Matthew 16

Pharisees and Sadducees Test Jesus
1The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and putting Jesus to the test, they asked Him to show them a #16:1 I.e., confirming miraclesign from heaven. 2But He replied to them, “#16:2 Early mss do not contain the rest of v 2 and v 3When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to discern the #16:3 Lit faceappearance of the sky, but are you unable to discern the signs of the times? 4An evil and adulterous generation wants a #16:4 I.e., confirming miraclesign; and so a #16:4 I.e., confirming miraclesign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.
5And the disciples came to the other side of the sea, but they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the #16:6 I.e., fermented doughleaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “He said that because we did not bring any bread.” 8But Jesus, aware of this, said, “You men of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? 9Do you not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you picked up? 10Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large baskets you picked up? 11How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? But beware of the #16:11 I.e., as a symbol of corruptionleaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the #16:12 I.e., fermented doughleaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Peter’s Confession of Christ
13Now when Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, #16:14 Gr EliasElijah; and still others, #16:14 Gr JeremiasJeremiah, or one of the other prophets.” 15He *said to them, “But who do you yourselves say that I am?” 16Simon Peter answered, “You are the #16:16 I.e., MessiahChrist, the Son of the living God.” 17And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon #16:17 I.e., son of JonahBarjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18And I also say to you that you are #16:18 Gr Petros, a stonePeter, and upon this #16:18 Gr petra, massive rock formation; bedrockrock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you #16:19 I.e., forbidbind on earth #16:19 Gr fut. pft. pass. tenseshall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you #16:19 I.e., permitloose on earth #16:19 Gr fut. pft. pass. tenseshall have been loosed in heaven.” 20Then He gave the disciples strict orders that they were to tell no one that He was the #16:20 I.e., MessiahChrist.
Jesus Foretells His Death
21From that time #16:21 Two early mss Jesus ChristJesus began to #16:21 Or showpoint out to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem and to suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised up on the third day. 22And yet Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “#16:22 Lit (God be) merciful to YouGod forbid it, Lord! This shall never #16:22 Lit behappen to You!” 23But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on #16:23 Lit the things of GodGod’s purposes, but men’s.”
Discipleship Is Costly
24Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. 25For whoever wants to save his #16:25 Or soullife will lose it; but whoever loses his #16:25 Or soullife for My sake will find it. 26For what good will it do a person if he gains the whole world, but #16:26 I.e., suffers the loss offorfeits his soul? Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul? 27For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every person according to his #16:27 Lit activitydeeds.
28 “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

S. Matthew 16
16
1And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and tempting him asked him to shew 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 today: for the heaven is red and lowring. 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 how 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 Caesarea 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 which 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 shew unto his disciples, how 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 be some of them that stand here, which shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
