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 to Him; and, to make trial of Him, they asked Him to show them a sign in the sky.
2 and He answering said to them, “Evening having come, you say, Fair weather, for the sky is red,
He replied, "In the evening you say, 'It will be fine weather, 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, 'It will be rough weather to-day, for the sky is red and murky.' You learn how to distinguish the aspect of the heavens, but the signs of the times you cannot.
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 faithless generation are eager for a sign; but none shall be given to them except the sign of Jonah." and He left them and went away.
5 And His disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
When the disciples arrived at the other side of the Lake, they found that they had forgotten to bring any bread;
6 and Jesus said to them, “Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees”;
and when Jesus said to them, "See to it: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,"
7 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, “Because we took no loaves.”
they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have not brought any bread."
8 And Jesus having known, said to them, “Why reason you in yourselves, you of little faith, because you took no loaves?
Jesus perceived this and said, "Why are you reasoning among yourselves, you men of little faith, 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 not yet understand? nor even remember the 5,000 and the five loaves, and how many basketfuls you carried away,
10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
nor the 4,000 and the seven loaves, and how many hampers you carried 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 you do not understand that it was not about bread that I spoke to you? But beware of the yeast 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 perceived that He had not warned them against bread-yeast, 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?”
When He arrived in the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples. "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" He asked.
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 replied; "others Elijah; others Jeremiah or one of the Prophets."
15 He says to them, “And you—who do you say I am?”
"But you, who do you say that I am?" He asked again.
16 And Simon Peter answering said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
"You," replied Simon Peter, "are the Christ, the Son of the ever-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 Bar-jonah," said Jesus; "for mere human nature has not revealed this to you, but 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 declare to you that you are Peter, and that upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the might of Hades shall not triumph 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 the Heavens; and whatever you bind on earth shall remain bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall remain loosed in Heaven."
20 Then He charged His disciples that they may say to no one that He is Jesus the Christ.
Then He urged His disciples to tell no one 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 this time Jesus began to explain to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer much cruelty from the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again.
22 And having taken Him aside, Peter began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, Lord; this will not be to You”;
Then Peter took Him aside and began taking Him to task. "Master," he said, "God forbid; this will not be your lot."
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 to Peter, "Get behind me, Adversary; you are a hindrance to me, because your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's."
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 one desires to follow me, let him renounce self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.
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 desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses 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?
Why, what benefit will it be to a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give to buy back 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 soon to come in the glory of the Father with His angels, and then will He requite every man according to his actions.
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 solemnly tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom."
