Matthew 16
- 1The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
- 2He answered and said to them, When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather. For the sky is red.
- 3And in the morning, It will be foul weather today. For the sky is red and threatening. O you hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky, but can you not discern the signs of the times?
- 4A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and went away.
- 5And when his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
- 6Then Jesus said to them, Watch and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
- 7And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
- 8When Jesus noticed it, he said to them, O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?
- 9Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
- 10Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
- 11How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? You should beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
- 12Then they understood that he had not told them to beware of the yeast in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
- 13When Jesus came into the regions of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am?
- 14And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist. Some, Elijah. And others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
- 15He says to them, But who do you say that I am?
- 16And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
- 17And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona. For flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but my Father in heaven.
- 18And I also say to you, You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
- 19And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth shall be released in heaven.
- 20Then he charged his disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
- 21From 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 scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
- 22Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Far be it from you, Lord. This shall not happen to you.
- 23But he turned and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan. You are a stumbling block to me. You do not set your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men.
- 24Then Jesus said to his disciples, If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
- 25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it. And whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
- 26For what is a man profited, if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
- 27For 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.
- 28Truly I say to you, There are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
