Matthew 16
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, questioned Him, to show to them a sign from Heaven,
Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
2 and He answering said to them, “Evening having come, you say, Fair weather, for the sky is red,
But Jesus answered, “In the evening you say ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.’
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!
But in the morning you say ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is as red as fire and threatening.’ You learn to read the sky; yet you are unable to read 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.
A wicked and unfaithful generation is asking for a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and went away.
5 And His disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
6 and Jesus said to them, “Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees”;
Presently Jesus said to them, “Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, “Because we took no loaves.”
But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
8 And Jesus having known, said to them, “Why reason you in yourselves, you of little faith, because you took no loaves?
On noticing this, Jesus said, “Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, you of little faith?
9 Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets you took up?
Don’t you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
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 speaking about bread? Be on your guard against 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 understood that he had told them to be on their guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against 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?”
On coming into the region of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question – “Who do people 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.”
“Some say John the Baptist,” they answered, “Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
15 He says to them, “And you—who do you say I am?”
“But you,” he said, “who do you say that I am?”
16 And Simon Peter answering said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
To this Simon Peter answered, “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.
“Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah,” Jesus replied. “For no human being has revealed this to you, 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 g86)
Yes, and I say to you, your name is ‘Peter’ – a Rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail over 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 you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be held in heaven to be forbidden, and whatever you allow on earth will be held in heaven to be allowed.”
20 Then He charged His disciples that they may say to no one that He is Jesus the Christ.
Then he charged his disciples not to tell anyone 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.
At that time Jesus Christ began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and undergo much suffering at the hands of the elders, and chief priests, and teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
22 And having taken Him aside, Peter began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, Lord; this will not be to You”;
But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. “Master,” he said, “please God that will never be your fate!”
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.”
Jesus, however, turning to Peter, said, “Out of my way, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you look at things, not as God does, but as person does.”
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 anyone wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their 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 whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life will 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?
What good will it do a person to gain the whole world, if he forfeits his life? Or what will a person give that is of equal value with 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 is to come in his Father’s glory, with his angels, and then he will give to everyone what his actions deserve.
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.”
I tell you, some of those who are standing here will not know death until they have seen the Son of Man coming into his kingdom.”
