij hun een teken van de hemel zou tonen.
2 He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
Maar Hij antwoordde hun: ‘s Avonds zegt gij: Mooi weer, want de hemel ziet rood;
3 [Early] in the morning [you say], ‘It will be stormy weather today, because the sky is red, and dark clouds have formed.’ You understand how to predict [the weather by looking at the sky], but you cannot [seem to look at what is happening] now, [and by that] understand [what God is doing].
en ‘s morgens: Vandaag lelijk weer, want de hemel is somber. Het uitzicht van de hemel weet gij te beoordelen, maar kunt gij het dan de tekenen der tijden niet?
4 [You] evil people have seen me [perform miracles] but you do not faithfully worship God [MET]. You want to see [me perform] a miracle [that would prove that God has sent me]. But [God] will [enable you to see] only one miracle. It will be [like] what happened [MET] to Jonah, [the prophet, who was inside a huge fish for three days and then came out of it to live again].” Then Jesus left them and sailed away, [along with us disciples].
Een boos en overspelig geslacht vraagt een teken; en geen teken zal het gegeven worden, dan het teken van Jonas den profeet. Hij liet hen staan en ging heen.
5 [We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
Bij de overvaart vergaten zijn leerlingen, brood mee te nemen.
6 [Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
Jesus sprak tot hen: Let op, en wacht u voor het zuurdeeg der farizeën en sadduceën.
7 Then, [not realizing that he was speaking figuratively], [we] said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we forgot to bring any bread!”
Ze bespraken dat met elkander, en zeiden: Dat is, omdat we geen brood hebben meegenomen.
8 Because Jesus knew what [we were saying], he said [to us], “(I am disappointed that you are discussing among yourselves, [thinking] that [it was because] you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]./Why are you discussing among yourselves thinking that it was because you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]?) [RHQ] You believe only a little [what I am able to do for you].
Jesus bemerkte het, en sprak: Wat bespreekt gij toch met elkander, kleingelovigen? Dat gij geen brood hebt?
9 (You should understand [that I can continue to do miracles to provide for what you need./] you not yet understand [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] Do you not remember that 5,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] five small loaves [and the two fish? And after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [twelve] baskets [of left-over pieces] [RHQ]!
Begrijpt gij dan nog niet, en herinnert gij u niet de vijf broden voor vijf duizend mensen, en hoeveel korven gij verzameld hebt?
10 [Do you not remember] [RHQ] [that] 4,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] seven small loaves [and a few fish]? And [after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [seven] large baskets [of left-over pieces]
En de zeven broden voor vier duizend mensen, en hoeveel manden gij verzameld hebt?
11 (You should have understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast]./Why have you not understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast?]) [RHQ] What I [was saying] was that you should [not accept what] the Pharisees and Sadducees [say, because it would affect you like] yeast [affects] [MET] [dough].”
Waarom begrijpt gij niet, dat Ik niet sprak over brood, toen ik zei: Wacht u voor het zuurdeeg der farizeën en sadduceën?
12 Then we understood that he was not talking about the yeast that is [in] bread. Instead, [he was talking] about the [wrong] teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Nu begrepen ze, dat Hij hun niet gezegd had, zich te wachten voor het zuurdeeg van brood, maar voor de leer van farizeën en sadduceën.
13 When Jesus came with [us] disciples to the region near Caesarea Philippi [town], he asked us, “Who do people say that I, the one who came from heaven, [really] am?”
Toen Jesus in de streek van Cesarea Filippi was gekomen, ondervroeg Hij zijn leerlingen: Wie zeggen de mensen, dat de Mensenzoon is?
14 We answered, “Some [people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. [Still] others [say that you are the prophet] Jeremiah or one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago, who has come back to life again].”
Ze zeiden: Sommigen zeggen: Johannes de Doper; anderen: Elias; weer anderen: Jeremias of een van de profeten.
15 Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
Hij zeide hun: Maar gij, wie zegt gij, dat Ik ben?
16 Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
Simon Petrus antwoordde: Gij zijt de Christus, de Zoon van den levenden God!
17 Then Jesus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, [God] is pleased with you. What you just said was not [SYN] revealed to you by any human. Instead, [it was] my Father [who lives] in heaven [who revealed this to you].
Jesus antwoordde: Zalig zijt gij, Simon, zoon van Jona; want niet vlees en bloed hebben u dit geopenbaard, maar mijn Vader, die in de hemel is.
18 I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
En Ik, Ik zeg u: gij zijt Petrus; en op deze steenrots zal Ik mijn Kerk bouwen, en de poorten der hel zullen haar niet overweldigen. (Hadēs g86)
19 [Then, speaking to all of us, he said], “I will enable you [(pl)] to have authority [MTY] over the groups of people over whose lives [God] rules. Whatever you forbid regarding those people [MTY], it will have been forbidden by God. Whatever you permit [MET] regarding them, it will have been permitted by God.”
En u zal Ik de sleutels geven van het rijk der hemelen. En al wat ge op aarde zult binden, zal ook in de hemel gebonden zijn; en al wat ge op aarde zult ontbinden, zal ook in de hemel ontbonden zijn.
20 Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
Toen gebood Hij zijn leerlingen, aan niemand te zeggen, dat Hij de Christus was.
21 From that time Jesus began to teach [us] disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem [city]. There the ruling elders, the chief priests, and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws would cause him to suffer and (be killed/die). Then on the third day [after that], he would become alive again.
Van toen af begon Jesus zijn leerlingen er op te wijzen, dat Hij naar Jerusalem moest gaan, dat Hij veel moest lijden van oudsten, opperpriesters en schriftgeleerden, en dat Hij gedood zou worden, en op de derde dag verrijzen.
22 [Because Peter assumed that the Messiah would not suffer and die], he took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him [for talking about suffering and dying]. He said, “Lord, may [God] never permit that to happen to you! That must certainly not happen!”
Petrus trok Hem ter zijde, en begon Hem tegen te spreken: Dat nooit, Heer; zo iets zal U niet overkomen.
23 Then Jesus turned [to look at] Peter, and he said to him, “Stop talking to me [like that] [MTY]! [Stop saying what] Satan [MET] [would say, and stop] trying to prevent [from happening what God has planned]! You are a hindrance to me, because you are not thinking like God thinks. Instead, [you are thinking] like people [think]!”
Maar Hij keerde zich om, en zei tot Petrus: Ga weg van Mij, satan; ge zijt Mij een ergernis. Want ge zijt niet bedacht op wat God wil, maar slechts op wat de mensen willen.
24 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want [to do]. [You] must be willing to [let people hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what they do to criminals whom they force to] carry a cross [MET] [to the place where the criminals will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
Toen sprak Jesus tot zijn leerlingen: Zo iemand mijn volgeling wil zijn, dan moet hij zichzelf verloochenen, zijn kruis opnemen en Mij volgen.
25 [You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed [because of being my disciples] will live [with God eternally].
Want wie zijn leven wil redden, zal het verliezen; maar wie om Mij het leven verliest, zal het vinden.
26 People [might] get everything [they want] in this world, but ([if they do not become my disciples], they would really be gaining nothing [because] they would not get eternal life!/what would they gain [if they do not become my disciples and thus] do not get eternal life?) [RHQ] (There is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life./What can people give [to God] that could enable them to gain eternal life?) [MTY, RHQ]
Wat baat het den mens, zo hij de hele wereld wint, maar schade lijdt aan zijn ziel? Of wat zal de mens in ruil geven voor zijn ziel?
27 [Listen carefully: I], the one who came from heaven, [will leave this earth, but] I will return, and the angels of heaven will accompany me. At that time I will have the glorious [radiance] that my Father has, and I will reward everyone according to what they did [when they were living on earth].
Want de Mensenzoon zal met zijn engelen komen in de heerlijkheid van zijn Vader, en dan zal Hij iedereen volgens zijn werken vergelden.
28 Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see [me], the one who came from heaven, when I return to rule. You will see this before you die!”
Voorwaar, Ik zeg u: daar zijn er onder de hier aanwezigen, die de dood niet zullen smaken, voordat ze den Mensenzoon zien komen in zijn koninkrijk.
