Mattheum 16
1 Et accesserunt ad eum Pharisaei, et Sadducaei tentantes: et rogaverunt eum ut signum de caelo ostenderet eis.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus, demanding that he show them a sign from heaven.
2 At ille respondens, ait illis: Facto vespere dicitis: Serenum erit, rubicundum est enim caelum.
Jesus replied, “In the evening you say, ‘It'll be a fine day tomorrow, because the sky is red,’
3 Et mane: Hodie tempestas, rutilat enim triste caelum.
while in the morning you say, ‘It'll be bad weather today, because the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to predict the weather by what the sky looks like, but you can't recognize the signs of the times!
4 Faciem ergo caeli diiudicare nostis: signa autem temporum non potestis scire? Generatio mala et adultera signum quaerit: et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionae prophetae. Et relictis illis, abiit.
Evil people who don't trust in God are the ones who look for a miraculous sign, and no sign will be given to them except the sign of Jonah.” He left them and went away.
5 Et cum venissent discipuli eius trans fretum, obliti sunt panes accipere.
Going to the other side of the lake, the disciples forgot to bring bread with them.
6 Qui dixit illis: Intuemini, et cavete a fermento Pharisaeorum, et Sadducaeorum.
“Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,” Jesus told them.
7 At illi cogitabant inter se dicentes: Quia panes non accepimus.
The disciples started arguing among themselves. “He's saying that because we didn't bring any bread,” they concluded.
8 Sciens autem Iesus, dixit: Quid cogitatis inter vos modicae fidei, quia panes non habetis?
Jesus knew what they were saying and said, “You have so little trust in me! Why are you arguing among yourselves about not having any bread?
9 Nondum intelligitis, neque recordamini quinque panum in quinque millia hominum, et quot cophinos sumpsistis?
Haven't you worked it out yet? Don't you remember the five loaves that fed five thousand? How many baskets of leftovers did you collect?
10 neque septem panum in quattuor millia hominum, et quot sportas sumpsistis?
And what about the seven loaves that fed the four thousand? How many baskets of leftovers did you collect?
11 Quare non intelligitis, quia non de pane dixi vobis: Cavete a fermento Pharisaeorum, et Sadducaeorum?
Haven't you worked it out yet that I wasn't talking to you about bread? Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”
12 Tunc intellexerunt quia non dixerit cavendum a fermento panum, sed a doctrina Pharisaeorum, et Sadducaeorum.
Then they realized that he wasn't warning them to watch out for bread yeast, but about the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Venit autem Iesus in partes Caesareae Philippi: et interrogabat discipulos suos, dicens: Quem dicunt homines esse Filium hominis?
When Jesus arrived in the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of man is?”
14 At illi dixerunt: Alii Ioannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero Ieremiam, aut unum ex prophetis.
“Some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets,” they replied.
15 Dicit illis Iesus: Vos autem quem me esse dicitis?
“But what about you?” he asked them. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Respondens Simon Petrus dixit: Tu es Christus, filius Dei vivi.
“You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God,” Simon Peter replied.
17 Respondens autem Iesus, dixit ei: Beatus es Simon Bariona: quia caro, et sanguis non revelavit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in caelis est.
“You are truly blessed, Simon son of John,” Jesus told him. “For this wasn't revealed to you by human flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.
18 Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam, et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversus eam. (Hadēs g86)
I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church and the powers of death won't overcome it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Et tibi dabo claves regni caelorum. Et quodcumque ligaveris super terram, erit ligatum et in caelis: et quodcumque solveris super terram, erit solutum et in caelis.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you ban on earth will be banned in heaven, and whatever you allow on earth will be allowed in heaven.”
20 Tunc praecepit discipulis suis ut nemini dicerent quia ipse esset Iesus Christus.
Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
21 Exinde coepit Iesus ostendere discipulis suis, quia oporteret eum ire Ierosolymam, et multa pati a senioribus, et Scribis, et principibus sacerdotum, et occidi, et tertia die resurgere.
From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he would have to go Jerusalem, and that he would suffer terribly at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and religious teachers; and that he would be killed, but he would rise again on the third day.
22 Et assumens eum Petrus, coepit increpare illum dicens: Absit a te, Domine: non erit tibi hoc.
Peter took Jesus aside and started to tell him he shouldn't talk like that. “God forbid, Lord, that this would ever happen to you!” he said.
23 Qui conversus, dixit Petro: Vade post me satana, scandalum es mihi: quia non sapis ea, quae Dei sunt, sed ea, quae hominum.
Jesus turned to Peter, and told him, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a trap to trip me up, because you're thinking in a human way, and not as God thinks!”
24 Tunc Iesus dixit discipulis suis: Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam, et sequatur me.
Then Jesus told his disciples, “If you want to be a follower of mine, you must deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me.
25 Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet eam. qui autem perdiderit animam suam propter me, inveniet eam.
For if you want to save your life you will lose it, and if you lose your life for my sake you will save it.
26 Quid enim prodest homini, si mundum universum lucretur, animae vero suae detrimentum patiatur? Aut quam dabit homo commutationem pro anima sua?
What benefit is it for you to gain the whole world, yet lose your life? What would you give in exchange for your life?
27 Filius enim hominis venturus est in gloria Patris sui cum angelis suis: et tunc reddet unicuique secundum opera eius.
For the Son of man is going to come in his Father's glory, together with his angels. Then he will give everyone what they deserve according to what they've done.
28 Amen dico vobis, sunt quidam de hic stantibus, qui non gustabunt mortem, donec videant Filium hominis venientem in regno suo.
I tell you the truth, there are some standing here who won't die before they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
