Matthew 16:9-28

9Do you not yetG3768 understandG3539 norG3761 rememberG3421 1the fiveG4002 loavesG740 of the fiveG4000 thousandG4000, and howG4214 manyG4214 basketsG2894 you pickedG2983 up? 10NorG3761 2the sevenG2033 loavesG740 of the fourG5070 thousandG5070, and howG4214 manyG4214 largeG4711 basketsG4711 you pickedG2983 up? 11HowG4459 is it that you do not understandG3539 that I did not speakG3004 to you aboutG4012 breadG740? But 3bewareG4337 of the 4leavenG2219 of the 5PhariseesG5330 and SadduceesG4523.” 12ThenG5119 they understoodG4920 that He did not sayG3004 to bewareG4337 of the 6leavenG2219 of breadG740, but of the teachingG1322 of the 7PhariseesG5330 and SadduceesG4523.

138NowG1161 when JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the regionG3313 of 9CaesareaG2542 PhilippiG5376, He was askingG2065 His disciplesG3101, “WhoG5101 do peopleG444 sayG3004 that 10the SonG5207 of ManG444 is?” 14And they saidG3004, “SomeG3588G3303 say 11JohnG2491 the BaptistG910; and othersG243, 1213ElijahG2243; and still othersG2087, 14JeremiahG2408, orG2228 oneG1520 of the other prophetsG4396.” 15He saidG3004 to them, “But whoG5101 do you yourselvesG4771 sayG3004 that I amG1510?” 16SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611, “You are 15the 16ChristG5547, 17the SonG5207 of 18the livingG2198 GodG2316.” 17And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “BlessedG3107 are you, 19SimonG4613 20BarjonaG920, becauseG3754 21fleshG4561 and bloodG129 did not revealG601 this to you, but My FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in heavenG3772. 18And I alsoG2532 sayG3004 to you that you are 2223PeterG4074, and upon thisG3778 24rockG4073 I will buildG3618 My churchG1577; and the gatesG4439 of 25HadesG86 will not overpowerG2729 it. 19I will giveG1325 you 26the keysG2807 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772; and 27whateverG3739G1437 you 28bindG1210 on earthG1093 29shall have been boundG1210 in heavenG3772, and whateverG3739G1437 you 30looseG3089 on earthG1093 31shall have been loosedG3089 in heavenG3772.” 2032ThenG5119 He gaveG2008 the disciplesG3101 strictG2008 ordersG2008 that they were to tellG3004 noG3367 oneG3367 that He was 33the 34ChristG5547.

2135From thatG5119 timeG5119 36JesusG2424 beganG757 to 37pointG1166 outG1166 to His disciplesG3101 that it was necessaryG1163 for Him to goG565 to JerusalemG2414 and to 38sufferG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183 from the eldersG4245, chiefG749 priestsG749, and scribesG1122, and to be killedG615, and to be raisedG1453 upG1453 on the thirdG5154 dayG2250. 22And yet PeterG4074 tookG4355 Him asideG4355 and beganG757 to rebukeG2008 Him, sayingG3004, “39GodG2436 forbidG2436 it, LordG2962! ThisG3778 shall neverG3756G3361 40happenG1510 to You!” 23But He turnedG4762 and saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “GetG5217 behindG3694 Me, 41SatanG4567! You are a stumblingG4625 blockG4625 to Me; for you are not settingG5426 your mindG5426 onG5426 42God’sG2316 purposes, but men’sG444.”

24ThenG5119 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “IfG1487 anyoneG5100 wantsG2309 to comeG2064 afterG3694 Me, he must denyG533 himselfG1438, 43takeG142 upG142 his crossG4716, and followG190 Me. 25For 44whoeverG3739G1437 wantsG2309 to saveG4982 his 45lifeG5590 will loseG622 it; but whoeverG3739G302 losesG622 his 46lifeG5590 for My sakeG1752 will findG2147 it. 26For whatG5101 goodG5623 will it doG5623 a personG444 ifG1437 he gainsG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, but 47forfeitsG2210 his soulG5590? OrG2228 whatG5101 will a personG444 giveG1325 in exchangeG465 for his soulG5590? 27For the 48SonG5207 of ManG444 49isG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 comeG2064 in the gloryG1391 of His FatherG3962 with His angelsG32, and 50will thenG5119 repayG591 everyG1538 personG1538 accordingG2596 to his 51deedsG4234.

28“TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, there are someG5100 of thoseG3588 who are standingG2476 hereG5602 whoG3748 will not tasteG1089 deathG2288 untilG2193 they seeG3708 the 52SonG5207 of ManG444 53comingG2064 in His kingdomG932.”
