1 And coming the Pharisees and Sadducees, tempting they asked him, a sign from the heaven to show to them.

2 He but answering said to them: Evening coming, you say: Fair weather; reddens for the heaven.

3 And in the morning; To–day a storm; is red for lowering the heaven. Hypocrites, the truly face of the heaven you know to judge, the but signs of the times not can you?

4 A generation evil and adulterous a sign seeks; and a sign not shall be given to her, except the sign of Jonas the prophet. And leaving them, he went away.

5 And coming the disciples of him to the other side, had forgotten loaves to take.

6 The and Jesus said to them: Look and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

7 They and reasoned among themselves saying: Because loaves not we have brought.

8 Knowing and the Jesus said: Why reason you among yourselves, O you weak of faith, because loaves not you have brought?

9 Not yet perceive you, nor remember you the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

10 Nor the seven loaves of the for thousand, and how many large baskets you took up?

11 Why not do you perceive, that not about bread I spoke to you to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

12 Then they understood, that not he did say beware of the leaven of the bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13 Coming and the Jesus into the parts of Caesarea of the Philip, asked the disciples of him, saying: Who me say the men to be, the son of the man?

14 They and said: Some, John the dipper; others and, Elias; other and, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15 He says to them: You but who me say to be?

16 Answering and Simon Peter said:Thou art the Anointed, the son of the God the living.

17 And answering the Jesus said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonas; for flesh and blood not it has revealed to thee, but the Father of me, that in the heavens.

18 Also I and to thee say, that thou art a rock, and upon this the rock I will build of me the church, and gates of hades not shall prevail against her.

19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth, shall be bound in the heavens; and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth, shall be loosed in the heavens.

20 Then he charged the disciples of him, that no one they should tell that he is the Anointed.

21 From that time began the Jesus to show to the disciples of him, that must he to go to Jerusalem, and many (things) to suffer from the elders and high–priests and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised.

22 And taking aside him the Peter, began to reprove him, saying: Be it far from thee, O lord; not not shall be to thee this.

23 He but turning said to the Peter: Go thou behind of me, adversary; a stumbling block of me thou art; for not thou regardest the (things) of the God, but those of the men.

24 Then the Jesus said to the disciples of him: If any one wish after me to come, let him deny himself, and let him bear the cross of him, and follow me.

25 Whoever for may wish the life of him to save, shall lose her; whoever and may lose the life of him on account of me, shall find her.

26 What for is profited a man if the world whole he may win, the and life of him he may forfeit? or what shall give a man in exchange for the life of him?

27 Is about for the the son of the man to come in the glory of the Father of him, with the messengers of him, and then he will render to each one according to the behavior of him.

28 Indeed I say to you, there are some of those here having stood, who not not shall taste of death, till they may see the son of the man coming in the royal majesty of him.

1 The Pharisees and Sadducees tested Jesus by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

2 He said to them, »At nightfall you say the weather will be good, for the sky is red.

3 »And in the morning, the weather will be bad today for the sky is red and angry. You are able to see the face of heaven, but not the signs of the time.

4 »An evil and false generation is searching after a sign. However, no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.« Then he left them.

5 The disciples came from the other side of the sea. They did not think to obtain bread.

6 Jesus said: »Take care to have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.«

7 They reasoned among themselves, saying: »We took no bread.«

8 Hearing this, Jesus said: »You of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves about not having bread?

9 »Do you still not see or remember the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

10 »Or the seven cakes of bread of the four thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

11 »Why do you not understand I was not talking about bread? Instead, about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?«

12 Then they realized it was not the leaven of bread he had in mind. It was the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13 Jesus traveled to parts of Caesarea Philippi. He asked his disciples: »Who do men say that the Son of man is?«

14 They said: »John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.«

15 »Who do you say that I am?«

16 Simon Peter answered: »You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!«

17 Jesus answered him: »Bless you, Simon son of John. This knowledge came from my Father in heaven and not from man.

18 »You are Peter Greek: petros: piece of rock, and on this rock-mass Greek: petra: mass of rockreferring to Jesus I will build my congregation. The entrance to the grave Greek: Hades will not have power to stop it.

19 »I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be what is improper and unlawful in heaven, and whatever you declare lawful on earth must be lawful in heaven.«

20 He gave orders to the disciples to tell no man he was the Christ.

21 From that time forward Jesus made it clear to his disciples how he would have to go to Jerusalem. He told them he would undergo much at the hands of the authorities, including the chief priests and scribes. He let them know he would be put to death. The third day he would come back from the dead.

22 Peter protested and rebuked Jesus. He said: »Do not think of that, Lord; it will never happen to you.«

23 He turned to Peter and said: »Get behind me, Satan. You are a stumbling block to me. You think the things of men, not of God.«

24 Then Jesus told his disciples: »If any man wants to follow me be mine, let him deny disown himself, and take up his stake and follow me Greek: akoloutheo moi, let him be following meaccompany mebe in the same way with me.

25 »He who wants to save his life will lose it. He who is willing to lose his life for my sake will find it.

26 »What will a man profit, if he gains the whole world, and gives up his life? What will a man give in exchange for his life?

27 »The Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels. He will then reward each man according to his deeds.

28 »I tell you truly, there are some that stand here who will not experience death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.«
