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 and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 and he answering said to them, 'Evening having come, ye say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red,
But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you 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!
In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot 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.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of Jonah." He left them, and departed.
5 And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
6 and Jesus said to them, 'Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;'
Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
7 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, 'Because we took no loaves.'
They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
8 And Jesus having known, said to them, 'Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?
But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having 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 you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you 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?'
Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and 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 they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

14 and they said, 'Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.'
They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
15 He saith to them, 'And ye — who do ye say me to be?'
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 and Simon Peter answering said, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
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 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.
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 g86)
I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
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.'
I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will 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 he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Christ.

22 And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, 'Be kind to thyself, sir; this shall not be to thee;'
Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
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 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 humans."
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 Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to 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 whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will 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 will it profit a person, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?
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 will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
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.'
Truly 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."
