Matthew 16
16
1Tz’dukim (Sadducees) [followers of the right] and P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] came to him, tempting him to show them some sign from heaven.
2Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered them: “Hypocrites, you say in the evening: Tomorrow will be a clear day because the sky is red”.
3“Then in the morning you say: ‘Today it will rain because the sky is dark’. If so, you know the law regarding the appearance of the sky, but you do not know the law regarding the times”.
4“The offspring of evil-doers ask for a sign, but no sign will be given them except the sign of Yonah [dove] the Prophet”. Then he was separated from them and went away.
5When Yeshua [God is Salvation] came to the seashore he told his disciples to beware of their bread. Then he entered a boat with his disciples, but the disciples forgot and did not bring any bread.
6And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] and Tz’dukim (Sadducees) [followers of the right].”
7They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “He said that because we did not bring any bread.”
8Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to them: “You have little understanding who think that you have no bread”.
9“Do you not remember the five loaves and the five thousand men”,
10“Or the seven loaves and the four thousand men, how many baskets were left over?”
11“Therefore you should understand that I am not speaking of natural loaves”
12“but I am saying to you that you should beware of the teachings of the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] and Tz’dukim (Sadducees) [followers of the right]”.
13Yeshua [God is Salvation] went out into the Land of ‘Caesarea [severed] of Philip [friend of horses]’ and asked his disciples saying: “What do men say about me?”
14They said unto him: “Some say ‘he is Yochanan [Yah is gracious] the Baptizer’, some say ‘he is Eliyahu [my God is Yah] u [my God is Yah]’, and some ‘Yirmeyahu [Our God has uplifted]’ or ‘one of the prophets’”.
15Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to them: “What do you say about me?”
16Shim’on [he has heard]; called Kefa [pebble]; answered and said: “You are Ha-Moshiach [Messiah] [The Messiah] [which means ‘the Messiah’], the Son of the Living Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God], who has come into this world”
17Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to him: “Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are you Shim’on [he has heard] bar Yonah [dove], because flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but my Father Who is in heaven”
18“I say to you: ‘You are Even [which means a pebble] and I will build upon you my house of prayer. The fortresses (Daniel 11:38,39) of Hell will not gain the upper hand against you”
19“because I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
20Then he commanded his disciples not to say that he is Ha-Moshiach [Messiah] [The Messiah].
21From then on Yeshua [God is Salvation] began to reveal to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Yerushalayim [abode of peace] and to suffer (allow, to let, permit) the injustice of many, from the chief priests and from the elders of the people until they should kill him; then on the third day he would arise.
22Kefa [pebble] took him aside privately and began to rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) him saying: ‘Far be it that it should be like this to you, Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth]’.
23Yeshua [God is Salvation] turned, looked at him, and said “Go away Satan [the adversary]; do not disobey me, because you do not regard the word of The Mighty One but the words of man”
24Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “Whoever wishes to come after me let him despise himself and come after me”.
25“Everyone who wishes to save his soul will lose it for my sake, and he who loses his life in this world for my sake will save his soul for the life of the world to come”.
26“What profit is there for a man if he should gain the whole world and lose his soul forever; what good exchange does a man make if, for present things that are spoiled, he should give his soul to the judgment of Gei-Hinnom [hell, valley of evil counsel]?”
27“Because the Son of The Mighty One will come in the glory of his Father Who is in heaven with his angels to reward each man according to his work”.
28“Truly I say to you there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of The Mighty One coming in his Kingdom.”

Matthew 16
16
1And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the heaven is red. 3And in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day: for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot discern the signs of the times. 4An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
5And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread. 6And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 7And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread. 8And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread? 9Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 12Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13Now when Jesus came into the parts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? 14And they said, Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 15He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. 18And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ.
21From that time began Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. 22And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee. 23But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men. 24Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life? 27For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds. 28Verily I say unto you, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
