Mark 16:14

German LUT17 Lutherbibel 2017

Zuletzt, als die Elf zu Tisch saßen, offenbarte er sich ihnen und schalt ihren Unglauben und ihres Herzens Härte, dass sie nicht geglaubt hatten denen, die ihn gesehen hatten als Auferstandenen.

Was bedeutet das?

This verse says that after Jesus rose from the dead, he appeared to his eleven disciples while they were eating. He was upset with them for not believing those who had already seen him alive.

Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine if your friend told you about a cool magic trick they saw, but you didn't believe them until you saw it yourself. That's kind of what happened here; Jesus was frustrated because his friends didn't trust their own friends' stories about seeing him after he came back to life.

Historischer Hintergrund

This verse is from the Gospel of Mark, written by John Mark in the first century AD. It was aimed at a mixed audience including both Jews and Gentiles, providing an account of Jesus's resurrection and appearances post-resurrection, set against the backdrop of early Christian communities grappling with disbelief.

Anwendung für heute

Imagine you're part of a team working on an important project, but some members are skeptical about the feasibility of your ideas. Just like Jesus gently but firmly corrected his disciples for their lack of belief, it might be necessary to share strong evidence or personal experiences that can help boost confidence and conviction in your team.
