Matthew 16
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees who came, testing, demanded him to exhibit to them a sign from the sky.
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。
2 But having answered, he said to them, When it becomes evening, ye say, Fair weather, for the sky is red.
耶穌回答說：「晚上天發紅，你們就說：『天必要晴。』
3 And at morning, Bad weather today, for the sky is red, being gloomy. Hypocrites! Ye indeed know how to discern the face of the sky, but the signs of the times ye are not able.
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。
4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet. And having left them behind, he departed.
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。
5 And his disciples having come to the other side, they forgot to take loaves.
門徒渡到那邊去，忘了帶餅。
6 And Jesus said to them, Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
耶穌對他們說：「你們要謹慎，防備法利賽人和撒都該人的酵。」
7 And they deliberated among themselves, saying, We took no loaves.
門徒彼此議論說：「這是因為我們沒有帶餅吧。」
8 And having known it, Jesus said to them, O ye of little faith, why do ye deliberate among yourselves because ye brought no loaves?
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？
9 Do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up,
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？
10 nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many hampers ye took up?
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？
11 How do ye not understand that I spoke to you not about bread, to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
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？」
12 Then they understood that he said not to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
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。
13 Now when Jesus came into the regions of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say I, the Son of man, am?
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？」
14 And they said, Some, John the immerser, others, Elijah, but others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
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。」
15 He says to them, But who say ye, I am?
耶穌說：「你們說我是誰？」
16 And Simon Peter having answered, said, Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
西門‧彼得回答說：「你是基督，是永生上帝的兒子。」
17 And having answered, Jesus said to him, Blessed are thou, Simon Bar-jonah, because flesh and blood has not revealed it to thee, but my Father in the heavens.
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。
18 And I also say to thee, that thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
我還告訴你，你是彼得，我要把我的教會建造在這磐石上；陰間的權柄不能勝過他。 (Hadēs g86)
19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever thou may bind on earth will be what is bound in the heavens, and whatever thou may loose on the earth will be what is loosed in the heavens.
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。」
20 Then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no man that he is Jesus, the Christ.
當下，耶穌囑咐門徒，不可對人說他是基督。
21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scholars, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
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。
22 And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, Be merciful to thee, Lord. This will, no, not be to thee.
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。」
23 But having turned around, he said to Peter, Go thee behind me, Satan. Thou are my stumbling-block, because thou regard not the things of God, but the things of men.
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。」
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man wants to come behind me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
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。
25 For whoever wants save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
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。
26 For what does it profit a man, if he should gain the whole world, and lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
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？
27 For the Son of man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his agents, and then he will reward each man according to his actions.
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。
28 Truly I say to you, there are some of those who stand here, who will, no, not taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
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。」
