Matthew 16
1 Then came the Pharises and Sadduces, and did tempt him, desiring him to shew them a signe from heauen.
法利賽人和撒都該人來試探耶穌，請他從天上顯個神蹟給他們看。
2 But he answered, and said vnto them, When it is euening, ye say, Faire wether: for ye skie is red.
耶穌回答說：「晚上天發紅，你們就說：『天必要晴。』
3 And in the morning ye say, To day shall be a tempest: for the skie is red and lowring. O hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the skie, and can ye not discerne the signes of the times?
早晨天發紅，又發黑，你們就說：『今日必有風雨。』你們知道分辨天上的氣色，倒不能分辨這時候的神蹟。
4 The wicked generation, and adulterous seeketh a signe, but there shall no signe be giuen it, but that signe of the Prophet Ionas: so hee left them, and departed.
一個邪惡淫亂的世代求神蹟，除了約拿的神蹟以外，再沒有神蹟給他看。」耶穌就離開他們去了。
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread with them.
門徒渡到那邊去，忘了帶餅。
6 Then Iesus said vnto them, Take heede and beware of the leauen of the Pharises and Sadduces.
耶穌對他們說：「你們要謹慎，防備法利賽人和撒都該人的酵。」
7 And they reasoned among themselues, saying, It is because we haue brought no bread.
門徒彼此議論說：「這是因為我們沒有帶餅吧。」
8 But Iesus knowing it, saide vnto them, O ye of litle faith, why reason you thus among your selues, because ye haue brought no bread?
耶穌看出來，就說：「你們這小信的人，為甚麼因為沒有餅彼此議論呢？
9 Doe ye not yet perceiue, neither remember the fiue loaues, when there were fiue thousand men, and how many baskets tooke ye vp?
你們還不明白嗎？不記得那五個餅分給五千人、又收拾了多少籃子的零碎嗎？
10 Neither the seuen loaues when there were foure thousande men, and howe many baskets tooke ye vp?
也不記得那七個餅分給四千人、又收拾了多少筐子的零碎嗎？
11 Why perceiue ye not that I said not vnto you concerning bread, that ye shoulde beware of the leauen of the Pharises and Sadduces?
我對你們說：『要防備法利賽人和撒都該人的酵』，這話不是指着餅說的，你們怎麼不明白呢？」
12 Then vnderstood they that he had not said that they should beware of the leauen of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharises, and Sadduces.
門徒這才曉得他說的不是叫他們防備餅的酵，乃是防備法利賽人和撒都該人的教訓。
13 Nowe when Iesus came into the coastes of Cesarea Philippi, hee asked his disciples, saying, Whome doe men say that I, the sonne of man am?
耶穌到了凱撒利亞‧腓立比的境內，就問門徒說：「人說我－－人子是誰？」
14 And they said, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and others, Ieremias, or one of the Prophets.
他們說：「有人說是施洗的約翰；有人說是以利亞；又有人說是耶利米或是先知裏的一位。」
15 He said vnto them, But whome say ye that I am?
耶穌說：「你們說我是誰？」
16 Then Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art that Christ, the Sonne of the liuing God.
西門‧彼得回答說：「你是基督，是永生上帝的兒子。」
17 And Iesus answered, and saide to him, Blessed art thou, Simon, the sonne of Ionas: for flesh and blood hath not reueiled it vnto thee, but my Father which is in heauen.
耶穌對他說：「西門‧巴‧約拿，你是有福的！因為這不是屬血肉的指示你的，乃是我在天上的父指示的。
18 And I say also vnto thee, that thou art Peter, and vpon this rocke I will builde my Church: and ye gates of hell shall not ouercome it. (Hadēs g86)
我還告訴你，你是彼得，我要把我的教會建造在這磐石上；陰間的權柄不能勝過他。 (Hadēs g86)
19 And I will giue vnto thee the keyes of the kingdome of heauen, and whatsoeuer thou shalt binde vpon earth, shalbe bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heauen.
我要把天國的鑰匙給你，凡你在地上所捆綁的，在天上也要捆綁；凡你在地上所釋放的，在天上也要釋放。」
20 Then hee charged his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was Iesus that Christ.
當下，耶穌囑咐門徒，不可對人說他是基督。
21 From that time foorth Iesus beganne to shewe vnto his disciples, that he must goe vnto Hierusalem, and suffer many thinges of the Elders, and of the hie Priestes, and Scribes, and be slaine, and be raised againe the thirde day.
從此，耶穌才指示門徒，他必須上耶路撒冷去，受長老、祭司長、文士許多的苦，並且被殺，第三日復活。
22 Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, Master, pitie thy selfe: this shall not be vnto thee.
彼得就拉着他，勸他說：「主啊，萬不可如此！這事必不臨到你身上。」
23 Then he turned backe, and said vnto Peter, Get thee behinde me, Satan: thou art an offence vnto me, because thou vnderstandest not the thinges that are of God, but the thinges that are of men.
耶穌轉過來，對彼得說：「撒但，退我後邊去吧！你是絆我腳的；因為你不體貼上帝的意思，只體貼人的意思。」
24 Iesus then saide to his disciples, If any man will follow me, let him forsake himselfe: and take vp his crosse, and follow me.
於是耶穌對門徒說：「若有人要跟從我，就當捨己，背起他的十字架來跟從我。
25 For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake, shall finde it.
因為，凡要救自己生命的，必喪掉生命；凡為我喪掉生命的，必得着生命。
26 For what shall it profite a man though he should winne the whole worlde, if hee lose his owne soule? or what shall a man giue for recompence of his soule?
人若賺得全世界，賠上自己的生命，有甚麼益處呢？人還能拿甚麼換生命呢？
27 For the Sonne of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his Angels, and then shall he giue to euery man according to his deedes.
人子要在他父的榮耀裏，同着眾使者降臨；那時候，他要照各人的行為報應各人。
28 Verely I say vnto you, there bee some of them that stande here, which shall not taste of death, till they haue seene the Sonne of man come in his kingdome.
我實在告訴你們，站在這裏的，有人在沒嘗死味以前必看見人子降臨在他的國裏。」
