Mk 8.11-12; Lk 11.16,29; 12.54-56; Mt 12.38-39; Jn 2.18; 6.30. And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2He answered them,#16.2 Other ancient authorities omit the following words to the end of verse 3 “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather; for the sky is red.’ 3And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4#Jon 3.4-5. An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.

Mk 8.13-21. When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6#Lk 12.1. Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7And they discussed it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.” 8#Mt 6.30; 8.26; 14.31. But Jesus, aware of this, said, “O men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? 9#Mt 14.17-21. Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 10#Mt 15.34-38. Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 11How is it that you fail to perceive that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Mk 8.27-30; Lk 9.18-21. Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that the Son of man is?” 14#Mt 14.2; Mk 6.15; Lk 9.7-18; Jn 1.21. And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16#Mt 1.16; Jn 11.27; 1.49. Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17#1 Cor 15.50; Gal 1.16; Eph 6.12; Heb 2.14. And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18#Jn 1.40-42; 21.15-17; 1 Cor 15.5. And I tell you, you are Peter,#16.18 Greek Petros and on this rock#16.18 Greek petra I will build my church, and the powers of death#16.18 Greek the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19#Is 22.22; Rev 1.18; Mt 18.18; Jn 20.23. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” 20#Mt 8.4; Mk 3.12; 5.43; 7.36; 9.9. Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

Mk 8.31—9.1; Lk 9.22-27. #Mt 17.22-23; 20.17-19; Lk 17.25; Mt 17.12; 26.2. From 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 on the third day be raised. 22And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying, “God forbid, Lord! This shall never happen to you.” 23#Mt 4.10. But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance#16.23 Greek stumbling block to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men.”

Mt 10.38-39; Lk 14.27; 17.33; Jn 12.25. Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life? 27#Mt 10.33; Lk 12.9; 1 Jn 2.28; Rom 2.6; Rev 22.12. For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done. 28#Mt 10.23; 1 Cor 16.22; 1 Thess 4.15-18; Rev 1.7; Jas 5.7. Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”

Matthew 16
16
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.
