Matthew 16
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, questioned Him, to show to them a sign from Heaven,
利塞人和撒杜塞人，為試探耶穌，前來求他給他們顯一個來自天上的徵兆。
2 and He answering said to them, “Evening having come, you say, Fair weather, for the sky is red,
耶穌回答他們說：「到了晚上，你們說：天色發紅，必要放晴。
3 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!
早上，天色又紅又黑，你們說：今日必有風雨；你們知道辨別天像，卻不能辨別時期的徵兆。
4 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.
邪惡淫亂的世代要求徵兆，但除了約納先知的徵兆外，必不給它其他的徵兆。」耶穌遂離開他們走了。
5 And His disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
們徒往對岸去的時候忘了帶餅；
6 and Jesus said to them, “Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees”;
耶穌就對他們說：「你們應當謹慎防備法利塞人和撒杜塞人的酵母。
7 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, “Because we took no loaves.”
他們彼此議論說：「因為我們沒有帶餅罷！」
8 And Jesus having known, said to them, “Why reason you in yourselves, you of little faith, because you took no loaves?
耶穌知道了就說：「小信德的人！你們為什麼竟彼此議論你們沒有帶餅呢？
9 Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets you took up?
你們還不明白嗎？ 你們不記得五個餅分給五千人，你們又收拾了幾筐？
10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
七個餅分給四千人，你們又收拾了幾籃﹖
11 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?”
怎麼你們不明白，我不是指著餅向你們說的呢﹖你們應當防備法利塞人和塞杜塞人的酵母！」
12 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.
他們這纔明白耶穌不是說防備餅的酵母，而是說防備法利塞人和撒杜塞人的教訓。
13 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?”
耶穌來到了裴理伯的凱撒勒雅境內，就問們徒說：「人們說人子是誰？
14 And they said, “Some, John the Immerser, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
他們說是洗者若翰；有人說是厄里亞；也有人說是耶肋米亞，或先知中的一位。」
15 He says to them, “And you—who do you say I am?”
耶穌對他們說：你們說我是誰？」
16 And Simon Peter answering said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
西滿伯多祿回答說：「你是默西亞，永生天主之主。」
17 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.
耶穌回答他說：「約翰的兒子西滿，你是有福的，因為不是肉和血啟示了你，而是我在天之父。
18 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)
我再給你說：你是伯多祿(磐石，)在這磐石上，我要建立我的教會，陰間的門決不能戰勝她。 (Hadēs g86)
19 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.”
我要將天國的鑰匙交給你：凡你在地上所束縛的，在天上也要被束縛；凡你在地上所釋放的，在天上也要被釋放。」
20 Then He charged His disciples that they may say to no one that He is Jesus the Christ.
他遂即嚴禁門徒，不要對任人說他是默西亞。
21 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.
從那時起，耶穌就開始向們徒說明：他必須上耶路撒冷去，要由長老、司祭長和經師們受到許多痛苦，並將被殺，但第三天要復活。
22 And having taken Him aside, Peter began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, Lord; this will not be to You”;
伯多祿便拉耶穌到一邊，諫責他說：「主，千萬不可！這事絕不會臨到你身上！」
23 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.”
耶穌轉身對伯多祿說：「撒殫，退到我後面去！你是我的絆腳石，因為你所體會的不是天主的事，而是人的事。」
24 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,
於是，耶穌對們徒說：「誰若願意跟隨我，該棄絕自己，背著自己的十字架來跟隨我，
25 for whoever may will to save his life will lose it, and whoever may lose his life for My sake will find it;
因為誰若願意救自己的性命，必要喪失性命；但誰若為我的原故，喪失自己的性命，必要獲得性命。
26 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?
人縱然賺得了全世界，卻賠上了自己的靈魂，為他有什麼益處？或者，人還能拿什麼作為自己靈魂的代價？
27 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.
為將來人子要在他父的光榮中同他的天使降來，那時，他要按照每人的行為予以賞報。
28 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.”
我時在告訴你們：站在這裏的人中，就有些人在未嘗到死味以前，必要看見人子來到自己的國內。」
