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

The demand for a sign
1The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
2He replied, ‘When evening comes, you say, “It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,” 3and in the morning, “Today it will be stormy, 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.#16:2,3 Some early manuscripts do not have When evening comes… of the times. 4A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.’ Jesus then left them and went away.
The yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. 6‘Be careful,’ Jesus said to them. ‘Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’
7They discussed this among themselves and said, ‘It is because we didn’t bring any bread.’
8Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, ‘You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? 9Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? 10Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? 11How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’ 12Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Peter declares that Jesus is the Messiah
13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say the Son of Man is?’
14They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’
15 ‘But what about you?’ he asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’
16Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’
17Jesus replied, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18And I tell you that you are Peter,#16:18 The Greek word for Peter means rock. and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades#16:18 That is, the realm of the dead will not overcome it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be#16:19 Or will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be#16:19 Or will have been loosed in heaven.’ 20Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Jesus predicts his death
21From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
22Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. ‘Never, Lord!’ he said. ‘This shall never happen to you!’
23Jesus turned and said to Peter, ‘Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.’
24Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25For whoever wants to save their life#16:25 The Greek word means either life or soul; also in verse 26. will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
28 ‘Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.’
