Matthew 16:1-14 ▼

1 The Pharisees also, with the Saducees, came, and temptyng, desired hym that he woulde shewe them a signe from heauen.

2 He aunswered & sayde vnto them: when it is euenyng, ye say, it wyll be fayre weather: for the sky is redde.

3 And in the mornyng, It wyll be foule weather to day: for the sky is lowryng redde. O ye hypocrites, ye can discerne the outwarde appearaunce of the sky: but can ye not discerne the signes of the tymes?

4 The froward and adulterous nation requireth a signe: and there shall no signe be geuen vnto it, but the signe of the prophete Ionas. And he left them, and departed.

5 And when his disciples were come to the other syde of the water, they had forgotten to take bread with them .

6 Then Iesus sayde vnto them: Take heede and beware of the leuen of the Pharisees, and of the Saducees.

7 And they thought in them selues, saying: for we haue taken no bread with vs .

8 Which when Iesus vnderstoode, he sayde vnto them: O ye of little fayth, why thynke you within your selues, because ye haue brought no bread?

9 Do ye not yet perceaue, neither remember those fyue loaues, when there were fyue thousande men , and howe many baskets toke ye vp?

10 Neither the seuen loaues, when there were foure thousande men , and howe many baskets toke ye vp?

11 Howe is it that ye do not vnderstande, that I spake it not vnto you concernyng bread, warnyng you that ye shoulde beware of the leuen of the Pharisees, and of the Saducees?

12 Then vnderstoode they, howe that he bad not them beware of the leuen of bread: but of the doctrine of the Pharisees, and of the Saducees.

13 When Iesus came into the coastes of Cesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that I the sonne of man am?

14 They sayde: some say that thou art Iohn Baptist, some Helias, some Ieremias, or one of the prophetes.
