< 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.
The Pharisees also and the Sadducees came, and, tempting, desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven.
2 But, he, answering said unto them— When evening cometh ye say, Fair! for fiery is the heaven;
He answered and said to them, When it is evening, ye say, [It will be] 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 in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to-day: for the sky is red and lowering. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not [discern] the signs of the times?
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.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign; and there shall no sign been to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
5 And the disciples coming, to the other side, had forgotten to take loaves.
And when his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
6 And, Jesus, said unto them—Mind! and beware, of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 And, they, began to deliberate among themselves, saying—Because, loaves, we took not.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have taken no bread.
8 And, observing it, Jesus said—Why are ye deliberating among yourselves, ye little-of-faith! because, loaves, ye have not?
[Which] when Jesus perceived, he said to them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
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, neither 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?
Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets 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 is it that ye do not understand that I spoke not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the 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 did not caution them against the leaven of bread, but against the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the 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?
When Jesus came into the borders of Cesarea Phillippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that 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 [say that thou art] John the Baptist: some Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them—But who say, ye, that I am?
He saith to them, But who say ye that I am?
16 And, Simon Peter, answering, said—Thou, art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art 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 Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon-Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
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 say also to thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church: and the gates of hell shall 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 heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then, straitly charged he the disciples, lest, to any man, they should say—He, is, the Christ.
Then he charged his disciples that they should tell no man that he was 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 forth Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 And, taking him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying—Mercy on thee Lord! In nowise, shall, this, befall thee.
Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall 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 he turned, and said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan; thou art an offense to me: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but those that are 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 said Jesus to his disciples, If any [man] will come after 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 will save 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, though, the whole world, he gain, and, his life, he forfeit? Or what shall a man give, in exchange for his life?
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall 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 will come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he will reward every man according to his works.
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.
Verily I say to you, There are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they shall see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
