Matthew 16
16
CHAPTER 16
1And the Pharisees and the Sadducees came to him tempting [him], and prayed him to show them a token from heaven.
2And he answered, and said to them, When the eventide is come, ye say, It shall be clear, for heaven is ruddy [or red];
3and the morrowtide, Today tempest, for heaven shineth heavily. Then ye know how to deem [wisely] the face of heaven, but ye may not know the tokens of times.
4An evil generation and adulterous seeketh a token; and a token shall not be given to it, but the token of Jonah, the prophet. And when he had left them, he went forth [or went away].
5And when his disciples came over the sea, they forgot to take loaves.
6And he said to them, Behold ye, and beware of the sourdough of Pharisees and of Sadducees.
7And they thought among them-[selves], and said, For we have not taken loaves.
8But Jesus witting said to them, What think ye among you of little faith, for ye have not taken loaves?
9Yet ye understand not, neither have mind, of five loaves into five thousand of men, and how many coffins ye took?
10neither of seven loaves into four thousand of men, and how many baskets ye took?
11Why understand ye not, for I said not to you of bread, Be ye ware of the sourdough of Pharisees and of Sadducees?
12Then they understood, that he said not to beware of [the] sourdough of loaves, but of the teaching of Pharisees and of Sadducees.
13And Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea of Philippi, and asked his disciples, and said, Whom say men to be man’s Son?
14And they said, Some John Baptist; others Elijah; and others Jeremy, or one of the prophets.
15Jesus said to them, But whom say ye me to be?
16Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art Christ, the Son of God living [or the son of quick God].
17Jesus answered, and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood showed not to thee, but my Father that is in heavens.
18And I say to thee, that thou art Peter, and on this stone I shall build my church, and the gates of hell shall not have might or power, [or strength], against it.
19And to thee I shall give the keys of the kingdom of heavens; and what-ever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound also in heavens; and whatever thou shalt unbind on earth, shall be unbound also in heavens.
20Then he commanded to his disciples, that they should say to no man, that he was Jesus Christ.
21From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that it behooved him to go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things, of the elder men [or the elders], and of the scribes, and of princes of priests; and be slain, and the third day to rise again.
22And Peter took him, and began to blame him, and said, Far be it from thee, Lord; this shall not be to thee.
23And he turned, and said to Peter, Satan, go thou after me; thou art a cause of stumbling to me; for thou savourest [or understandest] not those things that be of God, but those things that be of men.
24Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man will come after me, deny he himself, and take his cross, and pursue me;
25for he that will make his life safe, shall lose it; and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.
26For what profiteth it to a man [or what profiteth to a man], if he win all the world, and suffer impairing of his soul? or what exchanging shall a man give for his soul?
27For man’s Son shall come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then he shall yield to every man after his works.
28Truly I say to you, there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste death, till they see man’s Son coming in his kingdom.

Matthew 16
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.”
