Mattithyahu (Matthew) 16
16
1And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.
2And He answering, said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘Fair weather, for the heaven is red,’
3and in the morning, ‘Stormy weather today, for the heaven is red and overcast.’ You know how to discern the face of the heaven, but you are unable to discern the signs of the times!
4A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Yonah. And He left them and went away.
5And His taught ones came to the other side, and had forgotten to take bread.
6And יהושע said to them, “Mind! And beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
7And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “Because we brought no bread!”
8But יהושע, aware of this, said to them, “O you of little belief, why do you reason among yourselves because you brought no bread?
9“Do you still not understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you picked up?
10Or 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 concerning bread, but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”
12Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
13Now when יהושע came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His taught ones, saying, “Who do men say the Son of Aḏam is?”
14And they said, “Some say Yoḥanan the Immerser, and others Ěliyahu, and others Yirmeyahu or one of the prophets.”
15He said to them, “And you, who do you say I am?”
16And Shim‛on Kĕpha answering, said, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim.”#This is repeated in eight more places.
17And יהושע answering, said to him, “Blessed are you, Shim‛on Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.
18And I also say to you that you are Kĕpha, and on this rock I shall build My assembly, and the gates of She’ol#Shem Toḇ reads: GĕHinnom, i.e. ‘valley of weeping’. shall not overcome it.
19And I shall give you the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever you bind on earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever you loosen on earth shall be having been loosened in the heavens.”# Binding and loosening is a Hebrew idiom for exercising authority (to prohibit and permit).
20Then He warned His taught ones that they should say to no one that He is יהושע the Messiah.
21From that time יהושע began to show to His taught ones that it was necessary for Him to go to Yerushalayim, and to suffer much from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and to be raised again the third day.
22And Kĕpha took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, Master, this shall not be to You!”
23But He turned and said to Kĕpha, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to Me, for your thoughts are not those of Elohim, but those of men.”
24Then יהושע said to His taught ones, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his stake, and follow Me.
25“For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it.
26“For what is a man profited if he gains all the world, and loses his own life? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?
27For the Son of Aḏam is going to come in the esteem of His Father with His messengers, and then He shall reward each according to his works.# Psa. 62:12; Pro. 24:12#See also Mat. 21:44; John 5:29; Rom. 2:6; 2Cor. 5:10; Eph. 2:10; Titus 2:7; Titus 2:14; Jas. 2:14-24; Rev. 22:12
28Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death at all until they see the Son of Aḏam coming in His reign:"#See Mat. 17:2-5

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.”
