Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
But in answer He said to them: “When it is evening you say, ‘Fair weather, for the sky is red’;
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
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.
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
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.
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Upon arriving at the other side His disciples had forgotten to take bread.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Then Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
So they reasoned among themselves saying, “It's because we didn't bring any bread.”
8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
But Jesus, being aware, said to them: “You little-faiths! Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you didn't bring any bread?
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Do you not yet perceive nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?
10 Neither 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 hampers you took up?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
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?”
12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
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?”
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
So they said, “Some say John the Baptizer, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
He says to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?”
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
So in answer Simon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!”
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar–jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
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.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Assembly; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
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)
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be that which is bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be that which is loosed in heaven.
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.”
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
Then He ordered His disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Messiah.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
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.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
So taking Him aside Peter began to rebuke Him saying: “Mercy to you, Lord! This shall not happen to you!”
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
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.”
24 Then said Jesus unto 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 desires to come after me, let him really deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
For whoever desires to save his life will waste it, but whoever ‘wastes’ his life on my account will find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
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?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
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.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
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.”
