Matthew 16
1 And Pharisees and Sadducees came near, tempting him, and asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
And the Pharisees and Sadducees came to try him, and asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 But he answered, and said to them: When it is evening ye say, It will be fair weather; for the heavens are red.
And he answering said to them, When it is evening, ye say, Fair weather! for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning ye say, There will be a storm to-day; for the heavens are sadly red. Ye hypocrites, ye are intelligent to discover the aspect of the heavens, but the signs of this time ye have no skill to discern.
And in the morning, A storm today! for the sky is red and lowering. Ye know how to judge of the face of the sky, and can ye not discern the signs of the times?
4 A wicked and adulterous generation asketh for a sign; but no sign shall be given it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and no sign will be given to it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them and went away.
5 And when his disciples had come to the farther shore, they had forgotten to take bread with them.
And the disciples having come to the other side, had forgotten to take bread.
6 And he said to them: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
And Jesus said to them, Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 And they reasoned among themselves, and said, it was because they had taken no bread.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we took no bread.
8 But Jesus knew it and said to them: O ye small in faith! why reason ye among yourselves because ye have taken no bread?
And Jesus knowing it, said, Why are ye reasoning among yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no bread?
9 Have ye not yet understood? Do ye not remember the five loaves and the five thousand, and the many baskets ye took up?
Do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 Nor the seven loaves and the four thousand, and the many baskets ye took up?
Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that it was not concerning bread that I spoke to you; but that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
How is it that ye do not understand, that I spoke not to you of loaves? But [[I said]] Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
12 Then understood they, that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Then they understood, that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 And when Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he questioned his disciples, and said: What do men say concerning me, that I the Son of man, am?
And Jesus, having come into the region of Caesarea Philippi, asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?
14 And they said: Some say that thou art John the Baptizer; but others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

16 Simon Cephas answered and said: Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
And Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 Jesus answered, and said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonas; for flesh and blood have not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonah; for flesh and blood did not reveal it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 Also I say to thee, that thou art Cephas: and upon this rock, I will build my church: and the gates of death shall not triumph over it. (Hadēs g86)
And I on my part say to thee, that thou art Peter, a rock, and on this rock will I build my church, and the gates of the underworld shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 To thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever thou shalt unbind on earth, shall be unbound in heaven.
I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever thou shalt bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatever thou shalt loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
20 Then he enjoined on his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was the Messiah.
Then he charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
21 And from that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he was to go up to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the Elders, and from the chief priests and Scribes, and be killed, and on the third day arise.
From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and rise again on the third day.
22 And Cephas took him, and began to rebuke him; and he said: Far be it from thee, my Lord, that this should be to thee.
Then Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord! This shall not be to thee.
23 But he turned, and said to Cephas: Get thee behind me, Satan: Thou art a stumbling block to me; for thou thinkest not the things of God, but the things of men.
But he turned and said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan! thou art my stumbling-block; for thy thoughts are not on the things of God, but on those of men.
24 Then said Jesus to his disciples: If any one desireth to come after me, let him deny himself; and let him bear his cross, and come after me.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one chooseth to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For, whoever chooseth to preserve his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
For whoever chooseth to save his life will lose it; and whoever shall lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 For what will it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and shall lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
For what will a man be profited, if be gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?
27 For the Son of man is to come in the glory of his Father, with all his holy angels; and then will he recompense to every man as his deeds are.
For the Son of man is to come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then will he render to every one according to his works.
28 Verily I say to you: There are some persons standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Truly do I say to you, There are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
