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。
Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came to Him; and, to make trial of Him, they asked Him to show them a sign in the sky.
2 耶穌回答他們說：「到了晚上，你們說：天色發紅，必要放晴。
He replied, "In the evening you say, 'It will be fine 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 rough weather to-day, for the sky is red and murky.' You learn how to distinguish the aspect of the heavens, but the signs of the times you cannot.
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 are eager for a sign; but none shall be given to them except the sign of Jonah." and He left them and went away.
5 們徒往對岸去的時候忘了帶餅；
When the disciples arrived at the other side of the Lake, they found that they had forgotten to bring any 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。
and when Jesus said to them, "See to it: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,"
7 他們彼此議論說：「因為我們沒有帶餅罷！」
they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have not brought 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？
Jesus perceived this and said, "Why are you reasoning among yourselves, you men of little faith, 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 yet understand? nor even remember the 5,000 and the five loaves, and how many basketfuls you carried away,
10 七個餅分給四千人，你們又收拾了幾籃﹖
nor the 4,000 and the seven loaves, and how many hampers you carried away?
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 you do not understand that it was not about bread that I spoke to you? But beware of the yeast 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 perceived that He had not warned them against bread-yeast, but against 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 He arrived in the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples. "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" He asked.
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。」
"Some say John the Baptist," they replied; "others Elijah; others Jeremiah or one of the Prophets."
15 耶穌對他們說：你們說我是誰？」
"But you, who do you say that I am?" He asked again.
16 西滿伯多祿回答說：「你是默西亞，永生天主之主。」
"You," replied Simon Peter, "are the Christ, the Son of the ever-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 Bar-jonah," said Jesus; "for mere human nature has not revealed this to you, but my Father in Heaven.
And I declare to you that you are Peter, and that upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the might of Hades shall not triumph over 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。」
I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of the Heavens; and whatever you bind on earth shall remain bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall remain loosed in Heaven."
20 他遂即嚴禁門徒，不要對任人說他是默西亞。
Then He urged 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。
From this time Jesus began to explain to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer much cruelty from the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life 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 taking Him to task. "Master," he said, "God forbid; this will not be your lot."
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, Adversary; you are a hindrance to me, because your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's."
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 one desires to follow me, let him renounce self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.
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 whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses 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？
Why, what benefit will it be to a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give to buy back his life?
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 soon to come in the glory of the Father with His angels, and then will He requite every man according to 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。」
I solemnly tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom."
