Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to 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 But he answered 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 In the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you can’t 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 An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” 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 The disciples came to the other side and 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 They reasoned among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”
On which they said, reasoning among themselves, This is because we have brought no loaves with us.
8 Jesus, perceiving it, said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you 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 Don’t you yet perceive or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you 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 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 don’t perceive that I didn’t speak to you concerning bread? But 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 didn’t tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but 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 into the parts 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 They said, “Some say John the Baptizer, 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 Simon Peter answered, “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 him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has 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 tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and 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, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released 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 commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
Then he forbade his disciples to tell any many that he is the Messiah.
21 From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
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 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”
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 behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things 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 Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him 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 desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose 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 will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what will a man 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, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
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 Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of 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.
