Mattityahu (Mat) 16

1Then some P’rushim and Tz’dukim came to trap Yeshua by asking him to show them a miraculous sign from Heaven. 2But his response was, “When it is evening, you say, ‘Fair weather ahead,’ because the sky is red; 3and in the morning you say, ‘Storm today!’ because the sky is red and overcast. You know how to read the appearance of the sky, but you can’t read the signs of the times! 4A wicked and adulterous generation is asking for a sign? It will certainly not be given a sign — except the sign of Yonah!” With that he left them and went off.
5The talmidim, in crossing to the other side of the lake, had forgotten to bring any bread. 6So when Yeshua said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against the hametz of the P’rushim and Tz’dukim,” 7they thought he said it because they hadn’t brought bread. 8But Yeshua, aware of this, said, “Such little trust you have! Why are you talking with each other about not having bread? 9Don’t you understand yet? Don’t you remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you filled? 10Or the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many baskets you filled? 11How can you possibly think I was talking to you about bread? Guard yourselves from the hametz of the P’rushim and Tz’dukim!” 12Then they understood — they were to guard themselves not from yeast for bread but from the teaching of the P’rushim and Tz’dukim.
13When Yeshua came into the territory around Caesarea Philippi, he asked his talmidim, “Who are people saying the Son of Man is?” 14They said, “Well, some say Yochanan the Immerser, others Eliyahu, still others Yirmeyahu or one of the prophets.” 15“But you,” he said to them, “who do you say I am?” 16Shim‘on Kefa answered, “You are the Mashiach, the Son of the living God.” 17“Shim‘on Bar-Yochanan,” Yeshua said to him, “how blessed you are! For no human being revealed this to you, no, it was my Father in heaven. 18I also tell you this: you are Kefa,” [which means ‘Rock,’] “and on this rock I will build my Community, and the gates of Sh’ol will not overcome it. 19I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.” 20Then he warned the talmidim not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
21From that time on, Yeshua began making it clear to his talmidim that he had to go to Yerushalayim and endure much suffering at the hands of the elders, the head cohanim and the Torah-teachers; and that he had to be put to death; but that on the third day, he had to be raised to life. 22Kefa took him aside and began rebuking him, “Heaven be merciful, Lord! By no means will this happen to you!” 23But Yeshua turned his back on Kefa, saying, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle in my path, because your thinking is from a human perspective, not from God’s perspective!”
24Then Yeshua told his talmidim, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him say ‘No’ to himself, take up his execution-stake, and keep following me. 25For whoever wants to save his own life will destroy it, but whoever destroys his life for my sake will find it. 26What good will it do someone if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or, what can a person give in exchange for his life? 27For the Son of Man will come in his Father’s glory, with his angels; and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct. 28Yes! I tell you that there are some people standing here who will not experience death until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom!”

1And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to him, asked him, tempting him, to shew them a sign out of heaven. 2But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine weather, for the sky is red; 3and in the morning, A storm to-day, for the sky is red and lowering; ye know how to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot the signs of the times. 4A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas. And he left them and went away.
5And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 7And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread. 8And Jesus knowing it, said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread? 9Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up? 10nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11How do ye not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? 12Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am? 14And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets. 15He says to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? 16And Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens. 18And I also, I say unto thee that thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it. 19And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens. 20Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ.
21From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised. 22And Peter taking him to him began to rebuke him, saying, God be favourable to thee, Lord; this shall in no wise be unto thee. 23But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.
24Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to each according to his doings. 28Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
