< Matthew 16 >

1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, questioned Him, to show to 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.'
and He answering said to them, “Evening having come, you say, Fair weather, 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 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!
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 will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet”; and having left them He went away.
5 The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
And His disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
6 Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
and Jesus said to them, “Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees”;
7 They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, “Because we took no loaves.”
8 But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
And Jesus having known, said to them, “Why reason you in yourselves, you of little faith, because you took no loaves?
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 of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets you took up?
10 Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Nor the seven loaves of the four 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."
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?”
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 did not say to take heed of the leaven of the 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?"
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?”
14 They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
And they said, “Some, John the Immerser, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
He says to them, “And you—who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
And Simon Peter answering said, “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 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.
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 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)
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 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.”
20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Christ.
Then He charged His disciples that they may say to 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 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.
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 having taken Him aside, Peter began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, Lord; this will not be 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 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.”
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 wills to come after Me, let him disown 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 may will to save his life will lose it, and whoever may lose his life for My sake will 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 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?
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 is about to come in the glory of His Father, with His messengers, and then He will reward each according to his work.
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."
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.”
