Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲩϫⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ
2 But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ
3 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 An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of Jonah." He left them, and departed.

5 The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.

6 Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

7 They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."

8 But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?

9 Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

11 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 understood that he did not tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"

14 They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

17 And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

18 I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)

19 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 commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Christ.

21 From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

22 Peter 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, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of humans."
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲕⲟⲧϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲕⲟⲩⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

26 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?
