[1]ThePharisees also and the Sadducees came, and, tempting, desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven.
[2]Heanswered and said to them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
[3]Andin 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]Awicked and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign; and there shall no sign been to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
[5]Andwhen his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
[6]ThenJesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
[7]Andthey reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
[8]Whichwhen Jesus perceived, he said to them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
[9]Doye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
[10]Neitherthe seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
[11]Howis it that ye do not understand that I spoke not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
[12]Thenthey understood that he did not caution them against the leaven of bread, but against the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
[13]WhenJesus came into the borders of Cesarea Phillippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?
[14]Andthey said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
[15]Hesaith to them, But who say ye that I am?
[16]AndSimon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
[17]AndJesus answered and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon-Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
[18]AndI say also to 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]AndI will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
[20]Thenhe charged his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
[21]Fromthat time forth 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 again the third day.
[22]ThenPeter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee.
[23]Buthe turned, and said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan; thou art an offense to me: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but those that are of men.
[24]Thensaid Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
[25]Forwhoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
[26]Forwhat 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]Forthe Son of man will come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he will reward every man according to his works.
[28]VerilyI say to you, There are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they shall see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
