Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees also and the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven.
Thither some Pharisees and Sadducees repaired, who, to try him, desired that he would show them a sign in the sky.
2 He answered and said to them, When it is evening, ye 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 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and threatening. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern 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 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
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 And when his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Now his disciples, before they came over, had forgot to bring loaves with them.
6 Then Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Jesus said to them, Take head, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
On which they said, reasoning among themselves, This is because we have brought no loaves with us.
8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said to them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought 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 ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took 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 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
nor the seven loaves among the four thousand, and how many hand-baskets you filled?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spoke not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the 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 did not warn them against the leaven of bread, but against the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the 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 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?
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 And they said, Some say that thou art 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 saith to them, But who say ye that I am?
But who, returned he, do you say that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Simon Peter answering, said, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, 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 And I say also to thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall 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 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever thou shalt 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 he charged his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
Then he forbade his disciples to tell any many that he is the Messiah.
21 From that time forth 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 killed, and be raised again 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, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee.
On which, Peter taking him aside, reproved him, saying, Be this far from you, Master; this shall not befall you.
23 But he turned, and said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence to me: for thou savourest not the things that are of God, but those that are of men.
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 said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and 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 will save his life shall lose it: and whoever will lose his life for my sake shall 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 is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
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 shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
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 Verily I say to you, There are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they shall 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.
