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。
Now the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested Jesus, 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 them, “When evening comes you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is 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 you say, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times?
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。
An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” Then he left them and went away.
5 門徒渡到那邊去，忘了帶餅。
When his disciples reached the other side of the sea, they realized that they had forgotten to bring bread.
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。」
Then Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 門徒彼此議論說：「這是因為我們沒有帶餅吧。」
So they discussed this among themselves, saying, “He must have said this because we brought 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？
Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you discussing among yourselves, O you of little faith, the fact that you brought 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？
Do you not yet understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you collected?
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？
Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you collected?
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 could you not understand that I was not talking about bread when I told you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and 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 they understood that he had not told them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and 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？」
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say 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。」
They said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others say that yoʋ are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 耶穌說：「你們說我是誰？」
He said to them, “But who do you 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 Peter answered, “Yoʋ are the Christ, 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。
And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are yoʋ, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to yoʋ, but my Father in heaven.
And I tell yoʋ that yoʋ are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against 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。」
I will give yoʋ the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever yoʋ bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever yoʋ loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
20 當下，耶穌囑咐門徒，不可對人說他是基督。
Then he commanded his disciples to tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
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。
From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised up.
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。」
So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “God forbid, Lord! This shall certainly not happen to yoʋ.”
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 around and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! Yoʋ are a stumbling block to me, for yoʋ are not thinking about 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 Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to be one of my disciples, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow 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 wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will 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 does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what can a person 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 will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.
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。」
Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
