< Matthew 16 >
1 And there came Pharishee and Zadukoyee, tempting him, and demanding that he would show them a sign from heaven.
And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come to Him, tempting Him, 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 serene weather, for the heaven hath reddened.
And He responding said to them, It being evening, you say, It will be fair weather: because the sky is red:
3 And in the early morning you say, To-day will be tempestuous, for the heaven hath reddened gloomily. Hypocrites! the aspect of the heaven you are skilful to discriminate, (but) the signs of this time you know not how to distinguish.
and in the morning, It will be stormy to-day: for the lowering sky is red: ye hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the sky: but are you not able to discern the signs of the times?
4 A depraved and adulterous race requireth a sign, but a sign shall not be given to it, save the sign of Jaunon the prophet; and he left them, and went away.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign. And no sign shall be given it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah. And leaving them, He departed.
5 And when his disciples had come to the opposite, they had forgotten to take bread with them.
His disciples having come to the other side forgot to take bread.
6 But he said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharishee and Zadukoyee.
And Jesus said to them; See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 But they thought within themselves, saying, (It is) because bread we have not taken.
And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, That it is because we did not take bread.
8 But Jeshu knew, and said to them, Why reason you within yourselves, little in faith, because bread you have not brought?
And Jesus knowing said to them, Why do you reason among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because you did not take bread?
9 Have you not yet understood? Do you not remember those five loaves for the five thousand, and how many panniers you took up?
Do you not yet understand? do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 Or those seven loaves and 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 do you not understand that it was not concerning bread I spoke to you, but that you should beware of the leaven of the Pharishee and of the Zadukoyee?
How do you not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
12 Then they understood that he did not say that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharishee and of the Zadukoyee.
Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of the (bread) of the Pharisees and Sadducees, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 NOW when Jeshu had come to the place of Cesarea of Philipos, he questioned his disciples, saying, What do men say concerning me who am the Son of man?
And Jesus having come into the regions of Caesarea Philippi, asked His disciples, saying, Whom do the people say that I, the Son of man, am?
14 They said to him, Some say that thou art Juchanon the Baptizer, but others Elia, and others Eramia, or one from the prophets.
And they said, Some, John the Baptist; and some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith to them, But you, whom say you that I am?
And He says to them, But whom do you say that I am?
16 Shemun Kipha answered and said, Thou art the Meshicha, Son of Aloha the Living.
And Simon Peter responding said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 Jeshu responded and said to him, Blessed art thou, Shemun-bar-Jona; because flesh and blood have not revealed (this) to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
And Jesus responding said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon the son of Jonah: because flesh and blood did not reveal it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.
18 Also I say unto thee, that thou art Kipha, and upon this rock will I build my church, and the gates of Sheul shall not prevail against her. (Hadēs )
And I say to thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs )
19 To thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens: and whatsoever you may bind on the earth, shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever you may loose on earth shall be loosed in the heavens.
20 Then he commanded his disciples that no man they should tell that he was the Meshicha.
Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He is the Christ.
21 AND from that time began Jeshu to show to his disciples that it was to be that he should go to Urishlem, and suffer much from the elders and the chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and the third day arise again.
And from this time Jesus began to show to His disciples, that it behooves Him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders and the chief priest and the scribes, and to be killed, and rise the third day.
22 Then Kipha took him (apart?) and began to expostulate with him, and said, Far be it from thee, my Lord, that this should be to thee!
And Peter taking Him to him, began to rebuke Him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord; because this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned and said to Kipha, Get thee behind me, Satana! thou art a stumbling-block to me, because thou thinkest not from Aloha, but from the sons of men!
And turning He said to Peter, Get behind me, adversary: thou art my stumbling-block; because thou art not thinking about the things of God, but those of men.
24 Then said Jeshu to his disciples. Whosoever willeth to come after me, let him deny himself, and let him take up his cross and follow me.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, If any one wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever willeth to save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
For whosoever may wish to save his soul shall lose it: and whosoever may lose his soul for my sake shall find it.
26 For what shall a man be profited, if the whole world he shall acquire, and his soul shall perish? or what equivalent shall a man give for his soul?
For what is a man profited, if he may gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For it is to be, that the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his holy angels, and then shall he render unto every man according to his works.
For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will give to each one according to his works.
28 AMEN, I say unto you, There are men standing here who shall not taste death, until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Truly I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who may not taste of death, until they may see the Son of man coming in His kingdom.
