1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 But he answered them, "When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 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! 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. 5 The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread. 6 Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

7 They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."

8 Jesus, perceiving it, said, "Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you have brought no bread? 9 Don’t you yet perceive or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up, 10 or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up? 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."

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.

13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"

14 They said, "Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

15 He said to them, "But 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, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 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." 20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.

21 From that time, Jesus 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.

22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you."

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."

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. 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? 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. 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."

1 Na ka haere mai nga Parihi me nga Haruki, ka whakamatautau ka tono kia whakakitea e ia ki a ratou tetahi tohu i te rangi.

2 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ka ahiahi, ka mea koutou, He paki; ina he whero te rangi.

3 A i te ata, He awha aianei; he whero nei te rangi, e tukupu ana. E te hunga tinihanga, e matau ana koutou ki te titiro ki te mata o te rangi; te taea e koutou nga tohu o nga taima.

4 E rapu tohu ana te whakatupuranga kino, puremu; a heoi ano tohu e hoatu ki a ratou ko te tohu o Hona poropiti. Na whakarerea ana ratou e ia, a haere ana.

5 A ka u nga akonga ki tera taha, kua wareware ki te mau taro atu.

6 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Kia mahara kia tupato i te rewena a nga Parihi, a nga Haruki.

7 A ka korerorero ratou ki a ratou ano, ka mea, No te mea kahore tatou i mau taro mai.

8 A ka mohio a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka korerorero ai ki a koutou, e te hunga whakapono iti, no te mea kihai i maua mai he taro e koutou?

9 Kiano koutou i matau noa, kiano koutou i mahara ki nga taro e rima a nga mano e rima, ki te maha hoki o nga kete i riro i a koutou?

10 Ki nga taro hoki e whitu a nga mano e wha, ki te maha ano o nga kete i riro i a koutou?

11 He aha koutou te matau ai, ehara i te mea mo te taro taku i mea ai ki a koutou, kia tupato i te rewena a nga Parihi, a nga Haruki?

12 Katahi ratou ka matau kihai ia i mea kia tupato i te rewena o te taro, engari i te ako a nga Parihi, a nga Haruki.

13 Ka tae a Ihu ki nga wahi o Hiharia Piripai, ka ui ia ki ana akonga, ka mea, Ko wai ra ahau, te Tama a te tangata, ki ta nga tangata ki?

14 Na ka mea ratou, Ki ta etahi ko Hoani Kaiiriiri; ki ta etahi ko Iraia; ki ta etahi ko Heremaia, ko tetahi ranei o nga poropiti.

15 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, A ki ta koutou ko wai ahau?

16 Na ka whakahoki a Haimona Pita, ka mea, Ko te Karaiti koe, ko te Tama a te Atua ora.

17 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Ka koa koe, e Haimona Parahona: ehara hoki i te kikokiko, i te toto, nana tenei i whakakite ki a koe, engari na toku Matua i te rangi.

18 Na ko taku kupu ano tenei ki a koe, Ko Pita koe, a ka hanga e ahau taku hahi ki runga ki tenei kamaka; e kore ano e taea taua hahi e nga kuwaha o te reinga.

19 Ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe nga ki o te rangatiratanga o te rangi: a ko au e here ai i te whenua e herea ano i te rangi; ko au hoki e wewete ai i te whenua e wetekia ano i te rangi.

20 Me i reira ka whakatupato ia i ana akonga, kia kaua e korerotia e ratou ki te tangata ko te Karaiti ia.

21 No reira mai ano i timata ai a Ihu te whakaatu ki ana akonga, kua takoto te tikanga kia haere ia ki Hiruharama, a he maha nga mamae e mamae ai ia i nga kaumatua, i nga tohunga nui, i nga karaipi, a ka whakamatea ia, a hei te toru o nga ra ka ara.

22 Na ka mau a Pita ki a ia, ka anga ka whakahe ki tana, ka mea, Aue! kauaka, e te Ariki! kauaka ra tenei e pa ki a koe.

23 Na ka tahuri ia, ka mea ki a Pita, Haere ki muri i ahau, e Hatana: he tutukitanga waewae koe ki ahau: kahore hoki ou ngakau ki nga mea a te Atua, engari ki a te tangata.

24 Katahi a Ihu ka mea ki ana akonga, Ki te mea tetahi kia haere mai ki te whai i ahau, me whakakahore ia e ia ano, me amo tona ripeka, ka aru ai i ahau.

25 Ki te whai hoki tetahi kia ora, ka mate ano ia; ki te mate tetahi, mona i whakaaro ki ahau, ka kite ano ia i te ora.

26 He aha hoki te pai ki te tangata, ki te riro i a ia te ao katoa, a ka kore he ora mona? He aha hoki ta te tangata e hoatu ai hei utu mona kia ora?

27 Tenei ake hoki ka haere mai te Tama a te tangata, ratou ko ana anahera, i runga i te kororia o tona Matua; a ko reira hoatu ai e ia ki tenei, ki tenei, te utu o tana mahi.

28 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Tenei ano etahi e tu nei e kore e pangia e te mate, kia kite ra ano i te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i tona rangatiratanga.
