Matthew 16
1 And the Farisees and the Saducees camen to hym temptynge, and preieden hym to schewe hem a tokene fro heuene.
Thither some Pharisees and Sadducees repaired, who, to try him, desired that he would show them a sign in the sky.
2 And he answeride, and seide to hem, Whanne the euentid is comun, ye seien, It schal be clere, for heuene is rodi;
He answering, said to them, In the evening you say, it will be fair weather, for the sky is red:
3 and the morewtid, To dai tempest, for heuene schyneth heueli.
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 Thanne ye kunne deme the face of heuene, but ye moun not wite the tokenes of tymes. An yuel generacioun and auoutresse sekith a tokene; and a tokene schal not be youun to it, but the tokene of Jonas, the profete. And whanne he hadde left hem, he wente forth.
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 whanne his disciplis camen ouer the see, thei foryaten to take looues.
Now his disciples, before they came over, had forgot to bring loaves with them.
6 And he seide to hem, Biholde ye, and be war of the soure dowy of Farisees and Saducees.
Jesus said to them, Take head, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 And thei thouyten among hem, and seiden, For we han not take looues.
On which they said, reasoning among themselves, This is because we have brought no loaves with us.
8 But Jhesus witynge seide to hem, What thenken ye among you of litel feith, for ye han not looues?
Jesus perceiving it, said, What do you reason amongst yourselves, O you distrustful! that I speak thus, because you have brought no loaves.
9 Yit `vndurstonden not ye, nether han mynde of fyue looues in to fyue thousynde of men, and hou many cofyns ye token?
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 nether of seuene looues in to foure thousynde of men, and hou many lepis ye token?
nor the seven loaves among the four thousand, and how many hand-baskets you filled?
11 Whi vndurstonden ye not, for Y seide not to you of breed, Be ye war of the sourdowy of Farisees and of Saducees?
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 Thanne thei vndurstooden, that he seide not to be war of sourdowy of looues, but of the techyng of Farisees and Saducees.
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 And Jhesus cam in to the parties of Cesarie of Filip, and axide hise disciplis, and seide, Whom seien men to be mannus sone?
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 thei seiden, Summe Joon Baptist; othere Elie; and othere Jeremye, or oon of the prophetis.
They answered, Some say, John the Immerser; others, Elijah; others, Jeremiah, or one of the Prophets.
15 Jhesus seide to hem, But whom seien ye me to be?
But who, returned he, do you say that I am?
16 Symount Petre answeride, and seide, Thou art Crist, the sone of God lyuynge.
Simon Peter answering, said, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
17 Jhesus answeride, and seide to him, Blessid art thou, Symount Bariona; for fleisch and blood schewide not to thee, but my fadir that is in heuenes.
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 Y seie to thee, that thou art Petre, and on this stoon Y schal bilde my chirche, and the yatis of helle schulen not haue miyt ayens 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 to thee Y shal yyue the keies of the kingdom of heuenes; and what euer thou shalt bynde on erthe, schal be boundun also in heuenes; and what euer thou schalt vnbynde on erthe, schal be vnbounden also in heuenes.
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 Thanne he comaundide to hise disciplis, that thei schulden seie to no man, that he was Crist.
Then he forbade his disciples to tell any many that he is the Messiah.
21 Fro that tyme Jhesus bigan to schewe to hise disciplis, that it bihofte hym go to Jerusalem, and suffre many thingis, of the eldere men, and of scribis, and princis of prestis; and be slayn, and the thridde dai to rise ayen.
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 And Petre took hym, and bigan to blame him, and seide, Fer be it fro thee, Lord; this thing schal 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 And he turnede, and seide to Petre, Sathanas, go after me; thou art a sclaundre to me; for thou sauerist not tho thingis that ben of God, but tho thingis that ben 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 Thanne Jhesus seide to his disciplis, If ony man wole come after me, denye he hym silf, and take his cros, and sue me; for he that wole make his lijf saaf,
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 shal leese it; and he that schal leese his lijf for me, schal fynde 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 profitith it to a man, if he wynne al the world, and suffre peiryng of his soule? or what chaunging schal a man yyue for his soule?
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 mannes sone schal come in glorie of his fader, with his aungels, and thanne he schal yelde to ech man after his werkis.
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 Treuli Y seie to you, `ther ben summe of hem that stonden here, whiche schulen not taste deth, til thei seen mannus sone comynge in his kyngdom.
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.
