Matthew 16
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to [him], asked him, tempting [him], to shew them a sign out of heaven.
Now the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested Jesus, asking him to show 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;
But he answered them, “When evening comes you say, ‘It will be 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 in the morning you say, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times?
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.
An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” Then he left them and went away.
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
When his disciples reached the other side of the sea, they realized that they had forgotten to bring bread.
6 And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread.
So they discussed this among themselves, saying, “He must have said this because we brought no bread.”
8 And Jesus knowing [it], said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread?
Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you discussing among yourselves, O you of little faith, the fact that you brought no bread?
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? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you collected?
10 nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took [up]?
Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you collected?
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 could you not understand that I was not talking about bread when I told you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”
12 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.
Then they understood that he had not told them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
14 And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets.
They said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others say that yoʋ are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 He says to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am?
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 And Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Simon Peter answered, “Yoʋ are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.
And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are yoʋ, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to yoʋ, but my Father in heaven.
18 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 g86)
And I tell yoʋ that yoʋ are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
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.
I will give yoʋ the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever yoʋ bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever yoʋ loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
20 Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ.
Then he commanded his disciples to tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised.
From that time 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 up.
22 And Peter taking him to [him] began to rebuke him, saying, [God] be favourable to thee, Lord; this shall in no wise be unto thee.
So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “God forbid, Lord! This shall certainly not happen to yoʋ.”
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.
But he turned around and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! Yoʋ are a stumbling block to me, for yoʋ are not thinking about 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 wants to come after me, he must deny himself, 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 wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses 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 does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what can a person give in exchange for his soul?
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 will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.
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 some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
