< Matthew 16 >

1 And, the Pharisees and Sadducees coming near, putting him to the test, requested him, a sign out of the heaven, to shew unto them.
And the Pharisees and Sadducees who came, testing, demanded him to exhibit to them a sign from the sky.
2 But, he, answering said unto them— When evening cometh ye say, Fair! for fiery is the heaven;
But having answered, he said to them, When it becomes evening, ye say, Fair weather, for the sky is red.
3 And at morn, To-day, a storm! for fiery, and yet sad, is the heaven. The face of the heaven indeed, ye learn to distinguish, —but, the signs of the times, ye cannot.
And at morning, Bad weather today, for the sky is red, being gloomy. Hypocrites! Ye indeed know how to discern the face of the sky, but the signs of the times ye are not able.
4 A wicked and adulterous generation, a sign, doth seek after, and, a sign, will not be given it, —save the sign of Jonah. And, leaving them behind, he departed.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet. And having left them behind, he departed.
5 And the disciples coming, to the other side, had forgotten to take loaves.
And his disciples having come to the other side, they forgot to take loaves.
6 And, Jesus, said unto them—Mind! and beware, of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
And Jesus said to them, Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 And, they, began to deliberate among themselves, saying—Because, loaves, we took not.
And they deliberated among themselves, saying, We took no loaves.
8 And, observing it, Jesus said—Why are ye deliberating among yourselves, ye little-of-faith! because, loaves, ye have not?
And having known it, Jesus said to them, O ye of little faith, why do ye deliberate among yourselves because ye brought no loaves?
9 Not yet, perceive ye, neither remember, —The five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye received?
Do ye not yet understand, nor 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 hampers ye received?
nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many hampers ye took up?
11 How is it ye perceive not, that, not concerning loaves, spake I unto you, —but beware of the leaven, of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
How do ye not understand that I spoke to you not about bread, to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
12 Then, understood they that he did not bid them beware of [the] leaven [of loaves] but of, the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then they understood that he said not to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 And, Jesus coming into the parts of Caesarea of Philip, began questioning his disciples, saying—Who are men saying that, the Son of Man, is?
Now when Jesus came into the regions of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say I, the Son of man, am?
14 And, they, said—Some, indeed, John the Immerser, and, others, Elijah, —but, others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
And they said, Some, John the immerser, others, Elijah, but others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them—But who say, ye, that I am?
He says to them, But who say ye, I am?
16 And, Simon Peter, answering, said—Thou, art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
And Simon Peter having answered, said, Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus, answering, said to him—Happy, art thou, Simon Bar-yona, —because, flesh and blood, revealed it not unto thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.
And having answered, Jesus said to him, Blessed are thou, Simon Bar-jonah, because flesh and blood has not revealed it to thee, but my Father in the heavens.
18 And, I also, unto thee, say—Thou, art Peter, —and, upon this rock, will I build my assembly, and, the gates of hades, shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
And I also say to thee, that thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 I will give thee, the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, —and, whatsoever thou shalt bind upon the earth, shall be bound in the heavens, and, whatsoever thou shalt loose upon the earth, shall be loosed in the heavens.
And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever thou may bind on earth will be what is bound in the heavens, and whatever thou may loose on the earth will be what is loosed in the heavens.
20 Then, straitly charged he the disciples, lest, to any man, they should say—He, is, the Christ.
Then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no man that he is Jesus, the Christ.
21 From that time, began Jesus Christ to be pointing out to his disciples that he must needs, into Jerusalem, go away, and, many things, suffer, from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, —and on, the third day, arise.
From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scholars, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22 And, taking him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying—Mercy on thee Lord! In nowise, shall, this, befall thee.
And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, Be merciful to thee, Lord. This will, no, not be to thee.
23 But, he, turning, said to Peter—Withdraw behind me, Satan! A snare, art thou of mine, because thou art not regarding the things of God, but the things of men.
But having turned around, he said to Peter, Go thee behind me, Satan. Thou are my stumbling-block, because thou regard not the things of God, but the things of men.
24 Then, Jesus said unto his disciples—If any one intendeth, after me, to come, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and be following me;
Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man wants to come behind me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For, whosoever intendeth, his life, to save, shall lose it, —but, whosoever shall lose his life, for my sake, shall find it.
For whoever wants save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 For what shall a man be profited, though, the whole world, he gain, and, his life, he forfeit? Or what shall a man give, in exchange for his life?
For what does it profit a man, if he should gain the whole world, and lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of Man is destined to be coming, in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, —and, then, will he give back unto each one, according to his practice.
For the Son of man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his agents, and then he will reward each man according to his actions.
28 Verily, I say unto you—There are some of those, here standing, who, indeed, shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the Son of Man, coming in his kingdom.
Truly I say to you, there are some of those who stand here, who will, no, not taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
