Matthew 16

1The PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532 and the SadduceesG4523 cameG4334, andG2532 temptingG3985 desiredG1905 himG846 that he would showG1925 themG846 a signG4592 fromG1537 heavenG3772. 2He answeredG611 and saidG2036 to themG846, When it isG1096 eveningG3798, ye sayG3004, It will be fair weatherG2105: forG1063 the skyG3772 is redG4449. 3AndG2532 in the morningG4404, It will be foul weatherG5494 to dayG4594: forG1063 the skyG3772 is redG4449 and threateningG4768. O ye hypocritesG5273, ye canG1097 discernG1252G3303 the faceG4383 of the skyG3772; butG1161 can yeG1410 notG3756 discern the signsG4592 of the timesG2540? 4A wickedG4190 andG2532 adulterousG3428 generationG1074 seeketh forG1934 a signG4592; andG2532 there shall noG3756 signG4592 be givenG1325 to itG846, butG1508 the signG4592 of the prophetG4396 JonahG2495. AndG2532 he leftG2641 themG846, and departedG565.

5AndG2532 when hisG846 disciplesG3101 had comeG2064 toG1519 the other sideG4008, they had forgottenG1950 to takeG2983 breadG740. 6ThenG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 to themG846, Take heedG3708 andG2532 bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523. 7AndG1161 they reasonedG1260 amongG1722 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, It is becauseG3754 we have takenG2983 noG3756 breadG740. 8Which whenG1161 JesusG2424 perceivedG1097, he saidG2036 to themG846, O ye of little faithG3640, whyG5101 reason yeG1260 amongG1722 yourselvesG1438, becauseG3754 ye have broughtG2983 noG3756 breadG740? 9Do yeG3539 not yetG3768 understandG3539, neitherG3761 rememberG3421 the fiveG4002 loavesG740 of the five thousandG4000, andG2532 how manyG4214 basketsG2894 ye took upG2983? 10NeitherG3761 the sevenG2033 loavesG740 of the four thousandG5070, andG2532 how manyG4214 basketsG4711 ye took upG2983? 11HowG4459 is it thatG3754 ye doG3539 notG3756 understandG3539 that I spokeG2036 notG3756 to youG5213 concerningG4012 breadG740, that ye should bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523? 12ThenG5119 they understoodG4920 thatG3754 he didG2036 notG3756 warnG2036 them againstG4337G575 the leavenG2219 of breadG740, butG235 againstG575 the doctrineG1322 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523.

13WhenG1161 JesusG2424 cameG2064 intoG1519 the regionG3313 of CaesareaG2542 PhilippiG5376, he askedG2065 hisG846 disciplesG3101, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 do menG444 sayG3004 that IG3165 the SonG5207 of manG444 amG1511? 14AndG1161 they saidG2036, Some say that thou art JohnG2491 the BaptistG910: someG243, ElijahG2243; andG1161 othersG2087, JeremiahG2408, orG2228 oneG1520 of the prophetsG4396. 15He saithG3004 to themG846, ButG1161 whoG5101 sayG3004 yeG5210 that IG3165 amG1511? 16AndG1161 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 and saidG2036, ThouG4771 artG1488 the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316. 17AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 to himG846, BlessedG3107 art thouG1488, SimonG4613 BarjonaG920: forG3754 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129 hathG601 notG3756 revealedG601 it to theeG4671, butG235 myG3450 FatherG3962 whoG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772. 18AndG1161 I sayG3004 alsoG2504 to theeG4671, ThatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 PeterG4074, andG2532 uponG1909 thisG5026 rockG4073 I will buildG3618 myG3450 churchG1577; andG2532 the gatesG4439 of hellG86 shallG2729 notG3756 prevail againstG2729 itG846.1 19AndG2532 I will giveG1325 to theeG4671 the keysG2807 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772: andG2532 whateverG3739G1437 thou shalt bindG1210 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 boundG1210 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 whateverG3739G1437 thou shalt looseG3089 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 loosedG3089 inG1722 heavenG3772. 20ThenG5119 he chargedG1291 hisG846 disciplesG3101 thatG2443 they should tellG2036 no manG3367 thatG3754 heG846 wasG2076 JesusG2424 the ChristG5547.

21FromG575 that time forthG5119 JesusG2424 beganG756 to showG1166 to hisG846 disciplesG3101, thatG3754 heG846 mustG1163 goG565 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 sufferG3958 many thingsG4183 fromG575 the eldersG4245 andG2532 chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122, andG2532 be killedG615, andG2532 be raised againG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250. 22ThenG2532 PeterG4074 tookG4355 himG846, and beganG756 to rebukeG2008 himG846, sayingG3004, Be it farG2436 from theeG4671, LordG2962: thisG5124 shallG2071 notG3364 beG2071 to theeG4671.2 23ButG1161 he turnedG4762, and saidG2036 to PeterG4074, Get theeG5217 behindG3694 meG3450, SatanG4567: thouG1488 artG3754 an offenceG4625 to meG3450: for thou savourestG5426 notG3756 the thingsG3588 that are of GodG2316, butG235 those that are of menG444.

24ThenG5119 saidG2036 JesusG2424 to hisG846 disciplesG3101, If anyG1536 man willG2309 comeG2064 afterG3694 meG3450, let him denyG533 himselfG1438, andG2532 take upG142 hisG846 crossG4716, andG2532 followG190 meG3427. 25ForG1063 whoeverG3739G302 willG2309 saveG4982 hisG846 lifeG5590 shall loseG622 itG846: andG1161 whoeverG3739G302 will loseG622 hisG846 lifeG5590 forG1752 myG1700 sakeG1752 shall findG2147 itG846. 26ForG1063 whatG5101 is a manG444 profitedG5623, ifG1437 he shall gainG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, andG1161 loseG2210 his ownG846 soulG5590? orG2228 whatG5101 shall a manG444 giveG1325 in exchangeG465 for hisG846 soulG5590? 27ForG1063 the SonG5207 of manG444 shallG3195 comeG2064 inG1722 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 FatherG3962 withG3326 hisG846 angelsG32; andG2532 thenG5119 he shall rewardG591 every manG1538 accordingG2596 to hisG846 worksG4234. 28VerilyG281 I sayG3004 to youG5213, There areG1526 someG5100 standingG2476 hereG5602, whoG3748 shallG1089 notG3364 tasteG1089 deathG2288, tillG302G2193 they shall seeG1492 the SonG5207 of manG444 comingG2064 inG1722 hisG846 kingdomG932.
