< Matthew 16 >

1 [Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
Da traten die Pharisäer und Sadduzäer zu ihm, die versuchten ihn und forderten, daß er sie ein Zeichen vom Himmel sehen ließe.
2 He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
Aber er antwortete und sprach: Des Abends sprechet ihr: Es wird ein schöner Tag werden, denn der Himmel ist rot;
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].
und des Morgens sprechet ihr: Es wird heute Ungewitter sein, denn der Himmel ist rot und trübe. Ihr Heuchler! Des Himmels Gestalt könnet ihr urteilen; könnet ihr denn nicht auch die Zeichen dieser Zeit urteilen?
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].
Diese böse und ehebrecherische Art sucht ein Zeichen, und soll ihr kein Zeichen gegeben werden denn das Zeichen des Propheten Jona. Und er ließ sie und ging davon.
5 [We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
Und da seine Jünger waren hinübergefahren, hatten sie vergessen, Brot mit sich zu nehmen.
6 [Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
Jesus aber sprach zu ihnen: Sehet zu und 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!”
Da dachten sie bei sich selbst und sprachen: Das wird's sein, daß wir nicht haben Brot mit uns genommen.
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].
Da das Jesus vernahm, sprach er zu ihnen: Ihr Kleingläubigen, was bekümmert ihr euch doch, daß ihr nicht habt Brot mit euch genommen?
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]!
Vernehmet ihr noch nichts? Gedenket ihr nicht an die fünf Brote unter die Fünftausend und wieviel Körbe ihr da aufhubet?
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 an die sieben Brote unter die Viertausend, und wieviel Körbe ihr da aufhubet?
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].”
Wie verstehet ihr denn nicht, daß ich euch nicht sage vom Brot, wenn ich sage: Hütet euch vor dem Sauerteige 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.
Da verstunden sie, daß er nicht gesagt hatte, daß sie sich hüten sollten vor dem Sauerteige des Brots, 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?”
Da kam Jesus in die Gegend der Stadt Cäsarea Philippi und fragte seine Jünger und sprach: Wer sagen die Leute, daß des Menschen Sohn sei?
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 sprachen: Etliche sagen, du seiest Johannes der Täufer; die andern, du seiest Elia; etliche, du seiest Jeremia oder der Propheten einer.
15 Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
Er sprach zu ihnen: Wer sagt denn ihr, daß ich sei?
16 Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
Da antwortete Simon Petrus und sprach: Du bist Christus, des lebendigen Gottes Sohn.
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].
Und Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Selig bist du, Simon, Jonas Sohn; denn Fleisch und Blut hat dir das nicht offenbart, sondern mein Vater im Himmel.
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)
Und ich sage dir auch: Du bist Petrus, und auf diesen Felsen will ich bauen meine Gemeinde, und die Pforten der Hölle sollen 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.”
Und will dir des Himmelreichs Schlüssel geben. Alles, was du auf Erden binden wirst, soll auch im Himmel gebunden sein, und alles, was du auf Erden lösen wirst, soll auch im Himmel los sein.
20 Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
Da verbot er seinen Jüngern, daß sie niemand sagen sollten, daß er Jesus, der Christ, wäre.
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 der Zeit an fing Jesus an und zeigte seinen Jüngern, wie er müßte hin gen Jerusalem gehen und viel leiden von den Ältesten und Hohenpriestern und Schriftgelehrten und getötet werden und am dritten Tage auferstehen.
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!”
Und Petrus nahm ihn zu sich, fuhr ihn an und sprach: HERR, schone dein selbst; das widerfahre dir nur nicht!
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]!”
Aber er wandte sich um und sprach zu Petrus: Heb dich, Satan, von mir! Du bist mir ärgerlich; denn du meinest nicht, was göttlich, sondern was menschlich ist.
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].
Da sprach Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: Will mir jemand nachfolgen, der verleugne sich selbst und nehme sein Kreuz auf sich und folge mir.
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 erhalten will, der wird's verlieren; wer aber sein Leben verlieret um meinetwillen, der wird's finden.
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 hülfe es dem Menschen, so er die ganze Welt gewönne und nähme doch Schaden an seiner Seele? Oder was kann der Mensch geben, damit er seine Seele wieder löse?
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].
Denn es wird je geschehen, daß des Menschen Sohn komme in der HERRLIchkeit seines Vaters mit seinen Engeln; und alsdann wird er einem jeglichen 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 etliche hier, die nicht schmecken werden den Tod, bis daß sie des Menschen Sohn kommen sehen in seinem Reich.
