Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from the sky.
Thither some Pharisees and Sadducees repaired, who, to try him, desired that he would show them a sign in the sky.
2 But he answered and said to them, “When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
He answering, said to them, In the evening you say, it will be fair weather, for the sky is red:
3 When it is morning, you say, 'It will be foul weather, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
and in the morning, There will be a storm to-day, for the sky is red and lowering. You can judge aright of the appearance of the sky, but can you not discern the signs of the times?
4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then Jesus left them and went away.
An evil and adulterous race demands a sign, but no sign shall be given it, except the sign of the Prophet Jonah. Then leaving them he departed.
5 When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Now his disciples, before they came over, had forgot to bring loaves with them.
6 Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Jesus said to them, Take head, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 The disciples reasoned among themselves and said, “It is because we took no bread.”
On which they said, reasoning among themselves, This is because we have brought no loaves with us.
8 Jesus was aware of this and said, “You of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves and say that it is because you have taken no bread?
Jesus perceiving it, said, What do you reason amongst yourselves, O you distrustful! that I speak thus, because you have brought no loaves.
9 Do you not yet perceive or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered up?
Have you no reflection? or do you not remember the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets you filled with the fragments:
10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
nor the seven loaves among the four thousand, and how many hand-baskets you filled?
11 How is it that you do not understand that I was not speaking to you about bread? Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
How is it, that you do not understand, that I spoke not concerning bread, when I bade you beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to beware of yeast in bread, but to beware of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then they understood, that he cautioned them not against the leaven which the Pharisees and the Sadducees used in bread, but against their doctrine.
13 Now when Jesus came to the regions near Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
As Jesus was going to the district of Cesarea Philippi, he asked 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.”
They answered, Some say, John the Immerser; others, Elijah; others, Jeremiah, or one of the Prophets.
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
But who, returned he, do you say that I am?
16 Answering, Simon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Simon Peter answering, said, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Jesus replying, said to him, Happy are you, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church. The gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
I tell you, likewise, you are named Stone; and on this rock I will build my congregation, over which the gates of Hades shall not prevail. (Hadēs g86)
19 I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Moreover, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatever you shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you shall loose on the earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then Jesus commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was the Christ.
Then he forbade his disciples to tell any many that he is the Messiah.
21 From that time Jesus started to tell his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, suffer many things at the hand of the elders and chief priests and scribes, be killed, and be raised back to life on the third day.
From that time Jesus began to disclose to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and there suffer much from the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and that he must be raised the third day.
22 Then Peter took him aside and rebuked him, saying, “May this be far from you, Lord; may this never happen to you.”
On which, Peter taking him aside, reproved him, saying, Be this far from you, Master; this shall not befall you.
23 But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you do not care for the things of God, but for the things of people.”
But he turning, said to Peter, Get you thence, adversary, you are an obstacle in my way; for you relish not the things of God, but the things of men.
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come under my guidance, let him renounce himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
For, whosoever would save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
26 For what does it profit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? What can a person give in exchange for his life?
What is a man profited, if he should gain the whole world, with the forfeit of his life? or what will a man not give in ransom for his life?
27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels. Then he will reward every person according to what he has done.
For the Son of Man, vested with his Father's glory, shall come hereafter with his heavenly messengers, and recompense every one according to his actions.
28 Truly I say to you, there are some of you standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
Indeed, I say to you, some of those who are present, shall not taste death, until they see the Son of Man enter upon his Reign.
