Matthew 16
1 Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came to him, and in order to test him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 But Jesus answered, ‘In the evening you say “It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.”
In answer he said. "In the evening you say, ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is red as fire’;
3 But in the morning you say “Today it will be stormy, for the sky is as red as fire and threatening.” You learn to read the sky; yet you are unable to read the signs of the times!
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.
4 A wicked and unfaithful generation is asking for a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.’ So he left them and went away.
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.
5 Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
When his disciples reached the other side of the lake, they had forgotten to bring bread.
6 Presently Jesus said to them, ‘Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’
Presently Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."
7 But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, "It is because we did not bring any bread."
8 On noticing this, Jesus said, ‘Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, you of little faith?
When Jesus knew it he said. "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have no bread?
9 Don’t you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
"Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
10 Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
"Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
11 How is it that you do not see that I was not speaking about bread? Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’
"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!"
12 Then they understood that he had told them to be on their guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then they realized that he had not told them to beware of the leaven, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 On coming into the region of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question – ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’
When Jesus came into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of man is?"
14 ‘Some say John the Baptist,’ they answered, ‘Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.’
They replied, "Some say ‘Johnthe Baptist’; others, however, say that’He is Elijah’; others, ‘Jeremiah,’ or ‘One of the Prophets.’"
15 ‘But you,’ he said, ‘who do you say that I am?’
"And who do you say that I am?" he asked them.
16 To this Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
So Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17 ‘Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah,’ Jesus replied. ‘For no human being has revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
"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!
18 Yes, and I say to you, your name is “Peter” – a Rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail over it. (Hadēs g86)
"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 g86)
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be held in heaven to be forbidden, and whatever you allow on earth will be held in heaven to be allowed.’
"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."
20 Then he charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
Then he enjoined his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
21 At that time Jesus Christ began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and undergo much suffering at the hands of the elders, and chief priests, and teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
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.
22 But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘please God that will never be your fate!’
Then Peter took him aside and began to reprove him, saying. "God forbid, Master! That shall never befall you."
23 Jesus, however, turning to Peter, said, ‘Out of my way, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you look at things, not as God does, but as person does.’
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."
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their cross, and follow me.
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.
25 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life will find it.
For he who wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
26 What good will it do a person to gain the whole world, if he forfeits his life? Or what will a person give that is of equal value with his life?
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?
27 For the Son of Man is to come in his Father’s glory, with his angels, and then he will give to everyone what his actions deserve.
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.
28 I tell you, some of those who are standing here will not know death until they have seen the Son of Man coming into his kingdom.’
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.
