Matthew 16
1 [Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
Die Pharisäer und die Sadduzäer traten zu ihm hin. Sie wollten ihn versuchen und verlangten von ihm, er solle sie ein Zeichen vom Himmel sehen lassen.
2 He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
Er aber gab ihnen zur Antwort: "Am Abend sagt ihr: 'Es wird schön Wetter, denn der Himmel ist feuerrot.'
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].
Am Morgen: 'Heute gibt es Sturm, denn der Himmel ist trübrot.' Wie der Himmel aussieht, wisset ihr zu deuten, nicht aber könnt ihr es bei den Zeichen der Zeit.
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].
Ein böses und ein ehebrecherisches Geschlecht verlangt ein Zeichen. Jedoch wird ihm kein anderes Zeichen gegeben werden, als das Zeichen des Jonas." Damit ließ er sie stehen und ging weg.
5 [We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
Seine Jünger langten am andern Ufer an; sie hatten aber vergessen, Brote mitzunehmen.
6 [Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
Und Jesus sprach zu ihnen: "Hütet euch vor dem Sauerteig der Pharisäer und Sadduzäer."
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!”
Sie dachten hin und her und sprachen schließlich: "Wir haben ja kein Brot bei uns."
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 merkte dies und sprach: "Was denkt ihr da bei euch, Kleingläubige, daß ihr kein Brot mitgenommen habt?
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]!
Begreift ihr denn immer noch nicht? Erinnert ihr euch nicht mehr an die fünf Brote für die Fünftausend und wieviel Körbe ihr noch bekommen habt?
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]
Auch nicht mehr an die sieben Brote für die Viertausend und wieviel Körbe ihr noch bekommen habt?
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].”
Warum begreift ihr denn nicht, daß ich nicht von Broten zu euch gesprochen habe? Doch hütet euch vor dem Sauerteig der Pharisäer und Sadduzäer."
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.
Nunmehr begriffen sie, daß er es nicht so gemeint hätte, als sollten sie sich vor dem Sauerteig des Brotes hüten, sondern vor der Lehre der Pharisäer und Sadduzäer.
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?”
Und Jesus kam in das Gebiet von Cäsarea Philippi. Er fragte seine Jünger: "Für wen halten die Leute den Menschensohn?"
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].”
Sie sagte: "Die einen für Johannes den Täufer, andre für Elias, wieder andre für Jeremias oder für den Einen der Propheten."
15 Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
Er fragte weiter: "Und ihr, für wen haltet ihr mich?"
16 Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
Da antwortete Simon Petrus: "Du bist der Christus, der Sohn des lebendigen Gottes."
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].
Darauf sprach Jesus zu ihm: "Selig bist du, Simon, Sohn des Jonas. Nicht Fleisch und Blut hat dir das geoffenbart, sondern mein Vater, der in den Himmeln ist.
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)
Ich sage dir: Du bist Petrus; auf diesen Felsen will ich meine Kirche bauen, und die Pforten der Hölle werden sie nicht überwältigen. (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.”
Ich werde dir die Schlüssel des Himmelreiches geben; was immer du auf Erden binden wirst, das wird auch in den Himmeln gebunden sein, was immer du auf Erden lösen wirst, das wird auch in den Himmeln gelöst sein."
20 Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
Sodann gebot er seinen Jüngern, es niemandem zu sagen, daß er der Christus sei.
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.
Von jetzt an begann Jesus, seinen Jüngern klarzumachen, daß er nach Jerusalem gehen müsse und vieles leiden werde von den Ältesten, den Oberpriestern und den Schriftgelehrten, daß er getötet werde müsse, am dritten Tage aber wieder auferstehen werde.
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!”
Da nahm Petrus ihn beiseite und wollte ihm ernstlich zureden: "Gott bewahre, Herr! Das sei ferne von dir!"
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]!”
Da wandte er sich um und sprach zu Petrus: "Hinweg von mir, du Satan! Du bist für mich ein Ärgernis; du hast nicht Sinn für das Göttliche, sondern für das Menschliche."
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].
Dann sprach Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: "Wer mir nachfolgen will, der verleugne sich selbst, nehme sein Kreuz auf sich und folge mir nach.
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].
Denn wer sein Leben sich erhalten will, der wird es verlieren, wer aber sein Leben meinetwegen verliert, der wird es erhalten.
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]
Was nützt es dem Menschen, wenn er die ganze Welt gewänne, dabei aber doch sein Leben verlieren würde. Oder was möchte auch einer geben als Kaufpreis für sein Leben?
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].
Der Menschensohn wird in der Herrlichkeit seines Vaters erscheinen samt seinen Engeln; er wird dann jedem vergelten nach seinen Werken.
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!”
Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Es stehen solche hier, die den Tod nicht kosten werden, bis sie den Menschensohn in seinem Reiche kommen sehen."
