1 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 lowring. 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.
