| 1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying him asked him to
show them a sign from heaven. 2 But he answered and said unto them, When
it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the heaven is
red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day: for the
heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven;
but ye cannot discern the signs of the times. 4 An evil and
adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given
unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
5 And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread.
6 And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We
took no bread. 8 And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why
reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread? 9 Do ye not yet
perceive, 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 perceive that I
spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees
and Sadducees. 12 Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the
leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? 14 And they
said, Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah,
or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But who 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 Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my
Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not
prevail against it. 19 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 the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the
Christ.
21 From that time began Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go
unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and
scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. 22 And Peter took
him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall
never be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind
me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the
things of God, but the things of men. 24 Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up
his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever would save his life shall lose
it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For
what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit
his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life? 27 For the
Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then
shall he render unto every man according to his deeds. 28 Verily I say
unto you, there are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste
of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
