But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
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.
In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

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?
But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having 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 still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets 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 baskets 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?
Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

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, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of humans."

25 For whoever wants save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
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.
Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."
