Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.
And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadduccees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.
2 But in answer He said to them: “When it is evening you say, ‘Fair weather, for the sky is red’;
But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.
3 and in the morning, ‘Today will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times.
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 malignant and adulterous generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind He went away.
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.
5 Upon arriving at the other side His disciples had forgotten to take bread.
And when his disciples were come over the water, they had forgotten to take bread.
6 Then Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Who said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 So they reasoned among themselves saying, “It's because we didn't bring any bread.”
But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread.
8 But Jesus, being aware, said to them: “You little-faiths! Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you didn't bring any bread?
And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread?
9 Do you not yet perceive nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?
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 of the four thousand and how many hampers you took up?
Nor the seven loaves among four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?
11 How come you don't perceive that it wasn't about bread that I told you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”
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?
12 Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
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.
13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi He questioned His disciples saying, “Who do people say that I, the Son of the Man, am?”
And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is?
14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptizer, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He says to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?”
Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?
16 So in answer Simon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!”
Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And in answer Jesus said to him: “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in the heavens.
And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 And I further say to you that you are a stone, but on this bedrock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not withstand her. (Hadēs g86)
And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 And I will give you (sg) the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in the heavens.”
And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
20 Then He ordered His disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Messiah.
Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From then on Jesus began to show to His disciples that He had to go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.
From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the ancients and scribes and chief priests, and be put to death, and the third day rise again.
22 So taking Him aside Peter began to rebuke Him saying: “Mercy to you, Lord! This shall not happen to you!”
And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him, saying: Lord, be it far from thee, this shall not be unto thee.
23 But turning He said to Peter: “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you are not mindful of God's values, but of men's values.”
Who turning, said to Peter: Go behind me, Satan, thou art a scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples: “If anyone desires to come after me, let him really deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
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 whoever desires to save his life will waste it, but whoever ‘wastes’ his life on my account will find it.
For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?
27 For the Son of the Man will certainly come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will recompense each according to his performance.
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works.
28 Assuredly I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of the Man coming in His kingdom.”
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.
