German Elber 1905 (Darby Unrevidierte Elberfelder)
Als Jesus aber seine Jünger herzugerufen hatte, sprach er: Ich bin innerlich bewegt über die Volksmenge; denn schon drei Tage weilen sie bei mir und haben nichts zu essen; und ich will sie nicht entlassen, ohne daß sie gegessen haben, damit sie nicht etwa auf dem Wege verschmachten.
Was bedeutet das?
In this verse, Jesus says he feels sorry for the crowd that has been following him for three days without food and decides not to send them away hungry because they might faint on their way home.
Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine you've been playing all day with your friends but forgot to bring snacks. Your friend's mom sees this and decides to give everyone some cookies so no one gets too tired or grumpy. That’s what Jesus did for the crowd!
Historischer Hintergrund
Matthew, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, wrote this Gospel around A.D. 80-90. He was writing primarily to Jewish Christians who were familiar with Old Testament prophecies and practices. The context highlights Jesus' compassion towards a hungry crowd in a time where food scarcity was common.
Anwendung für heute
In modern times, if you see someone struggling or in need of something basic like food or help, think about what Jesus did here. Show kindness by helping out, whether it’s offering a meal to a homeless person or assisting an elderly neighbor with groceries.
