The Good News According to Matthew, Chapter 16
{16:1} The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him
to show them a sign from heaven. {16:2} But he answered them, "When it
is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
{16:3} In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is
red and threatening.' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the
appearance of the sky, but you can't discern the signs of the times!
{16:4} An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there
will be no sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah."
He left them, and departed. {16:5} The disciples came to the other
side and had forgotten to take bread. {16:6} Yeshua said to them,
"Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
{16:7} They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
{16:8} Yeshua, perceiving it, said, "Why do you reason among
yourselves, you of little faith, 'because you have brought no bread?'
{16:9} Don't you yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves for
the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up? {16:10} Nor the
seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
{16:11} How is it that you don't perceive that I didn't speak to you
concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and
Sadducees."
{16:12} Then they understood that he didn't tell them to beware of
the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and
Sadducees. {16:13} Now when Yeshua came into the parts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the
Son of Man, am?"
{16:14} They said, "Some say Yochanan the Immerser, some, Elijah,
and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
{16:15} He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
{16:16} Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the
living God."
{16:17} Yeshua answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for
flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in
heaven. {16:18} I also tell you that you are [1>]Peter,[<1] and on
this [2>]rock[<2] I will build my assembly, and the gates of
[3>]Sheol[<3] will not prevail against it. {16:19} I will give to you
the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will
have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have
been released in heaven." {16:20} Then he commanded the disciples that
they should tell no one that he was Yeshua the Messiah. {16:21} From
that time, Yeshua began to show his disciples that he must go to
Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and
scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
{16:22} Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far
be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you."
{16:23} But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You
are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the
things of God, but on the things of men." {16:24} Then Yeshua said to
his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. {16:25} For whoever
desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life
for my sake will find it. {16:26} For what will it profit a man, if he
gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give
in exchange for his life? {16:27} For the Son of Man will come in the
glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to
everyone according to his deeds. {16:28} Most certainly I tell you,
there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until
they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."
