< Matthew 16 >

1 And the Farisees and the Saducees camen to hym temptynge, and preieden hym to schewe hem a tokene fro heuene.
And the Pharisees and Sadducees came to try him, and asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 And he answeride, and seide to hem, Whanne the euentid is comun, ye seien, It schal be clere, for heuene is rodi;
And he answering said to them, When it is evening, ye say, Fair weather! for the sky is red.
3 and the morewtid, To dai tempest, for heuene schyneth heueli.
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 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.
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 whanne his disciplis camen ouer the see, thei foryaten to take looues.
And the disciples having come to the other side, had forgotten to take bread.
6 And he seide to hem, Biholde ye, and be war of the soure dowy of Farisees and Saducees.
And Jesus said to them, Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 And thei thouyten among hem, and seiden, For we han not take looues.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we took no bread.
8 But Jhesus witynge seide to hem, What thenken ye among you of litel feith, for ye han not looues?
And Jesus knowing it, said, Why are ye reasoning among yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no bread?
9 Yit `vndurstonden not ye, nether han mynde of fyue looues in to fyue thousynde of men, and hou many cofyns ye token?
Do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 nether of seuene looues in to foure thousynde of men, and hou many lepis ye token?
Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
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 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 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 did not bid them beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
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?
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 thei seiden, Summe Joon Baptist; othere Elie; and othere Jeremye, or oon of the prophetis.
And they said, Some, John the Baptist; but some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 Jhesus seide to hem, But whom seien ye me to be?
He saith to them, But who do ye say that I am?
16 Symount Petre answeride, and seide, Thou art Crist, the sone of God lyuynge.
And Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Christ, 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.
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 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)
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 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.
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 Thanne he comaundide to hise disciplis, that thei schulden seie to no man, that he was Crist.
Then he charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
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 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 Petre took hym, and bigan to blame him, and seide, Fer be it fro thee, Lord; this thing schal not 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 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 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 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 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 shal leese it; and he that schal leese his lijf for me, schal fynde 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 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?
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 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 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 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.
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.
