Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
And Pharisees and Sadducees approached him to test him, and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
But he responded by saying to them: “When evening arrives, you say, ‘It will be calm, for the sky is red,’
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.
and in the morning, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.’ So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know 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.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind, he went away.
5 The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
And when his disciples went across the sea, they forgot to bring bread.
6 Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
And he said to them, “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
7 They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
But they were thinking within themselves, saying, “It is because we have not brought bread.”
8 But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
Then Jesus, knowing this, said: “Why do you consider within yourselves, O little in faith, that it is because you have 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?
Do you not yet understand, nor remember, the five loaves among the five thousand men, and how many containers you took up?
10 Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Or the seven loaves among the four thousand men, 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."
Why do you not understand that it was not because of bread that I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the 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.
Then they understood that he was not saying that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and the 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?"
Then Jesus went into parts of Caesarea Philippi. And he questioned his disciples, saying, “Who do men 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."
And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, still others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Jesus said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
Simon Peter responded by saying, “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.
And in response, Jesus said to him: “Blessed are you, Simon son of 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)
And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall 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."
And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound, even in heaven. And whatever you shall release on earth shall be released, even in heaven.”
20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Messiah.
Then he instructed his disciples that they should tell no one that he is Jesus 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.
From that time, Jesus began to reveal to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the elders and the scribes and the leaders of the priests, and to be killed, and to rise again on the third day.
22 Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, “Lord, may it be far from you; this shall not happen 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."
And turning away, Jesus said to Peter: “Get behind me, Satan; you are an obstacle to me. For you are not behaving according to what is of God, but according to what is of men.”
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.
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If anyone is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
For whoever would save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life for my sake, shall find it.
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?
For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, yet truly suffers damage to his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 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.
For the Son of man will arrive in the glory of his Father, with his Angels. And then he will repay each one according to his works.
28 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."
Amen I say to you, there are some among those standing here, who shall not taste death, until they see the Son of man arriving in his reign.”
