But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine weather, for the sky is red;
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.
and in the morning, A storm to-day, for the sky is red [and] lowering; ye know [how] to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot 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.

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread.
8 And Jesus, seeing it, said, O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you have no bread?
And Jesus knowing [it], said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread?

10 Or the seven cakes of bread of the four thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?
nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye 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?
How do ye not understand that [it was] not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
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.
Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

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 )
And I also, I say unto thee that thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs )
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.

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.

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.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
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.
For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.
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?
For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
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.
For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to each according to his doings.
28 Truly I say to you, There are some of those here who will not have a taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
