< Matthew 16 >
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, questioned Him, to show to them a sign from Heaven,
And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 and He answering said to them, “Evening having come, you say, Fair weather, for the sky is red,
But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, [It will be] fair weather: for the heaven is red.
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!
And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to-day: for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot [discern] the signs of the times.
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.
An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
5 And His disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread.
6 and Jesus said to them, “Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees”;
And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, “Because we took no loaves.”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread.
8 And Jesus having known, said to them, “Why reason you in yourselves, you of little faith, because you took no loaves?
And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread?
9 Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets you took up?
Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
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?”
How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
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.
Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
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?”

14 And they said, “Some, John the Immerser, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
And they said, Some [say] John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 He says to them, “And you—who do you say I am?”
He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answering said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
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.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
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 )
And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs )
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.”
I will give unto 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.
20 Then He charged His disciples that they may say to no one that He is Jesus the Christ.
Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ.
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.

22 And having taken Him aside, Peter began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, Lord; this will not be to You”;
And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee.
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.”
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.
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,
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 for whoever may will to save his life will lose it, and whoever may lose his life for My sake will find it;
For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.
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?
For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?
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.
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds.
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.”
Verily I say unto you, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
