Matthew 16
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, did question him, to shew to them a sign from the heaven,
The Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from the sky.
2 and he answering said to them, 'Evening having come, ye say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red,
But he answered and said to them, “When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
3 and at morning, Foul weather to-day, for the heaven is red — gloomy; hypocrites, the face of the heavens indeed ye do know to discern, but the signs of the times ye are not able!
When it is morning, you say, 'It will be foul weather, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
4 'A generation evil and adulterous doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;' and having left them he went away.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then Jesus left them and went away.
5 And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
6 and Jesus said to them, 'Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;'
Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, 'Because we took no loaves.'
The disciples reasoned among themselves and said, “It is because we took no bread.”
8 And Jesus having known, said to them, 'Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?
Jesus was aware of this and said, “You of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves and say that it is because you have taken no bread?
9 do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up?
Do you not yet perceive or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered up?
10 nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of bread — to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?'
How is it that you do not understand that I was not speaking to you about bread? Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12 Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then they understood that he was not telling them to beware of yeast in bread, but to beware of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 And Jesus, having come to the parts of Caesarea Philippi, was asking his disciples, saying, 'Who do men say me to be — the Son of Man?'
Now when Jesus came to the regions near Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
14 and they said, 'Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.'
They said, “Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
15 He saith to them, 'And ye — who do ye say me to be?'
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 and Simon Peter answering said, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'
Answering, Simon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 And Jesus answering said to him, 'Happy art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 'And I also say to thee, that thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my assembly, and gates of Hades shall not prevail against it; (Hadēs g86)
I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church. The gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.'
I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
20 Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ.
Then Jesus commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was the Christ.
21 From that time began Jesus to shew to his disciples that it is necessary for him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise.
From that time Jesus started to tell his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, suffer many things at the hand of the elders and chief priests and scribes, be killed, and be raised back to life on the third day.
22 And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, 'Be kind to thyself, sir; this shall not be to thee;'
Then Peter took him aside and rebuked him, saying, “May this be far from you, Lord; may this never happen to you.”
23 and he having turned, said to Peter, 'Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'
But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you do not care for the things of God, but for the things of people.”
24 Then said Jesus to his disciples, 'If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me,
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
25 for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake shall find it,
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
26 for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?
For what does it profit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? What can a person give in exchange for his life?
27 'For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work.
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels. Then he will reward every person according to what he has done.
28 Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of Man coming in his reign.'
Truly I say to you, there are some of you standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
