Matthew 16

1The PhariseesG3588G5330 alsoG2532 withG2532 the SadduceesG4523 cameG4334, and temptingG3985 desiredG1905 himG846 that he would shewG1925 themG846 a signG4592 fromG1537 heavenG3588G3772. 2He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG3004 unto themG846, When it isG1096 eveningG3798, ye sayG3004, It will be fair weatherG2105: forG1063 the skyG3588G3772 is redG4449. 3AndG2532 in the morningG4404, It will be foul weatherG5494 to dayG4594: forG1063 the skyG3588G3772 is redG4449 and lowringG4768. O ye hypocritesG5273, ye canG1097 discernG1252 the faceG4383 of the skyG3588G3772; butG1161 can yeG1410 notG3756 discern the signsG4592 of the timesG3588G2540? 4A wickedG4190 andG2532 adulterousG3428 generationG1074 seeketh afterG1934 a signG4592; andG2532 there shallG1325 noG3756 signG4592 be givenG1325 unto itG846, butG3361 the signG3588G4592 of the prophetG3588G4396 JonahG2495. AndG2532 he leftG2641 themG846, and departedG565. 5AndG2532 whenG2064 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 were comeG2064 toG1519 the other sideG4008, they had forgottenG1950 to takeG2983 breadG740. 6

ThenG1161 JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto themG846, Take heedG3708 andG2532 bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG3588G2219 of the PhariseesG3588G5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523. 7AndG1161 they reasonedG1260 amongG1722 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, It is becauseG3754 we have takenG2983 noG3756 breadG740. 8Which whenG1161 JesusG3588G2424 perceivedG1097, he saidG3004 unto themG846, O ye of little faithG3640, whyG5101 reason yeG1260 amongG1722 yourselvesG1438, becauseG3754 ye have broughtG2983 noG3756 breadG740? 9Do yeG3539 not yetG3768 understandG3539, neitherG3761 rememberG3421 theG740 fiveG4002 loavesG740 of the five thousandG4000, andG2532 how manyG4214 basketsG2894 ye took upG2983? 10NeitherG3761 theG740 sevenG2033 loavesG740 of the four thousandG5070, andG2532 how manyG4214 basketsG4711 ye took upG2983? 11How is it thatG4459 ye doG3539 notG3756 understandG3539 thatG3754 I spakeG3004 it notG3756 to youG4771 concerningG4012 breadG740, that ye should bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG3588G2219 of the PhariseesG3588G5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523? 12ThenG5119 understood theyG4920 how thatG3754 he badeG3004 them notG3756 bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG3588G2219 of breadG3588G740, butG235 ofG575 the doctrineG3588G1322 of the PhariseesG3588G5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523. 13

WhenG1161 JesusG3588G2424 cameG2064 intoG1519 the coastsG3588G3313 of CaesareaG2542 PhilippiG5376, he askedG2065 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, sayingG3004, WhomG5101 doG3004 menG3588G444 say thatG3004 IG1473 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 amG1510? 14AndG1161 they saidG3004, SomeG3303 say that thou art JohnG2491 the BaptistG3588G910: someG243, ElijahG2243; andG1161 othersG2087, JeremiahG2408, orG2228 oneG1520 of the prophetsG3588G4396. 15He saithG3004 unto themG846, ButG1161 whomG5101 sayG3004 yeG4771 thatG3004 IG1473 amG1510? 16AndG1161 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 and saidG3004, ThouG4771 artG1510 the ChristG3588G5547, the SonG3588G5207 of theG3588G2316 livingG2198 GodG3588G2316. 17AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto himG846, BlessedG3107 art thouG1510, SimonG4613 Bar–jonaG920G2495: forG3754 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129 hathG601 notG3756 revealedG601 it unto theeG4771, butG235 myG1473 FatherG3588G3962 which isG3588 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772. 18AndG1161 IG2504 sayG3004 alsoG2504 unto theeG4771, ThatG3754 thouG4771 artG1510 PeterG4074, andG2532 uponG1909 thisG3778 rockG3588G4073 I will buildG3618 myG1473 AssemblyG3588G1577; andG2532 the gatesG4439 of hellG86 shallG2729 notG3756 prevail againstG2729 itG846. 19AndG2532 I will giveG1325 unto theeG4771 the keysG3588G2807 of the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772: andG2532 whatsoeverG1437 thou shalt bindG1210 onG1909 earthG3588G1093 shall be that which isG1510 boundG1210 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772: andG2532 whatsoeverG1437 thou shalt looseG3089 onG1909 earthG3588G1093 shall be that which isG1510 loosedG3089 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772. 20ThenG5119 charged heG1291 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 thatG2443 they should tellG3004 no manG3367 thatG3754 heG846 wasG1510 JesusG2424 the ChristG3588G5547. 21

FromG575 that timeG5119 forthG575 beganG756 JesusG3588G2424 to shewG1166 unto hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, how thatG3754 heG846 mustG1163 goG565 untoG1519 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 sufferG3958 many thingsG4183 ofG575 the eldersG4245 andG2532 chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122, andG2532 be killedG615, andG2532 be raised againG1453 theG2250 thirdG5154 dayG2250. 22ThenG2532 PeterG3588G4074 tookG4355 himG846, and began toG756 rebukeG2008 himG846, sayingG3004, Be it farG2436 from theeG4771, LordG2962: thisG3778 shallG1510 notG3756 beG1510 unto theeG4771. 23ButG1161 he turnedG4762, and saidG3004 unto PeterG3588G4074, Get theeG5217 behindG3694 meG1473, SatanG4567: thou artG1510 an offenceG4625 unto meG1473: forG3754 thou savourestG5426 notG3756 the things that beG3588 of GodG3588G2316, butG235 those that beG3588 of menG3588G444.

24ThenG5119 saidG3004 JesusG3588G2424 untoG3588G3101 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, IfG1487 anyG5100 man willG2309 comeG2064 afterG3694 meG1473, let him denyG533 himselfG1438, andG2532 take upG142 hisG846 crossG3588G4716, andG2532 followG190 meG1473. 25ForG1063 whosoeverG3739 willG2309 saveG4982 hisG846 lifeG3588G5590 shall loseG622 itG846: andG1161 whosoeverG3739 will loseG622 hisG846 lifeG3588G5590 forG1752 myG1473 sakeG1752 shall findG2147 itG846. 26ForG1063 whatG5101 isG5623 a manG444 profitedG5623, ifG1437 he shall gainG2770 theG3588G2889 wholeG3650 worldG3588G2889, andG1161 loseG2210 his ownG846 soulG5590? orG2228 whatG5101 shallG1325 a manG444 giveG1325 in exchangeG465 forG3588G5590 hisG846 soulG3588G5590? 27ForG1063 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 shallG3195 comeG2064 inG1722 the gloryG3588G1391 ofG3588G3962 hisG846 FatherG3588G3962 withG3326 hisG846 angelsG3588G32; andG2532 thenG5119 he shall rewardG591 every manG1538 according toG2596 hisG846 worksG3588G4234. 28VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, There beG1510 someG5100 standingG2476 hereG5602, whichG3748 shallG1089 notG3756 tasteG1089 of deathG2288, tillG2193 they seeG3708 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 comingG2064 inG1722 hisG846 kingdomG3588G932.
