Matthew 16

1And the PhariseesG5330 and SadduceesG4523 cameG4334, and trying him askedG1905 him to showG1925 them a signG4592 from heavenG3772. 2But he answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, When it is eveningG3798, ye sayG3004, It will be fair weather: for the heavenG3772 is redG4449. 3And in the morningG4404, It will be foul weather to-day: for the heavenG3772 is redG4449 and lowering. Ye knowG1097 how to discernG1252 the faceG4383 of the heavenG3772; but ye cannot discernG1252 the signsG4592 of the timesG2540. 4An evilG4190 and adulterousG3428 generationG1074 seeketh after a signG4592; and there shall no signG4592 be givenG1325 unto it, but the signG4592 of JonahG2495. And he leftG2641 them, and departedG565.

5And the disciplesG3101 cameG2064 to the otherG4008 sideG4008 and forgot to takeG2983 breadG740. 6And JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, TakeG4337 heed and bewareG4337 of the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330 and SadduceesG4523. 7And they reasonedG1260 among themselves, sayingG3004, We tookG2983 no breadG740. 8And JesusG2424 perceiving it saidG3004, O ye of little faith, whyG5101 reasonG1260 ye among yourselves, because ye have no breadG740? 9Do ye not yet perceive, neither rememberG3421 the fiveG4002 loavesG740 of the fiveG4002 thousandG4000, and howG4214 manyG4214 baskets ye tookG2983 up? 10Neither the sevenG2033 loavesG740 of the fourG5070 thousandG5070, and howG4214 manyG4214 basketsG4711 ye tookG2983 up? 11HowG4459 is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerningG4012 breadG740? But bewareG4337 of the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330 and SadduceesG4523. 12Then understoodG4920 they that he bade them not bewareG4337 of the leavenG2219 of breadG740, but of the teachingG1322 of the PhariseesG5330 and SadduceesG4523.

13NowG1161 when JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the partsG3313 of Cæsarea PhilippiG5376, he askedG2065 his disciplesG3101, sayingG3004, Who do menG444 sayG3004 that the SonG5207 of manG444 isG1510? 14And they saidG3004, Some sayG3004 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910; some, ElijahG2243; and othersG243, JeremiahG2408, or oneG1520 of the prophetsG4396. 15He saith unto them, But who sayG3004 ye that I amG1510? 16And SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 and saidG3004, Thou art the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316. 17And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Blessed art thou, SimonG4613 Bar-Jonah: for fleshG4561 and bloodG129 hath not revealedG601 it unto thee, but my FatherG3962 who isG1510 in heavenG3772. 18And I alsoG2532 sayG3004 unto thee, that thou art PeterG4074, and upon this rockG4073 I will buildG3618 my churchG1577; and the gatesG4439 of HadesG86 shall not prevail against it. 19I will giveG1325 unto thee the keysG2807 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772: and whatsoever thou shalt bindG1210 on earthG1093 shall beG1510 boundG1210 in heavenG3772; and whatsoever thou shalt looseG3089 on earthG1093 shall beG1510 loosedG3089 in heavenG3772. 20ThenG5119 charged he the disciplesG3101 that they should tellG3004 no man that he wasG1510 the ChristG5547.

21From that time beganG757 JesusG2424 to showG1166 unto his disciplesG3101, that he must goG565 unto JerusalemG2414, and sufferG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183 of the eldersG4245 and chiefG749 priestsG749 and scribesG1122, and be killedG615, and the thirdG5154 dayG2250 be raisedG1453 up. 22And PeterG4074 took him, and beganG757 to rebukeG2008 him, sayingG3004, BeG1510 it far from thee, LordG2962: this shall never beG1510 unto thee. 23But he turnedG4762, and saidG3004 unto PeterG4074, Get thee behind me, SatanG4567: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of GodG2316, but the things of menG444. 24Then saidG3004 JesusG2424 unto his disciplesG3101, If any man would comeG2064 after me, let him denyG533 himself, and takeG142 up his crossG4716, and followG190 me. 25For whosoever would saveG4982 his lifeG5590 shall loseG622 it: and whosoever shall loseG622 his lifeG5590 for my sakeG1752 shall findG2147 it. 26For what shall a manG444 be profitedG5623, if he shall gainG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, and forfeit his lifeG5590? or what shall a manG444 giveG1325 in exchangeG465 for his lifeG5590? 27For the SonG5207 of manG444 shall comeG2064 in the gloryG1391 of his FatherG3962 with his angelsG32; and then shall he renderG591 unto every manG444 accordingG2596 to his deedsG4234. 28Verily I sayG3004 unto you, There areG1510 some of them that standG2476 hereG5602, who shall in no wise tasteG1089 of deathG2288, till they seeG3708 the SonG5207 of manG444 comingG2064 in his kingdomG932.
