< Matthew 16 >
1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came to him, and in order to test him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 In answer he said. "In the evening you say, ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is red as fire’;
But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
3 and at dawn you say, ‘It will storm today, for the sky is red and lowering.’ You know how to discern the look of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot read.
In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
4 A wicked and faithless generation is seeking a sign, but no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah." So he left them and went away.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of Yaunan." He left them, and departed.
5 When his disciples reached the other side of the lake, they had forgotten to bring bread.
The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
6 Presently Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."
Yeshua said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
7 And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, "It is because we did not bring any bread."
They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
8 When Jesus knew it he said. "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have no bread?
But Yeshua, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
9 "Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 "Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 "How is it that you do not perceive that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware off the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"
Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
12 Then they realized that he had not told them to beware of the leaven, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 When Jesus came into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of man is?"
Now when Yeshua came into the parts of Qesarya Dephilipus, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
14 They replied, "Some say ‘Johnthe Baptist’; others, however, say that’He is Elijah’; others, ‘Jeremiah,’ or ‘One of the Prophets.’"
They said, "Some say Yukhanan the Baptist, some, Eliya, and others, Aramiyah, or one of the prophets."
15 "And who do you say that I am?" he asked them.
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 So Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Shimon Kipha answered and said to him, "You are the Meshikha, the Son of the living God."
17 "Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah," said Jesus; "for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven!
And Yeshua answered him, "Blessed are you Shimon, son of Yauna, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 "Moreover I say to you that you are Petros (a rock), and on this petra (rock) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her. (Hadēs )
I also tell you that you are Kipha, and on this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of Sheyul will not prevail against it. (Hadēs )
19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose upon earth shall be loosed in the heavens."
I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
20 Then he enjoined his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Meshikha.
21 After this Jesus the Christ began to show his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things at the hands of the elders and chief priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again.
From that time, Yeshua began to show his disciples that he must go to Urishlim and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22 Then Peter took him aside and began to reprove him, saying. "God forbid, Master! That shall never befall you."
Kipha took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
23 But he turned and said to Peter. "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me, because you are not intent on what pleases God, but what pleases men."
But he turned, and said to Kipha, "Get behind me, Satana. You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of humans."
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples. "If any man wishes to come after me, let him renounce self, take up his cross, and follow me.
Then Yeshua said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For he who wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
For what will it profit a person, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?
27 For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father, and his angels with him, and then will he reward each one in accordance with his actions.
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
28 Solemnly I tell you, some of those who are standing here shall not taste death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."
