Mattityahu 16
16
1And the Perushim and Tzedukim approached, to test Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, asking him to present them with an ot (sign) from Shomayim.
2But in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, When it is erev, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is fiery red.
3And in the boker (morning) you say, There will be stormy weather today, for the sky is overcast fiery red and threatening. You have daas to distinguish the signs of the appearance of the sky, but you can't discern the signs of the times?#16:3 T.N. See Ro 1:18
4A dor rah umnaef (an evil and adulterous generation) demands an ot (sign), and no ot will be given it except the ot of Yonah HaNavi. And having left them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went away.
5When the Moshiachʼs talmidim arrived at the other side, they had forgotten to take lechem.
6But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Take special precaution against the chametz (swelling leaven) of the Perushim and Tzedukim.
7But they began reasoning among themselves, saying, We took no lechem.
8But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, aware of their machshavot (thoughts), said, You men of little emunah, why do you reason among yourselves that you have no lechem?
9Do you not yet have binah or remember the five loaves of the chamesh elafim (five thousand), and how many baskets full you took up?
10Or the shevah loaves of the arbaat elafim (four thousand), and how many large baskets full you took up?
11How is it that you do not chap (grasp mentally) that I did not speak to you concerning lechem? But beware of the chametz (swelling, all-permeating leaven)#16:11 like evil, like gaavah, pride of the Perushim and Tzedukim.
12Then Moshiachʼs talmidim understood that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not say to beware of the chametz of the lechem, but of the chametz of the teaching of the Perushim and the Tzedukim.
13Now, having arrived in the district of Caesarea Philippi, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began asking his talmidim, saying, Who do men say that [I] the Bar Enosh am?
14And Moshiachʼs talmidim said, Some say Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva, and others say, Eliyahu HaNavi, but still others say, Yirmeyah or one of the Neviim.
15He says to them, But you, who do you consider me to be?
16And, Shim'on Kefa said in reply, You are the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, the Ben Elohim Chayyim!
17And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply to him, Ashrey atah (happy are you), Shim'on Bar-Yonah, because basar vadahm (flesh and blood) did not give you this hisgalus (revelation), but Avi shbaShomayim.
18And I also say to you that you are Shim'on Kefa#16:18 Petros and upon this TSUR I will build my Kehillah, my Chavurah (the Community of Moshiach) and the shaarei Sheol (gates of Sheol) shall not overpower it.
19I will give you the maftechot Malchut HaShomayim (keys of the Kingdom of Heaven); and whatever you shall bind as asur (prohibited) on haaretz shall be bound as asur (prohibited) in Shomayim, and whatever you shall loose as mutar (permitted) on haaretz shall be loosed as mutar (permitted) in Shomayim.
20Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave the directive to his talmidim that they should tell no one that he was the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
21From that point he began to explain to his talmidim that it was necessary that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach go to Yerushalayim, and suffer many things from the Zekenim (Elders), and the Rashei Hakohanim (the Chief Priests) and the Sofrim (Scribes) and it was necessary for Moshiach to be killed and have his histalkus (passing), that he would undergo the Techiyas HaMoshiach (Resurrection of Moshiach) on Yom HaShlishi.
22And Kefa took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, Chas vshalom (G-d forbid)! Adoni, this shall never happen to you!
23But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach turned and said to Kefa, Get behind me, HaSatan! You are a michshol (stumbling block) to me; for you are not setting your mind on the things of Hashem, but the things of Bnei Adam!
24Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to his talmidim, If anyone wishes to come after me, let him turn in hinnazrut (self-denial), and take up his etz shel mesiros nefesh (tree of self-sacrifice), and follow me.
25For whoever wishes to save his nefesh shall lose it; but whoever loses his nefesh on account of me#16:25 Moshiach shall find it.
26For what will a man be benefited if he acquires the whole world and forfeits his neshamah, or what will a man give in exchange for his neshamah?
27For the Bar Enosh#16:27 Moshiach is about to come in the kavod of his Av with his malachim and will then recompense every man according to his ma'asim.
28Omein, I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who shall not taste death until they see the Bias of the Bar Enosh#16:28 Moshiach coming in his Malchut.

Matthew 16
16
1And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, did question him, to shew to them a sign from the heaven,
2and he answering said to them, ‘Evening having come, ye say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red,
3and 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!
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.
5And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
6and Jesus said to them, ‘Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;’
7and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, ‘Because we took no loaves.’
8And Jesus having known, said to them, ‘Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?
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 I did not speak to you of bread — to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?’
12Then 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.
13And 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?’
14and they said, ‘Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.’
15He saith to them, ‘And ye — who do ye say me to be?’
16and Simon Peter answering said, ‘Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
17And 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.
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;
19and 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.’
20Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ.
21From 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.
22And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, ‘Be kind to thyself, sir; this shall not be to thee;’
23and 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.’
24Then 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,
25for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake shall find it,
26for 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?
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.
28Verily 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.’
