And Pharisees and Sadducees came near, tempting him, and asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, [It will be] fair weather: for the heaven is red.
But he answered, and said to them: When it is evening ye say, It will be fair weather; for the heavens are red.
3 And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to-day: for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot [discern] the signs of the times.
And in the morning ye say, There will be a storm to-day; for the heavens are sadly red. Ye hypocrites, ye are intelligent to discover the aspect of the heavens, but the signs of this time ye have no skill to discern.
4 An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
A wicked and adulterous generation asketh for a sign; but no sign shall be given it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
5 And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread.

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread.
And they reasoned among themselves, and said, it was because they had taken no bread.
8 And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread?
But Jesus knew it and said to them: O ye small in faith! why reason ye among yourselves because ye have taken no bread?
9 Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Have ye not yet understood? Do ye not remember the five loaves and the five thousand, and the many baskets ye took up?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Nor the seven loaves and the four thousand, and the many baskets ye took up?
11 How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
How is it that ye do not understand that it was not concerning bread that I spoke to you; but that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then understood they, that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

18 And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
Also I say to thee, that thou art Cephas: and upon this rock, I will build my church: and the gates of death shall not triumph over it. (Hadēs g86)
19 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.
To thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever thou shalt unbind on earth, shall be unbound in heaven.

And Cephas took him, and began to rebuke him; and he said: Far be it from thee, my Lord, that this should be to thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.
But he turned, and said to Cephas: Get thee behind me, Satan: Thou art a stumbling block to me; for thou thinkest not the things of God, but the things of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Then said Jesus to his disciples: If any one desireth to come after me, let him deny himself; and let him bear his cross, and come after me.
25 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.
For, whoever chooseth to preserve his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
26 For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?
For what will it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and shall lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds.
For the Son of man is to come in the glory of his Father, with all his holy angels; and then will he recompense to every man as his deeds are.
28 Verily I say unto you, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Verily I say to you: There are some persons standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
