Matthew 16
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came and, testing him, made a request to him to give them a sign from heaven.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲩϫⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ
2 But in answer he said to them, At nightfall you say, The weather will be good, for the sky is red.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ
3 And in the morning, The weather will be bad today, for the sky is red and angry. You are able to see the face of heaven, but not the signs of the times.

4 An evil and false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.

5 And when the disciples came to the other side they had not taken thought to get bread.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲣⲡⲱⲃϣ ⲛϫⲓⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ
6 And Jesus said to them, Take care to have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ϭⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲑⲁⲃ ⲛⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ
7 And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, We took no bread.
ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲓⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ
8 And Jesus, seeing it, said, O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you have no bread?
ⲏ̅ⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲧⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ
9 Do you still not see, or keep in mind the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?
ⲑ̅ⲉⲓⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲓⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡϯⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲙⲡϯⲟⲩ ⲛϣⲟ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲟⲩⲏⲣ ⲛⲕⲟⲧ
10 Or the seven cakes of bread of the four thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

11 How is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲉⲓⲕ ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲑⲁⲃ ⲛⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ
12 Then they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲑⲁⲃ ⲛⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ
13 Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲙⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲕⲁⲓⲥⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ⲁϥϫⲛⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ
14 And they said, Some say, John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ 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
15 He says to them, But who do you say that I am?

16 And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲁⲧⲕ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲓⲱⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϭⲉⲗⲡ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲁⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ
18 And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it. (Hadēs g86)

19 I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever is fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.

20 Then he gave orders to the disciples to give no man word that he was the Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϩⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
21 From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ϫⲓⲛ ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲙⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲛϥϣⲡϩⲁϩ ⲛϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲥⲉⲙⲟⲩⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
22 And Peter, protesting, said to him, Be it far from you, Lord; it is impossible that this will come about.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁϥϣⲟⲡⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲉⲓ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲩⲟϫ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲁⲓ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ
23 But he, turning to Peter, said, Get out of my way, Satan: you are a danger to me because your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲕⲟⲧϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲕⲟⲩⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross, and come after me.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲁⲡⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϥϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ
25 Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him; but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.

26 For what profit has a man, if he gets all the world with the loss of his life? or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

27 For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will give to every man the reward of his works.
