And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 but he answered them, in the evening you foretel fair weather: when the sky is of a bright red. He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’
3 and in the morning, a foul day: when the sky is of a dusky red, hypocrites, can ye judge of the appearance of the sky, and yet not discern the signs of these times? And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
4 a wicked degenerate race demand a miracle; but no miracle shall they have beside that of the prophet Jonas, and so leaving them, he went away. An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away.

6 and Jesus said to them, have a care of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees. Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 upon which they said to one another, this comes from our not taking any bread. And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.” They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”
8 which Jesus perceiving, he said, distrustful men, why do ye trouble your heads about forgetting the bread? But Jesus, aware of this, said, “O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread?
9 where's your understanding? don't you remember the five loaves among five thousand and how many baskets ye took away? Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
10 nor the seven loaves among the four thousand, and how many baskets ye carried away? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
11 why, can't you perceive, that in cautioning you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees, I did not speak of bread? How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12 then they perceived, he did not caution them against the leaven of bread, but against the Pharisaick and Sadducean doctrine. Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 As Jesus was going to the district of Cesarea-Philippi, he asked his disciples, what do people say of me? that I am a common man?

14 they replied, some think you are John the Baptist, some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 but what, said he, do you take me to be? He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter made answer, thou art Christ the son of the living God. Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
17 to whom Jesus reply'd, blessed art thou Simon, son of Jona: for 'tis not man that hath revealed this unto thee, but my father who is in heaven. And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.
18 and I tell thee likewise, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will hereafter build my church: and death shall not prevail against it.

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
19 and I will give you the keys of the gospel-kingdom: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.

21 from that time began Jesus to let his disciples know that he should go to Jerusalem, there suffer many indignities from the senators, chief priests, and scribes, be put to death, and be raised again the third day. From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
22 then Peter taking him aside, began to expostulate with him, saying, God forbid, Sir, this should ever happen to you.

This shall never happen to you.” Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
23 but he frown'd upon Peter, and said, out of my sight pernicious obstacle to my designs; your views are all worldly, regardless of what is divine. But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
24 Then addressing himself to his disciples, if any man, said he, would follow me, let him renounce himself, take up his cross, and so follow me. Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
25 for whosoever will save himself, shall be a looser: and whosoever shall suffer loss for my sake, shall be a gainer. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
26 what advantage is it to a man to gain the whole world at the price of his life? or what would not a man pay down to preserve his life? For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
27 for the son of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his angels; and then shall be make retribution to every man according to his works. For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
28 I declare unto you, some are here present, who shall not die, till they have seen the son of man enter into his kingdom. Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
