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。
Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came to him, and in order to test him, asked him to 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。
In answer he said. "In the evening you say, ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is red as fire’;
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 at dawn you say, ‘It will storm today, for the sky is red and lowering.’ You know how to discern the look of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot read.
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 faithless generation is seeking a sign, but no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah." So he left them and went away.
5 們徒往對岸去的時候忘了帶餅；
When his disciples reached the other side of the lake, they had forgotten to bring 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。
Presently Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."
7 他們彼此議論說：「因為我們沒有帶餅罷！」
And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, "It is because we did not bring any 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？
When Jesus knew it he said. "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have 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 you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
10 七個餅分給四千人，你們又收拾了幾籃﹖
"Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large basketfuls 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 you do not perceive that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware off the leaven of the Pharisees and 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 they realized that he had not told them to beware of the leaven, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and 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 neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of man is?"
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。」
They replied, "Some say ‘Johnthe Baptist’; others, however, say that’He is Elijah’; others, ‘Jeremiah,’ or ‘One of the Prophets.’"
15 耶穌對他們說：你們說我是誰？」
"And who do you say that I am?" he asked them.
16 西滿伯多祿回答說：「你是默西亞，永生天主之主。」
So Simon Peter answered, "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。
"Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah," said Jesus; "for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven!
"Moreover I say to you that you are Petros (a rock), and on this petra (rock) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her. (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。」
"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose upon earth shall be loosed in the heavens."
20 他遂即嚴禁門徒，不要對任人說他是默西亞。
Then he enjoined his disciples to tell no one that he was 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。
After this Jesus the Christ began to show his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things at the hands of the elders and chief priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again.
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 aside and began to reprove him, saying. "God forbid, Master! That shall never befall 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 to Peter. "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me, because you are not intent on what pleases God, but what pleases 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 Jesus said to his disciples. "If any man wishes to come after me, let him renounce self, 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 he who wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake will 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？
What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his 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 is about to come in the glory of his Father, and his angels with him, and then will he reward each one in accordance with his actions.
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。」
Solemnly I tell you, some of those who are standing here shall not taste death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
