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, testing him, made a request to him to give 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 in answer he said to them, At nightfall you say, The weather will be good, for the sky 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, The weather will be bad today, for the sky is red and angry. You are able to see the face of heaven, but not 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 false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.
5 And His disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
And when the disciples came to the other side they had not taken thought to get bread.
6 and Jesus said to them, “Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees”;
And Jesus said to them, Take care to have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, “Because we took no loaves.”
And they were reasoning 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, seeing it, said, O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you 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 you still not see, or keep in mind the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?
10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Or the seven cakes of bread of the four thousand, and the number of baskets you 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 you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from 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 they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but 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?”
Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?
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 says to them, But who do you say that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answering said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are 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 made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father 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 g86)
And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it. (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.”
I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever is fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.
20 Then He charged His disciples that they may say to no one that He is Jesus the Christ.
Then he gave orders to the disciples to give no man word 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.
From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead.
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, protesting, said to him, Be it far from you, Lord; it is impossible that this will come about.
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, turning to Peter, said, Get out of my way, Satan: you are a danger to me because your mind is not on the things of God, but on 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 Jesus said to his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross, and come after 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;
Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him; but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.
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 profit has a man, if he gets all the world with the loss of his life? or what will 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 will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will give to every man the reward of his works.
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.”
Truly I say to you, There are some of those here who will not have a taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
