Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
But Jesus answered, “In the evening you say ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.’
3 ⲅ̅
But in the morning you say ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is as red as fire and threatening.’ You learn to read the sky; yet you are unable to read the signs of the times!

A wicked and unfaithful generation is asking for a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and went away.
Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
Presently Jesus said to them, “Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲧⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ
On noticing this, Jesus said, “Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, you of little faith?
Don’t you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲉⲓⲕ ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲑⲁⲃ ⲛⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ
How is it that you do not see that I was not speaking about bread? Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲑⲁⲃ ⲛⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ
Then they understood that he had told them to be on their guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

On coming into the region of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question – “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲗⲉⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲓⲉⲣⲏⲙⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ
“Some say John the Baptist,” they answered, “Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
“But you,” he said, “who do you say that I am?”
To this Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

“Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah,” Jesus replied. “For no human being has revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

Yes, and I say to you, your name is ‘Peter’ – a Rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail over it. (Hadēs g86)

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be held in heaven to be forbidden, and whatever you allow on earth will be held in heaven to be allowed.”
Then he charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.

At that time Jesus Christ began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and undergo much suffering at the hands of the elders, and chief priests, and teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. “Master,” he said, “please God that will never be your fate!”
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲕⲟⲧϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲕⲟⲩⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ
Jesus, however, turning to Peter, said, “Out of my way, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you look at things, not as God does, but as person does.”
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their cross, and follow me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life will find it.
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϯϩⲏⲩ ⲛⲟⲩ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛϯϩⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲛϥϯⲟⲥⲉ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲏ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛϣⲃⲃⲓⲱ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲯⲩⲭⲏ
What good will it do a person to gain the whole world, if he forfeits his life? Or what will a person give that is of equal value with his life?
For the Son of Man is to come in his Father’s glory, with his angels, and then he will give to everyone what his actions deserve.

I tell you, some of those who are standing here will not know death until they have seen the Son of Man coming into his kingdom.”
