| 2He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; | 2He replied to them, "You say, 'Red sky at night, what a delight! |
| 3and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. | 3Red sky in the morning, cloudy and storming.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, yet you can't interpret the signs of the times? |
| 4A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed. | 4An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah."

| 5Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. | 5When his disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to take any bread along. |
| 6Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” | 6Jesus told them, "Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" |
| 7And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have taken no bread.” | 7As they began to discuss this among themselves, they kept saying, "We didn't bring along any bread." |
| 8But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread? | 8Knowing this, Jesus asked them, "You who have little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you don't have any bread? |
| 9Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up? | 9Don't you understand yet? Don't you remember the five loaves for the 5,000 and how many baskets you collected, |
| 10Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up? | 10or the seven loaves for the 4,000 and how many baskets you collected? |
| 11How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?—but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” | 11How can you fail to understand that I wasn't talking to you about bread? Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" |
| 12Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. | 12Then they understood that he did not say to beware of the yeast used in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. |
| 13When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” | 13When Jesus had come to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" |
| 14So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” | 14They said, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." |
| 15He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” | 15He asked them, "But who do you say I am?" |
| 16Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” | 16Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God!" |
| 17Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. | 17Then Jesus told him, "How blessed you are, Simon son of Jonah, since flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, though my Father in heaven has. |
| 18And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. | 18I tell you that you are Peter, and it is on this rock that I will build my congregation, and the powers of hell will not conquer it. |
| 19And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” | 19I will give you the keys to the kingdom from heaven. Whatever you prohibit on earth will have been prohibited in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will have been permitted in heaven." |
| 20Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ. | 20Then he strictly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. |
| 21From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. | 21From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he would have to go to Jerusalem and suffer a great deal because of the elders, the high priests, and the scribes.

| 22Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!” | 22Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, "God be merciful to you, Lord! This must never happen to you!" |
| 23But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” | 23But Jesus turned and told Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are an offense to me, because you are not thinking God's thoughts but human thoughts!" |
| 24Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. | 24Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously. |
| 25For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. | 25Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it, |
| 26For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? | 26because what profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life? |
| 27For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. | 27The Son of Man is going to come with his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay everyone according to what he has done. |
| 28Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” | 28I tell all of you with certainty, some people standing here will not experience death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." |
