馬太福音 16
1 法利賽人和撒都該人來試探耶穌，請他從天上顯個神蹟給他們看。
And Pharisees and Sadducees came near, tempting him, and asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 耶穌回答說：「晚上天發紅，你們就說：『天必要晴。』
But he answered, and said to them: When it is evening ye say, It will be fair weather; for the heavens are red.
3 早晨天發紅，又發黑，你們就說：『今日必有風雨。』你們知道分辨天上的氣色，倒不能分辨這時候的神蹟。
And in the morning ye say, There will be a storm to-day; for the heavens are sadly red. Ye hypocrites, ye are intelligent to discover the aspect of the heavens, but the signs of this time ye have no skill to discern.
4 一個邪惡淫亂的世代求神蹟，除了約拿的神蹟以外，再沒有神蹟給他看。」耶穌就離開他們去了。
A wicked and adulterous generation asketh for a sign; but no sign shall be given it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
5 門徒渡到那邊去，忘了帶餅。
And when his disciples had come to the farther shore, they had forgotten to take bread with them.
6 耶穌對他們說：「你們要謹慎，防備法利賽人和撒都該人的酵。」
And he said to them: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
7 門徒彼此議論說：「這是因為我們沒有帶餅吧。」
And they reasoned among themselves, and said, it was because they had taken no bread.
8 耶穌看出來，就說：「你們這小信的人，為甚麼因為沒有餅彼此議論呢？
But Jesus knew it and said to them: O ye small in faith! why reason ye among yourselves because ye have taken no bread?
9 你們還不明白嗎？不記得那五個餅分給五千人、又收拾了多少籃子的零碎嗎？
Have ye not yet understood? Do ye not remember the five loaves and the five thousand, and the many baskets ye took up?
10 也不記得那七個餅分給四千人、又收拾了多少筐子的零碎嗎？
Nor the seven loaves and the four thousand, and the many baskets ye took up?
11 我對你們說：『要防備法利賽人和撒都該人的酵』，這話不是指着餅說的，你們怎麼不明白呢？」
How is it that ye do not understand that it was not concerning bread that I spoke to you; but that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 門徒這才曉得他說的不是叫他們防備餅的酵，乃是防備法利賽人和撒都該人的教訓。
Then understood they, that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 耶穌到了凱撒利亞‧腓立比的境內，就問門徒說：「人說我－－人子是誰？」
And when Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he questioned his disciples, and said: What do men say concerning me, that I the Son of man, am?
14 他們說：「有人說是施洗的約翰；有人說是以利亞；又有人說是耶利米或是先知裏的一位。」
And they said: Some say that thou art John the Baptizer; but others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 耶穌說：「你們說我是誰？」
He said to them: But, who do ye yourselves say that I am?
16 西門‧彼得回答說：「你是基督，是永生上帝的兒子。」
Simon Cephas answered and said: Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
17 耶穌對他說：「西門‧巴‧約拿，你是有福的！因為這不是屬血肉的指示你的，乃是我在天上的父指示的。
Jesus answered, and said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonas; for flesh and blood have not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
Also I say to thee, that thou art Cephas: and upon this rock, I will build my church: and the gates of death shall not triumph over it. (Hadēs g86)
19 我要把天國的鑰匙給你，凡你在地上所捆綁的，在天上也要捆綁；凡你在地上所釋放的，在天上也要釋放。」
To thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever thou shalt unbind on earth, shall be unbound in heaven.
20 當下，耶穌囑咐門徒，不可對人說他是基督。
Then he enjoined on his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was the Messiah.
21 從此，耶穌才指示門徒，他必須上耶路撒冷去，受長老、祭司長、文士許多的苦，並且被殺，第三日復活。
And from that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he was to go up to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the Elders, and from the chief priests and Scribes, and be killed, and on the third day arise.
22 彼得就拉着他，勸他說：「主啊，萬不可如此！這事必不臨到你身上。」
And Cephas took him, and began to rebuke him; and he said: Far be it from thee, my Lord, that this should be to thee.
23 耶穌轉過來，對彼得說：「撒但，退我後邊去吧！你是絆我腳的；因為你不體貼上帝的意思，只體貼人的意思。」
But he turned, and said to Cephas: Get thee behind me, Satan: Thou art a stumbling block to me; for thou thinkest not the things of God, but the things of men.
24 於是耶穌對門徒說：「若有人要跟從我，就當捨己，背起他的十字架來跟從我。
Then said Jesus to his disciples: If any one desireth to come after me, let him deny himself; and let him bear his cross, and come after me.
25 因為，凡要救自己生命的，必喪掉生命；凡為我喪掉生命的，必得着生命。
For, whoever chooseth to preserve his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
26 人若賺得全世界，賠上自己的生命，有甚麼益處呢？人還能拿甚麼換生命呢？
For what will it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and shall lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 人子要在他父的榮耀裏，同着眾使者降臨；那時候，他要照各人的行為報應各人。
For the Son of man is to come in the glory of his Father, with all his holy angels; and then will he recompense to every man as his deeds are.
28 我實在告訴你們，站在這裏的，有人在沒嘗死味以前必看見人子降臨在他的國裏。」
Verily I say to you: There are some persons standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
