Matthew 16
1 AND the Pharisees and the Sadducees came to him, and, to make trial of him, desired him to shew them a sign from heaven.
And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, questioned Him, to show to them a sign from Heaven,
2 And he answering, said unto them, When evening comes, ye say, Fair 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, It will be tempestuous to-day, for the sky is gloomy and fiery red. Ye hypocrites, do ye know how to discern the appearance of the sky, and are ye unable to discern 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 seeketh a sign; and no sign shall be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign, and a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet”; and having left them He went away.
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
And His disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
6 Then Jesus said to them, Beware and abstain from the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
and Jesus said to them, “Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees”;
7 So they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have not taken bread.
and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, “Because we took no loaves.”
8 But when Jesus knew it, he said unto them, Why are ye reasoning among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have not taken bread?
And Jesus having known, said to them, “Why reason you in yourselves, you of little faith, because you took no loaves?
9 Do you not consider, nor remember the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many 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 among 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 is it that ye do not understand, that I spake not to you of bread, to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the 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?”
12 Then understood they, that he spake about abstaining not from the leaven in the bread, but from the doctrine of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
Then they understood that He did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Then Jesus coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, questioned his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am? The Son of Man?
And Jesus, having come to the parts of Caesarea Philippi, was asking His disciples, saying, “Who do men say I am—the Son of Man?”
14 But they replied, Some, that thou art John the Baptist; but others, Elias; and others again, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
And they said, “Some, John the Immerser, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
15 He saith unto them, But who do ye say that I am?
He says to them, “And you—who do you say I am?”
16 Then Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
And Simon Peter answering said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 And Jesus replying, said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed this to thee, but my Father, who is in heaven.
And Jesus answering said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to you, but My Father who is in the heavens.
18 And I tell thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Assembly, and [the] gates of Hades will not prevail against it; (Hadēs g86)
19 And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
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.”
20 Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Messiah.
Then He charged His disciples that they may say to no one that He is Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time Jesus began to shew his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the chief-priests, and of the scribes, and be put to death, and the third day rise again.
From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that it is necessary for Him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise.
22 And Peter taking him aside, began to chide him, saying, Mercy on thee, Lord! this shall never be thy case.
And having taken Him aside, Peter began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, Lord; this will not be to You”;
23 Then turning from him, he said unto Peter, Get thee behind me Satan! thou art an offence to me: for thou dost not relish the things of God, but those 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 said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will 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 is desirous to preserve his life, shall lose it; but whosoever would 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 would a man be advantaged, though he could gain the whole world, if he should suffer the loss of his soul? or what will a man give as the ransom 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 shall hereafter come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then shall he recompense every man according to his practice.
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, who shall in no wise taste of death, until they see 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.”
