馬太福音 16
1 利塞人和撒杜塞人，為試探耶穌，前來求他給他們顯一個來自天上的徵兆。
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven.
2 耶穌回答他們說：「到了晚上，你們說：天色發紅，必要放晴。
He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, all of you say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 早上，天色又紅又黑，你們說：今日必有風雨；你們知道辨別天像，卻不能辨別時期的徵兆。
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O all of you hypocrites, all of you can discern the face of the sky; but can all of you not discern the signs of the times?
4 邪惡淫亂的世代要求徵兆，但除了約納先知的徵兆外，必不給它其他的徵兆。」耶穌遂離開他們走了。
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
5 們徒往對岸去的時候忘了帶餅；
And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
6 耶穌就對他們說：「你們應當謹慎防備法利塞人和撒杜塞人的酵母。
Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 他們彼此議論說：「因為我們沒有帶餅罷！」
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
8 耶穌知道了就說：「小信德的人！你們為什麼竟彼此議論你們沒有帶餅呢？
Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O all of you of little faith, why reason all of you among yourselves, because all of you have brought no bread?
9 你們還不明白嗎？ 你們不記得五個餅分給五千人，你們又收拾了幾筐？
Do all of you not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets all of you took up?
10 七個餅分給四千人，你們又收拾了幾籃﹖
Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets all of you took up?
11 怎麼你們不明白，我不是指著餅向你們說的呢﹖你們應當防備法利塞人和塞杜塞人的酵母！」
How is it that all of you do not understand that I spoke it not to you concerning bread, that all of you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 他們這纔明白耶穌不是說防備餅的酵母，而是說防備法利塞人和撒杜塞人的教訓。
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 耶穌來到了裴理伯的凱撒勒雅境內，就問們徒說：「人們說人子是誰？
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 他們說是洗者若翰；有人說是厄里亞；也有人說是耶肋米亞，或先知中的一位。」
And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 耶穌對他們說：你們說我是誰？」
He says unto them, But whom say all of you that I am?
16 西滿伯多祿回答說：「你是默西亞，永生天主之主。」
And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 耶穌回答他說：「約翰的兒子西滿，你是有福的，因為不是肉和血啟示了你，而是我在天之父。
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 我要將天國的鑰匙交給你：凡你在地上所束縛的，在天上也要被束縛；凡你在地上所釋放的，在天上也要被釋放。」
And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 他遂即嚴禁門徒，不要對任人說他是默西亞。
Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 從那時起，耶穌就開始向們徒說明：他必須上耶路撒冷去，要由長老、司祭長和經師們受到許多痛苦，並將被殺，但第三天要復活。
From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 伯多祿便拉耶穌到一邊，諫責他說：「主，千萬不可！這事絕不會臨到你身上！」
Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from you, Lord: this shall not be unto you.
23 耶穌轉身對伯多祿說：「撒殫，退到我後面去！你是我的絆腳石，因為你所體會的不是天主的事，而是人的事。」
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: you are an offence unto me: for you savour not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 於是，耶穌對們徒說：「誰若願意跟隨我，該棄絕自己，背著自己的十字架來跟隨我，
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 因為誰若願意救自己的性命，必要喪失性命；但誰若為我的原故，喪失自己的性命，必要獲得性命。
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 人縱然賺得了全世界，卻賠上了自己的靈魂，為他有什麼益處？或者，人還能拿什麼作為自己靈魂的代價？
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 為將來人子要在他父的光榮中同他的天使降來，那時，他要按照每人的行為予以賞報。
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 我時在告訴你們：站在這裏的人中，就有些人在未嘗到死味以前，必要看見人子來到自己的國內。」
Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
