Matthew 14
1 During that time Herod [Antipas], the ruler, heard reports about Jesus [performing miracles].
Zu der Zeit kam das Gerücht von Jesu vor den Vierfürsten Herodes.
2 He said to his servants: “That must be John the Baptizer. He must have risen from the dead, and that is why he has power to perform miracles.”
Und er sprach zu seinen Knechten: Dieser ist Johannes der Täufer; er ist von den Toten auferstanden, darum tut er solche Taten.
3 The reason [Herod thought that was this: Herod had married] Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, [while Philip was still living. So] John had been saying to him, “[What] you [did by] marrying [your brother’s wife while your brother is still alive is against God’s] law!” Then, to [please] Herodias, Herod [told his soldiers] to arrest John. They bound him with chains and put him in prison.
Denn Herodes hatte Johannes gegriffen, gebunden und in das Gefängnis gelegt von wegen der Herodias, seines Bruders Philippus Weib.
Denn Johannes hatte zu ihm gesagt: Es ist nicht recht, daß du sie habest.
5 Herod wanted to have John executed, but he was afraid that the people [who had accepted what John taught would riot if he did that], because they believed that John was a prophet.
Und er hätte ihn gerne getötet, fürchtete sich aber vor dem Volk; denn sie hielten ihn für einen Propheten.
6 But when Herod [gave a party to celebrate] his birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for [his guests]. This pleased Herod.
Da aber Herodes seinen Jahrestag beging, da tanzte die Tochter der Herodias vor ihnen. Das gefiel Herodes wohl.
7 So he promised to give her whatever she asked, and he asked God to punish him if he did not do what he had promised.
Darum verhieß er ihr mit einem Eide, er wollte ihr geben, was sie fordern würde.
8 [So Herodias’ daughter went and asked her mother what to ask for]. Her mother told her to ask for John the Baptizer’s head. [So] her daughter [went back and] said [to Herod]: “[Cut off] the head of John the Baptizer and [please] bring it here on a platter [so that my mother can know for sure that he is dead!]”
Und als sie zuvor von ihrer Mutter zugerichtet war, sprach sie: Gib mir her auf einer Schüssel das Haupt Johannes des Täufers!
9 The king was distressed because he now knew he should not have made that promise to her. [But] because he had made an oath [in front of] his guests [when he made that promise], and [he did not want] them [to think that he would not do what he had promised], he commanded that [the girl] be given [what she requested].
Und der König ward traurig; doch um des Eides willen und derer, die mit ihm zu Tische saßen, befahl er's ihr zu geben.
10 He sent [the executioner to go to] the prison and to cut off John’s head.
Und schickte hin und enthauptete Johannes im Gefängnis.
11 [The executioner did that, and] put John’s head on a platter and gave it to the girl. Then the girl took it to her mother.
Und sein Haupt ward hergetragen in einer Schüssel und dem Mägdlein gegeben; und sie brachte es ihrer Mutter.
12 John’s disciples then went [to the prison], took John’s body and buried it, and they reported to Jesus [what had happened].
Da kamen seine Jünger und nahmen seinen Leib und begruben ihn und kamen und verkündigten das Jesu.
13 After Jesus heard that, he took [just us disciples] with him and we went by boat [on Galilee Lake to an uninhabited place]. Matthew 14:13-21 After the crowds heard [that we had gone to an uninhabited place], they [left their towns and] followed Jesus, walking along the shore.
Da das Jesus hörete, wich er von dannen auf einem Schiff in eine Wüste allein. Und da das Volk das hörete, folgte es ihm nach zu Fuß aus den Städten.
14 When Jesus came [to the shore], he saw a large crowd of people [who had gathered there, waiting for him]. He felt sorry for them, and he healed those [among them who were] sick.
Und Jesus ging hervor und sah das große Volk; und es jammerte ihn derselbigen und heilete ihre Kranken.
15 When it was [nearly] evening, we disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, and it is very late. Dismiss the crowds so that they can go into the [nearby] towns. [Have them do that so that they can] buy food for themselves.”
Am Abend aber traten seine Jünger zu ihm und sprachen: Dies ist eine Wüste, und die Nacht fällt daher; laß das Volk von dir, daß sie hin in die Märkte gehen und ihnen Speise kaufen.
16 But Jesus said to us, “They do not need to leave [to get food. Instead], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!”
Aber Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Es ist nicht not, daß sie hingehen; gebt ihr ihnen zu essen!
17 We said to him, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two [cooked] fish here!”
Sie sprachen: Wir haben hier nichts denn fünf Brote und zwei Fische.
18 He said [to us], “Bring them to me!”
Und er sprach: Bringet mir sie her!
19 He told the people [who had gathered there] to sit on the grass. Then he took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven, thanked [God for them], and broke [them into pieces]. Then he gave them to us disciples, and we distributed them to the crowd.
Und er hieß das Volk sich lagern auf das Gras und nahm die fünf Brote und die zwei Fische, sah auf gen Himmel und dankte und brach's und gab die Brote den Jüngern, und die Jünger gaben sie dem Volk.
20 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they had enough to eat. Then we [disciples] gathered the pieces that were left over, [and we] filled twelve baskets with them.
Und sie aßen alle und wurden satt und huben auf, was übrigblieb von Brocken, zwölf Körbe voll.
21 Those who ate were about 5,000 men. [We did] not [count the] women and children!
Die aber gegessen hatten, der waren bei fünftausend Mann ohne Weiber und Kinder.
22 Right after that happened, Jesus told us disciples to get in the boat and to go ahead of him further around [the lake] while he dismissed the crowds.
Und alsbald trieb Jesus seine Jünger, daß sie in das Schiff traten und vor ihm herüberfuhren, bis er das Volk von sich ließe.
23 After he dismissed them, he went up into the hills to pray by himself. When it was evening, he was [still] there alone.
Und da er das Volk von sich gelassen hatte, stieg er auf einen Berg alleine, daß er betete. Und am Abend war er alleine daselbst.
24 [By this time] we were already many hundred meters from the shore. The boat was being severely tossed around by the waves {The waves were severely tossing the boat} because the wind was [blowing] against [it].
Und das Schiff war schon mitten, auf dem Meer und litt Not von den Wellen; denn der Wind war ihnen wider.
25 [Then Jesus came down from the hills to the lake]. Some time between three and six o’clock in the morning he walked on the water toward our [boat].
Aber in der vierten Nachtwache kam Jesus zu ihnen und ging auf dem Meer.
26 When we disciples saw someone walking on the water, we thought that [we must be seeing] a ghost. We were terrified, and we screamed out because we were afraid.
Und da ihn die Jünger sahen auf dem Meer gehen, erschraken sie und sprachen: Es ist ein Gespenst! und schrieen vor Furcht.
27 Immediately Jesus said to us, “Cheer up! It is I. Do not be afraid!”
Und alsbald redete Jesus mit ihnen und sprach: Seid getrost, ich bin's; fürchtet euch nicht!
28 Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is you, tell me to walk on the water to you!”
Petrus aber antwortete ihm und sprach: HERR, bist du es, so heiß mich zu dir kommen auf dem Wasser.
29 Then Jesus said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
Und er sprach: Komm her! Und Petrus trat aus dem Schiff und ging auf dem Wasser, daß er zu Jesu käme.
30 But when Peter looked at the [tossing waves which] the strong wind [caused], he became afraid. He began to sink, and cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Er sah aber einen starken Wind. Da erschrak er und hub an zu sinken, schrie und sprach: HERR, hilf mir!
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and grabbed him. He said to Peter, “You only trust a little bit [in my power] (Why did you doubt [that I could keep you from sinking]?/You should not have doubted [that I could keep you from sinking]!) [RHQ]”
Jesus aber reckte bald die Hand aus und ergriff ihn und sprach zu ihm: O du Kleingläubiger, warum zweifeltest du?
32 Then Jesus and Peter got in the boat, and the wind [immediately] stopped blowing.
Und sie traten in das Schiff, und der Wind legte sich.
33 All [of us disciples] who were in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the (Son of/man two is also) God!”
Die aber im Schiff waren, kamen und fielen vor ihm nieder und sprachen: Du bist wahrlich Gottes Sohn.
34 When we had gone further around [the lake in the boat], we came ashore at Gennesaret [town].
Und sie schifften hinüber und kämen in das Land Genezareth.
35 The men of that area recognized Jesus. So they sent [people to inform those who lived] in that whole surrounding region [MTY] [that Jesus was in their area]. [So the people] brought to Jesus all the sick people [who lived in that region].
Und da die Leute am selbigen Ort sein gewahr wurden, schickten sie aus in das ganze Land umher und brachten allerlei Ungesunde zu ihm
36 [The sick people] kept begging him to allow them to touch [him or] just to touch the edge of his robe [so that they would be healed]. And all who touched [him or his robe] were healed {he healed all who touched [him or his clothing]}.
und baten ihn, daß sie nur seines Kleides Saum anrühreten. Und alle, die da anrühreten, wurden gesund.
