John 6
1 Some time later, when Jesus was in Galilee district, near the time of the Jewish Passover celebration, Jesus went [with us disciples by boat] and crossed to another place along Galilee Lake. This lake is [also called] Tiberias Lake.
Danach fuhr Jesus weg über das Meer an der Stadt Tiberias in Galiläa.
2 A large crowd of people kept following Jesus [on land] because they had been seeing the miracles he performed [by healing] sick people.
Und es zog ihm viel Volks nach, darum daß sie die Zeichen sahen, die er an den Kranken tat.
3 Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with [us] disciples [to teach us].
Jesus aber ging hinauf auf einen Berg und setzte sich daselbst mit seinen Jüngern.
4 Then he looked up and saw a great crowd of people coming toward him.
Es war aber nahe Ostern, der Juden Fest.
5 He said to Philip, “Where will we buy food for all these people to eat?”
Da hub Jesus seine Augen auf und siehet, daß viel Volks zu ihm kommt, und spricht zu Philippus: Wo kaufen wir Brot, daß diese essen?
6 He asked this only to find out if Philip believed what [Jesus could do], because Jesus already knew what he himself was going to do.
(Das sagte er aber, ihn zu versuchen; denn er wußte wohl, was er tun wollte.)
7 Philip replied to him, “[Even if we had] the amount of money a man earns in eight months, that would not be enough to buy bread so that each person could have a little bit!”
Philippus antwortete ihm: Für zweihundert Pfennig Brot ist nicht genug unter sie, daß ein jeglicher unter ihnen ein wenig nehme.
8 Another one of [us] disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s [younger] brother, said to Jesus,
Spricht zu ihm einer seiner Jünger, Andreas, der Bruder des Simon Petrus:
9 “There is a boy here who has five small barley loaves and two [cooked] fish. But (they will not help much among so many people!/what good will that do among so many people?) [RHQ]”
Es ist ein Knabe hier, der hat fünf Gerstenbrote und zwei Fische; aber was ist das unter so viele?
10 Jesus said, “Tell the people to sit down!” There was plenty of grass there, so they all sat down [comfortably]. There were about 5,000 men [among the crowd].
Jesus aber sprach: Schaffet, daß sich das Volk lagere! Es war aber viel Gras an dem Ort. Da lagerten sich bei fünftausend Mann.
11 Then Jesus took the small loaves and the fish and thanked [God] for them. Then he [gave them to us, and we] distributed the small loaves and the fish to all the people sitting on the ground. [Because God caused the food to keep increasing], everyone ate as much as they wanted.
Jesus aber nahm die Brote, dankete und gab sie den Jüngern, die Jünger aber denen, die sich gelagert hatten; desselbigengleichen auch von den Fischen, wieviel er wollte.
12 When everyone had all the food they wanted, he said to [us] disciples, “Gather up the pieces that are left over. Do not let anything be wasted!”
Da sie aber satt waren, sprach er zu seinen Jüngern: Sammelt die übrigen Brocken, daß nichts umkomme!
13 So we gathered up the pieces of the small loaves that were left over by those who had eaten. We filled twelve baskets with those pieces!
Da sammelten sie und fülleten zwölf Körbe mit Brocken von den fünf Gerstenbroten, die überblieben denen, die gespeiset worden.
14 After the people saw that miracle that Jesus had performed, [many of] them started to say, “Surely this is the prophet [like Moses] that [God promised] to send to the world!”
Da nun die Menschen das Zeichen sahen, das Jesus tat, sprachen sie: Das ist wahrlich der Prophet, der in die Welt kommen soll!
15 So, because Jesus realized that they were about to come and seize him to make him [their] king, he left them again and went up into the hills by himself.
Da Jesus nun merkete, daß sie kommen würden und ihn haschen, daß sie ihn zum Könige machten, entwich er abermal auf den Berg, er selbst alleine.
16 When it was evening, [we] disciples went down to [Galilee] Lake.
Am Abend aber gingen die Jünger hinab an das Meer
17 When it became dark and Jesus had still not joined us, [we] got into a boat and went across the lake towards Capernaum [city].
und traten in das Schiff und kamen über das Meer gen Kapernaum. Und es war schon finster worden, und Jesus war nicht zu ihnen kommen.
18 A strong wind started to blow and caused the water (to become very rough/to have high waves).
Und das Meer erhub sich von einem großen Winde.
19 After we had rowed (three or four miles/five or six kilometers), we saw Jesus coming near the boat; he was walking on the water! So we were terrified!
Da sie nun gerudert hatten bei fünfundzwanzig oder dreißig Feld Wegs, sahen sie Jesum auf dem Meer dahergehen und nahe zum Schiff kommen; und sie fürchteten sich.
20 But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Ich bin's; fürchtet euch nicht!
21 We were glad to take him into the boat. As soon as [we] did that, the boat reached the shore where [we] were going!
Da wollten sie ihn in das Schiff nehmen; und alsbald war das Schiff am Lande, da sie hinfuhren.
22 The next day the crowd of people that had stayed on the other side of the lake [were perplexed about how Jesus had left that area]. They knew that there had been only one boat there [the previous day]. They knew that we had gone away in it by ourselves. They knew that Jesus had not gone with us.
Des andern Tages sah das Volk, das diesseits des Meeres stund, daß kein ander Schiff daselbst war denn das einige, darein seine Jünger getreten waren, und daß Jesus nicht mit seinen Jüngern in das Schiff getreten war, sondern allein seine Jünger waren weggefahren.
23 Then some [men came] from Tiberias [city] in boats. [They were hoping to take some of the crowd back to Tiberias]. They arrived near the place where the people had eaten the food after Jesus had given thanks [and caused it to multiply].
Es kamen aber andere Schiffe von Tiberias nahe zu der Stätte, da sie das Brot gegessen hatten durch des HERRN Danksagung.
24 When the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor we disciples were there, [some of] them got into those boats and they sailed to Capernaum to find Jesus.
Da nun das Volk sah, daß Jesus nicht da war noch seine Jünger, traten sie auch in die Schiffe und kamen gen Kapernaum und suchten Jesum.
25 When they found him [in Capernaum] further around the lake, they asked him, “Teacher, [since you(sg) did not come in a boat], when [and how] did you get here?”
Und da sie ihn fanden jenseit des Meeres, sprachen sie zu ihm: Rabbi, wann bist du herkommen?
26 Jesus replied to them, “Listen to this carefully: Do you know why you are looking for me? It is not because you saw [me perform] miracles [and as a result have realized who I really am]. No! You are looking for me [only] because you had plenty of bread to eat [after I provided it for you by performing a miracle].
Jesus antwortete ihnen und sprach: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch, ihr suchet mich nicht darum, daß ihr Zeichen gesehen habt, sondern daß ihr von dem Brot gegessen habt und seid satt worden.
27 Stop desiring food that will soon spoil! Instead, desire to get [spiritual] food that will last forever! Yearn for eternal life! That is what I, the one who came from heaven, will give you. God [my] Father has shown that he approves of me [enabling me to do that].” (aiōnios g166)
Wirket Speise, nicht die vergänglich ist, sondern die da bleibet in das ewige Leben, welche euch des Menschen Sohn geben wird; denn denselbigen hat Gott der Vater versiegelt. (aiōnios g166)
28 Then the people asked him, “What things should we do [to please] God?”
Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Was sollen wir tun, daß wir Gottes Werke wirken?
29 Jesus replied, “What God [wants you] to do is this: He wants you to believe that [I am] the one he has sent.”
Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Das ist Gottes Werk, daß ihr an den glaubet, den er gesandt hat.
30 So they said to him, “Then perform [another] miracle so that we may see it and believe that [you came from God]. What miracle would you like to perform?
Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Was tust du für ein Zeichen, auf daß wir sehen und glauben dir? Was wirkest du?
31 Our ancestors ate the [food called] manna [that God provided for them by a miracle] in the desolate area. This is written {[The Psalmist] wrote this} [in the Scriptures] about [what Moses caused to happen: ] ‘He gave them food from heaven to eat.’ [Will you perform a miracle like that]?”
Unsere Väter haben Manna gegessen in der Wüste, wie geschrieben stehet: Er gab ihnen Brot vom Himmel zu essen.
32 So Jesus said to them, “The truth is that it was not Moses who gave your [ancestors] that food from heaven. No, it was my Father [who gave it to them. And my Father is the one] who gives you the true food from heaven.
Da sprach Jesus zu ihnen: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Mose hat euch nicht Brot vom Himmel gegeben, sondern mein Vater gibt euch das rechte Brot vom Himmel.
33 The true bread from God came down from heaven, and he is the one who will give [eternal] life to [the people of] the world [MTY].”
Denn dies ist das Brot Gottes, das vom Himmel kommt und gibt der Welt das Leben.
34 [Not understanding what he meant], they said to him, “Sir, give us that kind of bread all the time!”
Da sprachen sie zu ihm: HERR, gib uns allewege solch Brot!
35 Jesus said to them, “[Just like] food [MET] [sustains physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life. Those who [eat ordinary food and drinks will later be hungry and thirsty]. But those who come to me [to receive that life] will never again [lack anything spiritually].
Jesus aber sprach zu ihnen: Ich bin das Brot des Lebens. Wer zu mir kommt, den wird nicht hungern; und wer an mich glaubet, den wird nimmermehr dürsten.
36 I told you before that you have seen my [miracles, but after seeing them, instead of understanding who I am], you have not believed in me.
Aber ich hab's euch gesagt, daß ihr mich gesehen habt und glaubet doch nicht.
37 All the people that [my] Father entrusts to me will come to me, and I will certainly (welcome/never send away) [LIT] anyone who comes to me.
Alles, was mir mein Vater gibt, das kommt zu mir; und wer zu mir kommt, den werde ich nicht hinausstoßen.
38 When I came down from heaven, it was not to do what I want. Instead, I came to do what ([God/my Father]), who sent me, wants.
Denn ich bin vom Himmel kommen, nicht daß ich meinen Willen tue, sondern des, der mich gesandt hat.
39 What the one who sent me wants is that I (keep forever all/never lose any) [LIT] of those whom he has entrusted to me. He wants me to cause all of them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].
Das ist aber der Wille des Vaters, der mich gesandt hat, daß ich nichts verliere von allem, was er mir gegeben hat, sondern daß ich's auferwecke am Jüngsten Tage.
40 [Long ago in the desolate area when those who were bitten by snakes looked at the bronze replica of a snake, they were healed] [MET]. What my Father wants is that [similarly] everyone who looks at [what] I [have done] and believes in me will have eternal life. I will cause them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].” (aiōnios g166)
Das ist aber der Wille des, der mich gesandt hat, daß, wer den Sohn siehet und glaubet an ihn, habe das ewige Leben; und ich werde ihn auferwecken am Jüngsten Tage. (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the one who is [like] true bread who came down from heaven.”
Da murreten die Juden darüber, daß er sagte: Ich bin das Brot, das vom Himmel kommen ist,
42 They said, “(This man is Jesus, the son of Joseph!/Isn’t this man the son of Joseph?) [RHQ] We know [the names of] both his father and his mother. [He certainly did not come from heaven], so (he is [lying] by saying ‘I came from heaven.’/why is he now saying, ‘I came from heaven?’) [RHQ]”
und sprachen: Ist dieser nicht Jesus, Josephs Sohn, des Vater und Mutter wir kennen? Wie spricht er denn: Ich bin vom Himmel kommen?
43 Jesus replied to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves [about what I just said]!
Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Murret nicht untereinander!
44 [My] Father, who sent me, makes people want to come to me. No others will come to me [to receive eternal life]. Those who come to me are the only ones who will believe in me. I will (cause them to be alive again/raise them [from the dead]) (on the last day/on the [judgment] day).
Es kann niemand zu mir kommen, es sei denn, daß ihn ziehe der Vater, der mich gesandt hat; und ich werde ihn auferwecken am Jüngsten Tage.
45 It was written ([by one of the prophets/by the prophet Isaiah]) {([One of the prophets/The prophet Isaiah]) wrote} [about all those who will trust in me], ‘God will teach them all.’ Everyone who listens to what [my] Father [says] and learns from him will (come to/believe in) me.
Es stehet geschrieben in den Propheten: Sie werden alle von Gott gelehret sein. Wer es nun höret vom Vater und lernet es, der kommt zu mir.
46 I came from God. I am the only one who has seen [my] Father. No one else has seen him.
Nicht daß jemand den Vater habe gesehen, außer dem, der vom Vater ist, der hat den Vater gesehen.
47 Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Wer an mich glaubet, der hat das ewige Leben. (aiōnios g166)
48 [Just like] food [MET] [sustains your physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life.
Ich bin das Brot des Lebens.
49 Even though your ancestors ate the manna [while they were traveling] in the desolate area, they died [anyway].
Eure Väter haben Manna gegessen in der Wüste und sind gestorben.
50 But the bread [I am talking about] is something that came down from heaven. If people eat that bread, their [spirits] will never die.
Dies ist das Brot, das vom Himmel kommt, auf daß, wer davon isset, nicht sterbe.
51 I am the one who came down from heaven to enable people to have [spiritual] life. If people take what I will give them, they will live forever. What I will give them is my flesh, which I will give to [all the people in] [MTY] the world in order that they may have [spiritual] life.” (aiōn g165)
Ich bin das lebendige Brot, vom Himmel kommen. Wer von diesem Brot essen wird, der wird leben in Ewigkeit. Und das Brot, das ich geben werde, ist mein Fleisch, welches ich geben werde für das Leben der Welt. (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] began to argue among themselves. They said, “(There is no way this man can give us his flesh to eat!/How can this man give us his flesh to eat?)” [RHQ]
Da zanketen die Juden untereinander und sprachen: Wie kann dieser uns sein Fleisch zu essen geben?
53 So, [speaking figuratively of the need for them to accept for themselves the benefits of his sacrificing himself and shedding his blood to atone for their sins] [MET], Jesus said to them, “Listen carefully to this: [Although] I am the one who came from heaven, if you do not eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will not have eternal life.
Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Werdet ihr nicht essen das Fleisch des Menschensohnes und trinken sein Blut, so habt ihr kein Leben in euch.
54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will cause them to become alive again at (the last day/the [judgment] day), (aiōnios g166)
Wer mein Fleisch isset und trinket mein Blut, der hat das ewige Leben, und ich werde ihn am Jüngsten Tage auferwecken. (aiōnios g166)
55 because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.
Denn mein Fleisch ist die rechte Speise, und mein Blut ist der rechte Trank.
56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with them.
Wer mein Fleisch isset und trinket mein Blut, der bleibt in mir und ich in ihm.
57 [My] Father, who is the [source of everything that] lives, sent me, and I live because [my] Father has [given me life]. Similarly those who eat my [flesh] will live [eternally] because of what I [do for them].
Wie mich gesandt hat der lebendige Vater, und ich lebe um des Vaters willen, also, wer mich isset, derselbige wird auch leben um meinetwillen.
58 [I am] the true bread that came down from heaven. Although our ancestors ate [manna], they [later] died [anyway]. But those who eat this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
Dies ist das Brot, das vom Himmel kommen ist, nicht wie eure Väter haben Manna gegessen und sind gestorben. Wer dies Brot isset, der wird leben in Ewigkeit. (aiōn g165)
59 He said this while he was teaching people in (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) in Capernaum.
Solches sagte er in der Schule, da er lehrete zu Kapernaum.
60 After they heard him say that, many of his disciples said, “What he is teaching is hard [to understand]; (it is very difficult for anyone to accept it!/how can anyone accept it?) [RHQ]”
Viele nun seiner Jünger, die das höreten, sprachen: Das ist eine harte Rede, wer kann sie hören?
61 Jesus was aware that his disciples were grumbling about it, so he said to them, “(I am sorry that this is offending you./Is this offending you?) [RHQ]
Da Jesus aber bei sich selbst merkete, daß seine Jünger darüber murreten, sprach er zu ihnen: Ärgert euch das?
62 ([Perhaps you will believe my message] if you see me, the one who came from heaven, ascending [there] to where I was before!/[(What will you think if you see me], the one who came from heaven, ascending [there] to where I was before)?) [RHQ]
Wie, wenn ihr denn sehen werdet des Menschen Sohn auffahren dahin; da er zuvor war?
63 [God’s] Spirit is the one who gives people [eternal] life. Human efforts are no help at all [for giving people eternal life]. The message I have spoken to you [gives spiritual] life (OR, [comes from] God’s Spirit [and gives eternal] life.)
Der Geist ist's, der da lebendig macht; das Fleisch ist kein nütze. Die Worte, die ich rede, die sind Geist und sind Leben.
64 But there are some of you who do not believe [my message.” Jesus said that] because he knew from the time he started [MTY] [his ministry] which of them would not believe his message. He also knew who would (betray him/enable his enemies to seize him).
Aber es sind etliche unter euch, die glauben nicht. Denn Jesus wußte von Anfang wohl, welche nicht glaubend waren, und welcher ihn verraten würde.
65 Then he continued by saying, “That is why I told you that only those whom my Father has enabled [to believe in me] will come to me [and receive eternal life].”
Und er sprach: Darum habe ich euch gesagt: Niemand kann zu mir kommen, es sei ihm denn von meinem Vater gegeben.
66 From that [time], many of his disciples left him and no longer went with him.
Von dem an gingen seiner Jünger viel hinter sich und wandelten hinfort nicht mehr mit ihm.
67 So he said to [us] twelve [apostles], “You do not want to leave me also, do you?”
Da sprach Jesus zu den Zwölfen: Wollt ihr auch weggehen?
68 Simon Peter replied to him, “Lord, [we] will not [leave you], [because] (there is no other person [like you] to whom we can go!/what other person is there like [you] to whom we can go?) [RHQ] You have the message about eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
Da antwortete ihm Simon Petrus: HERR, wohin sollen wir gehen? Du hast Worte des ewigen Lebens; (aiōnios g166)
69 We have come to believe for certain that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
und wir haben geglaubet und erkannt, daß du bist Christus, der Sohn des lebendigen Gottes.
70 Then Jesus replied to us, “[You are saying that as though all] you twelve [men] whom I have chosen [RHQ] believe that. But one of you is [under the control of] Satan!”
Jesus antwortete ihm: Hab' ich nicht euch Zwölfe erwählet? und euer einer ist ein Teufel.
71 He was talking about Judas, the [son] of Simon, from Kerioth [village]. [Even though] Judas was one of us twelve [apostles], he was about (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
Er redete aber von dem Judas, Simons Sohn, Ischariot; derselbige verriet ihn hernach und war der Zwölfen einer.
