And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, questioned Him, to show to them a sign from Heaven,
2 But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine weather, for the sky is red;
and He answering said to them, “Evening having come, you say, Fair weather, for the sky is red,
3 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.
and at morning, Foul weather today, for the sky is red—gloomy; hypocrites, you indeed know to discern the face of the sky, but the signs of the times you are not able!
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas. And he left them and went away.

5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread.

8 And Jesus knowing [it], said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread?
And Jesus having known, said to them, “Why reason you in yourselves, you of little faith, because you took no loaves?
9 Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took [up]?
Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets you took up?
10 nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took [up]?
Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 How do ye not understand that [it was] not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
How do you not understand that I did not speak to you of bread—to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”

19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens.
and I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever you may bind on the earth will be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever you may loose on the earth will be having been loosed in the heavens.”

23 But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.
and He having turned, said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to Me, for you do not mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
24 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.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wills to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me,
25 For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.
for whoever may will to save his life will lose it, and whoever may lose his life for My sake will find it;
26 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?
for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? Or what will a man give as an exchange for his life?
27 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.
For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father, with His messengers, and then He will reward each according to his work.
28 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.
Truly I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who will not taste of death until they may see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
