16 The Pharisees also with the
Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign
from heaven. 2 He answered and said unto them, When
it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in
the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering.
O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern
the signs of the times? 4 A 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. 5 And when his disciples were come to the
other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take
heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying,
It is because we have taken no bread. 8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto
them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among
yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9 Do ye
not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand,
and how many baskets ye took up? 10 Neither
the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11 How 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? 12 Then understood they how that he bade
them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees
and of the Sadducees. 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do
men say that I the Son of man am?
14
And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias;
and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But
whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto
him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh
and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And
I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build
my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And
I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever
thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou
shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that
they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. 21 From that time forth began Jesus to
shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer
many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed,
and be raised again the third day. 22 Then Peter took him, and began to
rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto
thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter,
Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence
unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that
be of men. 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For
whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his
life for my sake shall find it. 26 For
what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his
own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For
the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels;
and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28 Verily
I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of
death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
