2 But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.
In answer he said. "In the evening you say, ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is red as fire’;
3 And in the morning: Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?

4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away.

Presently Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."
7 But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread.
And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, "It is because we did not bring any bread."
8 And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread?
When Jesus knew it he said. "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have no bread?
9 Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

10 Nor the seven loaves among four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?
"Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
11 Why do you not understand that it was not concerning the bread I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
"How is it that you do not perceive that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware off the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"
12 Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then they realized that he had not told them to beware of the leaven, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

22 And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him, saying: Lord, be it far from thee, this shall not be unto thee.

But he turned and said to Peter. "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me, because you are not intent on what pleases God, but what pleases men."
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25 For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
For he who wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

28 Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
