Matthew 16:1-18 ▼

1 Then came the pharises and saduces and did tempte him desyringe him to shewe them some signe from heve.

2 He answered and sayde vnto the. At eve n ye saye we shall have fayre wedder and yt because ye skye is reed:

3 and in the morninge ye saye to daye shalbe foule wedder and that because the skye is cloudy and reed. O ye ypocrites ye can discerne ye fassion of the skye: and can ye not discerne ye signes of the tymes?

4 The frowarde nacion and advoutrous seketh a signe and there shall non other signe be geven vnto them but the signe of the prophet Ionas. So lefte he them and departed.

5 And when his disciples were come to the other side of the water they had forgotte to take breed with the.

6 Then Iesus sayd vnto them: Take hede and beware of the leve of ye Pharises and of ye Saduces.

8 When Iesus vnderstode that he sayd vnto the. O ye of lytell faith why are youre mindes cumbred because ye have brought no breed?

9 Do ye not yet perceave nether remeber those .v. loves when there were .v.M. men and how many baskettes toke ye vp?

10 Nether the .vii. loves when there were .iiiii.M. and how many baskettes toke ye vp?

11 Why perceave ye not then yt I spake not vnto you of breed whe I sayde beware of the leven of the Pharises and of the Saduces?

12 The vnderstode they how that he bad not them beware of the leven of breed: but of the doctrine of the Pharises and of the Saduces.

13 When Iesus cam in to the costes of the cite which is called Cesarea Philippi he axed his disciples sayinge: whom do men saye yt I the sonne of ma am?

14 They saide some saye yt thou arte Ihon Baptist some Helias some Ieremias or one of ye prophetes.

15 He sayde vnto the: but who saye ye yt I am?

16 Simo Peter answered and sayde: Thou arte Christ ye sonne of the lyvinge God.

17 And Iesus answered and sayde to him: happy arte thou Simon the sonne of Ionas for fleshe and bloud hath not opened vnto the yt but my father which is in heve.

18 And I saye also vnto the yt thou arte Peter: and apon this rocke I wyll bylde my congregacion. And the gates of hell shall not prevayle ageynst it.
