Matthäus 14
Schlachter 2000
Der Geburtstag des Herodes. Der Tod Johannes des Täufers
14 Zu jener Zeit hörte der Vierfürst Herodes[a] das Gerücht von Jesus.
2 Und er sprach zu seinen Dienern: Das ist Johannes der Täufer, der ist aus den Toten auferstanden; darum wirken auch die Wunderkräfte in ihm!
3 Denn Herodes hatte den Johannes ergreifen lassen und ihn binden und ins Gefängnis bringen lassen wegen Herodias, der Frau seines Bruders Philippus.
4 Denn Johannes hatte zu ihm gesagt: Es ist dir nicht erlaubt, sie zu haben!
5 Und er wollte ihn töten, fürchtete aber die Volksmenge, denn sie hielten ihn für einen Propheten.
6 Als nun Herodes seinen Geburtstag beging, tanzte die Tochter der Herodias vor den Gästen und gefiel dem Herodes.
7 Darum versprach er ihr mit einem Eid, ihr zu geben, was sie auch fordern würde.
8 Da sie aber von ihrer Mutter angeleitet war, sprach sie: Gib mir hier auf einer Schüssel das Haupt Johannes des Täufers!
9 Und der König wurde betrübt; doch um des Eides willen und derer, die mit ihm zu Tisch saßen, befahl er, es zu geben.
10 Und er sandte hin und ließ Johannes im Gefängnis enthaupten.
11 Und sein Haupt wurde auf einer Schüssel gebracht und dem Mädchen gegeben, und sie brachte es ihrer Mutter.
12 Und seine Jünger kamen herbei, nahmen den Leib und begruben ihn und gingen hin und verkündeten es Jesus.
Die Speisung der Fünftausend
13 Und als Jesus das hörte, zog er sich von dort in einem Schiff abseits an einen einsamen Ort zurück. Und als die Volksmenge es vernahm, folgte sie ihm aus den Städten zu Fuß nach.
14 Als nun Jesus ausstieg, sah er eine große Menge; und er erbarmte sich über sie und heilte ihre Kranken.
15 Und als es Abend geworden war, traten seine Jünger zu ihm und sprachen: Der Ort ist einsam, und die Stunde ist schon vorgeschritten; entlasse das Volk, damit sie in die Dörfer gehen und sich Speise kaufen!
16 Jesus aber sprach zu ihnen: Sie haben es nicht nötig, wegzugehen. Gebt ihr ihnen zu essen!
17 Sie sprachen zu ihm: Wir haben nichts hier als fünf Brote und zwei Fische.
18 Da sprach er: Bringt sie mir hierher!
19 Und er befahl der Volksmenge, sich in das Gras zu lagern, und nahm die fünf Brote und die zwei Fische, sah zum Himmel auf, dankte, brach die Brote und gab sie den Jüngern; die Jünger aber gaben sie dem Volk.
20 Und sie aßen alle und wurden satt; und sie hoben auf, was an Brocken übrig blieb, zwölf Körbe voll.
21 Die aber gegessen hatten, waren etwa 5 000 Männer, ohne Frauen und Kinder.
Jesus geht auf dem See
22 Und sogleich nötigte Jesus seine Jünger, in das Schiff zu steigen und vor ihm ans jenseitige Ufer zu fahren, bis er die Volksmenge entlassen hätte.
23 Und nachdem er die Menge entlassen hatte, stieg er auf den Berg, um abseits zu beten; und als es Abend geworden war, war er dort allein.
24 Das Schiff aber war schon mitten auf dem See und litt Not von den Wellen; denn der Wind stand ihnen entgegen.
25 Aber um die vierte Nachtwache[b] kam Jesus zu ihnen und ging auf dem See.
26 Und als ihn die Jünger auf dem See gehen sahen, erschraken sie und sprachen: Es ist ein Gespenst!, und schrien vor Furcht.
27 Jesus aber redete sogleich mit ihnen und sprach: Seid getrost, ich bin"s; fürchtet euch nicht!
28 Petrus aber antwortete ihm und sprach: Herr, wenn du es bist, so befiehl mir, zu dir auf das Wasser zu kommen!
29 Da sprach er: Komm! Und Petrus stieg aus dem Schiff und ging auf dem Wasser, um zu Jesus zu kommen.
30 Als er aber den starken Wind sah, fürchtete er sich, und da er zu sinken anfing, schrie er und sprach: Herr, rette mich!
31 Jesus aber streckte sogleich die Hand aus, ergriff ihn und sprach zu ihm: Du Kleingläubiger, warum hast du gezweifelt?
32 Und als sie in das Schiff stiegen, legte sich der Wind.
33 Da kamen die in dem Schiff waren, warfen sich anbetend vor ihm nieder und sprachen: Wahrhaftig, du bist Gottes Sohn!
34 Und sie fuhren hinüber und kamen in das Land Genezareth.
35 Und als ihn die Männer dieser Gegend erkannten, sandten sie in die ganze Umgebung und brachten alle Kranken zu ihm.
36 Und sie baten ihn, dass sie nur den Saum seines Gewandes anrühren dürften; und alle, die ihn anrührten, wurden ganz gesund.

Matthew 14
New Life Version
John the Baptist Is Put in Prison (A)
14 At that time King Herod heard much about Jesus. 2 He said to his helpers, “This must be John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead. That is why these powerful works are done by him.” 3 For Herod had taken John and put him in prison. It was because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. 4 For John had said to him, “It is against the Law for you to have her.” 5 He would have killed John but he was afraid of the people. The people thought John was one who spoke for God.
John the Baptist Is Killed (B)
6 On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced in front of them. Herod was made happy by her. 7 He promised he would give her anything she asked. 8 Because her mother told her to do it, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist on a plate.” 9 The king was sorry. But he said for it to be given because he had promised and because of those who were eating with him. 10 He sent to the prison and had John’s head cut off. 11 It was brought in on a plate and given to the girl. She brought it to her mother. 12 Then the followers of John came and took his body and buried it. They went and told Jesus.
The Feeding of the Five Thousand (C)
13 When Jesus heard that John had been killed, He went from there by boat to a desert. He wanted to be alone. When the people knew it, they followed after Him by land from the cities. 14 When He got out of the boat, He saw many people. He had loving-pity for them and healed those who were sick.
15 When it was evening, His followers came to Him. They said, “This is a desert. The day is past. Send the people away so they may go into the towns and buy food for themselves.” 16 Jesus said to them, “They do not have to go away. Give them something to eat.” 17 They said to Him, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish.” 18 Jesus said, “Bring them to Me.” 19 He told the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves of bread and two fish. He looked up to heaven and gave thanks. He broke the loaves in pieces and gave them to His followers. The followers gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were filled. They picked up twelve baskets full of pieces of bread and fish after the people were finished eating. 21 About five thousand men ate. Women and children ate also.
Jesus Walks on the Water (D)
22 At once Jesus had His followers get into the boat. He told them to go ahead of Him to the other side while He sent the people away. 23 After He had sent them away, He went up the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone. 24 By this time the boat was far from land and was being thrown around by the waves. The wind was strong against them.
25 Just before the light of day, Jesus went to them walking on the water. 26 When the followers saw Him walking on the water, they were afraid. They said, “It is a spirit.” They cried out with fear. 27 At once Jesus spoke to them and said, “Take hope. It is I. Do not be afraid!”
28 Peter said to Jesus, “If it is You, Lord, tell me to come to You on the water.” 29 Jesus said, “Come!” Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid. He began to go down in the water. He cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 At once Jesus put out His hand and took hold of him. Jesus said to Peter, “You have so little faith! Why did you doubt?”
32 When Jesus and Peter got into the boat, the wind stopped blowing. 33 Those in the boat worshiped Jesus. They said, “For sure, You are the Son of God!”
People Are Healed at Gennesaret (E)
34 When they had gone over to the other side, they came to the land of Gennesaret. 35 When the men of that land saw it was Jesus, they sent word into all the country around. They brought all who were sick to Jesus. 36 They begged Him that they might touch the bottom of His coat. As many as touched the bottom of His coat were healed.
Matthew 14
King James Version
14 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
