< Matthew 16 >
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, did question him, to shew to them a sign from the heaven,
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
2 and he answering said to them, 'Evening having come, ye say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red,
He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 and at morning, Foul weather to-day, for the heaven is red — gloomy; hypocrites, the face of the heavens indeed ye do know to discern, but the signs of the times ye are not able!
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
4 'A generation evil and adulterous doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;' and having left them he went away.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
5 And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
6 and Jesus said to them, 'Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;'
Then Yahushua said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, 'Because we took no loaves.'
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
8 And Jesus having known, said to them, 'Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?
Which when Yahushua perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
9 do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up?
Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
11 how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of bread — to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?'
How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 And Jesus, having come to the parts of Caesarea Philippi, was asking his disciples, saying, 'Who do men say me to be — the Son of Man?'
When Yahushua came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 and they said, 'Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.'
And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, EliYah; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith to them, 'And ye — who do ye say me to be?'
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 and Simon Peter answering said, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'
And Simon Kepha answered and said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim.
17 And Jesus answering said to him, 'Happy art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.
And Yahushua answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 'And I also say to thee, that thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my assembly, and gates of Hades shall not prevail against it; (Hadēs )
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Kepha, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs )
19 and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.'
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ.
Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Yahushua the Messiah.
21 From that time began Jesus to shew to his disciples that it is necessary for him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise.
From that time forth began Yahushua to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, 'Be kind to thyself, sir; this shall not be to thee;'
Then Kepha took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, my master: this shall not be unto thee.
23 and he having turned, said to Peter, 'Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'
But he turned, and said unto Kepha, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of Elohim, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus to his disciples, 'If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me,
Then said Yahushua unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake shall find it,
For whosoever will 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 may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?
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?
27 'For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work.
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.
28 Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of Man coming in his reign.'
Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
