1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested Jesus by asking Him to show them a sign from heaven.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 But He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘The weather will be fair, for the sky is red,’
But in answer He said to them: “When it is evening you say, ‘Fair weather, for the sky is red’;
3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but not the signs of the times.
and in the morning, ‘Today will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times.
4 A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Then He left them and went away.
A malignant and adulterous generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind He went away.
5 When they crossed to the other side, the disciples forgot to take bread.
Upon arriving at the other side His disciples had forgotten to take bread.
6 “Watch out!” Jesus told them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Then Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 They discussed this among themselves and concluded, “It is because we did not bring any bread.”
So they reasoned among themselves saying, “It's because we didn't bring any bread.”
8 Aware of their conversation, Jesus said, “You of little faith, why are you debating among yourselves about having no bread?
But Jesus, being aware, said to them: “You little-faiths! Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you didn't bring any bread?
9 Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
Do you not yet perceive nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?
10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many hampers you took up?
11 How do you not understand that I was not telling you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
How come you don't perceive that it wasn't about bread that I told you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”
12 Then they understood that He was not telling them to beware of the leaven used in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
So they said, “Some say John the Baptizer, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”
He says to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
So in answer Simon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!”
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.
And in answer Jesus said to him: “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in the heavens.
18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
And I further say to you that you are a stone, but on this bedrock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not withstand her. (Hadēs g86)
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
And I will give you (sg) the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in the heavens.”
20 Then He admonished the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.
Then He ordered His disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Messiah.
21 From that time on 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 to life.
From then on Jesus began to show to His disciples that He had to go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.
22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Far be it from You, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to You!”
So taking Him aside Peter began to rebuke Him saying: “Mercy to you, Lord! This shall not happen to you!”
23 But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
But turning He said to Peter: “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you are not mindful of God's values, but of men's values.”
24 Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
Then Jesus said to His disciples: “If anyone desires to come after me, let him really deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
For whoever desires to save his life will waste it, but whoever ‘wastes’ his life on my account will find it.
26 What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
27 For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.
For the Son of the Man will certainly come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will recompense each according to his performance.
28 Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
Assuredly I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of the Man coming in His kingdom.”
