Matthew 16
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees who came, testing, demanded him to exhibit to them a sign from the sky.
Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came to him, and in order to test him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 But having answered, he said to them, When it becomes evening, ye say, Fair weather, for the sky is red.
In answer he said. "In the evening you say, ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is red as fire’;
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.
and at dawn you say, ‘It will storm today, for the sky is red and lowering.’ You know how to discern the look of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot read.
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.
A wicked and faithless generation is seeking a sign, but no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah." So he left them and went away.
5 And his disciples having come to the other side, they forgot to take loaves.
When his disciples reached the other side of the lake, they had forgotten to bring bread.
6 And Jesus said to them, Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Presently Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."
7 And they deliberated among themselves, saying, We took no loaves.
And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, "It is because we did not bring any bread."
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?
When Jesus knew it he said. "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have no bread?
9 Do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up,
"Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
10 nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many hampers ye took up?
"Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
11 How do ye not understand that I spoke to you not about bread, to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
"How is it that you do not perceive that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware off the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"
12 Then they understood that he said not to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then they realized that he had not told them to beware of the leaven, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
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?
When Jesus came into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of man is?"
14 And they said, Some, John the immerser, others, Elijah, but others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
They replied, "Some say ‘Johnthe Baptist’; others, however, say that’He is Elijah’; others, ‘Jeremiah,’ or ‘One of the Prophets.’"
15 He says to them, But who say ye, I am?
"And who do you say that I am?" he asked them.
16 And Simon Peter having answered, said, Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
So Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
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.
"Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah," said Jesus; "for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven!
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)
"Moreover I say to you that you are Petros (a rock), and on this petra (rock) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her. (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.
"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose upon earth shall be loosed in the heavens."
20 Then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no man that he is Jesus, the Christ.
Then he enjoined his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
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.
After this Jesus the Christ began to show his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things at the hands of the elders and chief priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again.
22 And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, Be merciful to thee, Lord. This will, no, not be to thee.
Then Peter took him aside and began to reprove him, saying. "God forbid, Master! That shall never befall you."
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.
But he turned and said to Peter. "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me, because you are not intent on what pleases God, but what pleases men."
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.
Then Jesus said to his disciples. "If any man wishes to come after me, let him renounce self, take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whoever wants save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
For he who wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
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?
What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
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.
For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father, and his angels with him, and then will he reward each one in accordance with his actions.
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.
Solemnly I tell you, some of those who are standing here shall not taste death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
