Matthew 16

16The ^aPharisees also with the ^aaSadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. ²He answered and said unto them, ^bWhen it is evening, ye say, It will be ^cfair weather: for the sky is red. ³And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. ^dO ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? ^4eA wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

⁵And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. ⁶Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and ^fbeware of the ^gleaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. ⁷And they ^ggreasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. ⁸Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, ^hO ye of little faith, why ^ggreason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? ⁹Do ye not yet understand, neither remember ⁱthe five loaves of the five thousand, and how many ^kbaskets ye took up? ¹⁰Neither ^lthe seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many ^mbaskets ye took up? ¹¹How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? ¹²Then understood they how that he bade them not ^fbeware of the leaven of bread, but of the ^gdoctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

¹³ⁿWhen Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? ¹⁴And they said, Some say that thou art ^oJohn the Baptist: some, ^pElias; and others, ^qJeremias, or one of the prophets. ¹⁵He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? ¹⁶And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, ^rthe Son of ^sthe living God. ¹⁷And Jesus answered and said unto him, ^tBlessed art thou, ^uSimon Bar-jona: for ^xflesh and blood hath not ^yrevealed it unto thee, but ^zmy Father which is in heaven. ¹⁸And I say also unto thee, That thou art ^aPeter, and ^bupon this rock I will build my church; and ^cthe gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ¹⁹And I will give unto thee ^dthe keys of the kingdom of heaven: and ^ewhatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ^20fThen charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

²¹From that time forth began Jesus ^gto shew unto his disciples, how that ^hhe must go unto Jerusalem, and ^hisuffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and ^jbe raised again the third day. ²²Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, ^†Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. ²³But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, ^kSatan: thou art an ^loffence unto me: for thou ^msavourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. ²⁴Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and ⁿtake up his cross, and follow me. ²⁵For ^owhosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his ^plife for my sake shall find it. ²⁶For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own ^psoul? or ^qwhat shall a man give ^rin exchange for his ^psoul? ²⁷For ^sthe Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father ^twith his angels; and then ^uhe shall reward every man according to his works. ²⁸Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not ^xtaste of death, ^ytill they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
