1   The ^note Pharisees also, with the Saducees, came, and temptyng, desired hym that he woulde shewe them a signe from heauen.

2   He aunswered ∧ sayde vnto them: when it is ^note euenyng, ye say, [it wyll be] fayre weather: for the sky is redde.

3   And in the mornyng, It wyll be foule weather to day: for the sky is lowryng redde. O ye hypocrites, ye can discerne the outwarde appearaunce of the sky: but can ye not discerne the signes of the tymes?

4    ^noteThe froward and adulterous nation requireth ^note a signe: and there shall no signe be geuen vnto it, but the signe of the ^note prophete Ionas. And he left them, and departed. B   

5   And when his disciples were come to the other syde of the water, they had forgotten to take bread [with them].

6   Then Iesus sayde vnto them: ^note Take heede and beware of the leuen of the Pharisees, and of the Saducees.

7   And they thought in them selues, saying: for we haue taken no bread [with vs].

8   Which when Iesus vnderstoode, he sayde vnto them: O ye of little fayth, why thynke you within your selues, because ye haue brought no bread?

9   Do ye not yet perceaue, neither remember those fyue loaues, when there were ^note fyue thousande [men], and howe many baskets toke ye vp?

10    ^noteNeither the seuen loaues, when there were foure thousande [men], and howe many baskets toke ye vp?

11   Howe is it that ye do not vnderstande, that I spake it not vnto you concernyng bread, [warnyng you] that ye shoulde beware of the leuen of the Pharisees, and of the Saducees?

12   Then vnderstoode they, howe that he bad not them beware of the leuen of bread: but of the doctrine of the Pharisees, and of the Saducees. C   

13   &rhand; When Iesus came into the coastes of Cesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying: ^{note note} Whom do men say that I the sonne of man am?

14   They sayde: some say [that thou art] Iohn Baptist, some Helias, some Ieremias, or one of the prophetes.

15   He sayth vnto them: but whom say ye that I am?

16   Simon Peter aunswered and sayde: ^note Thou art Christe, the sonne of the lyuyng God.

17   And Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto

hym: happy art thou Simon Bar Iona, for flesh ∧ blood hath not opened [that] vnto thee, ^note but my father which is in heauen.

18   And I say also vnto thee, that thou art Peter, and vpon this ^note rocke I wyll buylde my congregation: And the gates ^note of hell shall not preuayle agaynst it.

19   And I wyll geue vnto thee, the keyes of the kingdome of heauen: And ^note whatsoeuer thou byndest in earth, shalbe bounde in heauen: and whatsoeuer thou loosest in earth, shalbe loosed in heauen. &lhand;

20   Then charged he his disciples, that they shoulde tell no man, that he was Iesus Christe.

21    ^noteFrom that tyme foorth, began Iesus to shewe vnto his disciples, howe that he must go vnto Hierusalem, and suffer many thynges of the elders, and hye priestes, ∧ scribes, and [must] be kylled, and be raysed agayne the thyrde day.

22   And when Peter had taken him aside, he began to rebuke hym, saying: Lorde, fauour thy selfe, this shall not be vnto thee.

23   But he turned hym about, and sayde vnto Peter: go after me Satan, thou art an offence vnto me: for thou sauerest not the thynges that be of God, but those that be of men. D   

24   Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: If any man wyll folowe me, let hym forsake him selfe, and take vp his crosse, and folowe me.

25    ^noteFor, who so wyll saue his lyfe, shall lose it: Agayne, who so doth lose his lyfe for my sake, shall fynde it.

26   For what doth it profite a man, yf he wynne all the whole worlde, and lose his owne soule? Or what shall a man geue for a raunsome of his soule?

27   For the sonne of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his Angels: and ^note then shall he rewarde euery man accordyng to his workes.

28   Ueryly I say vnto you, ^note there be some standyng here, which shall not taste of death, tyll they see the sonne of man come in his kyngdome.
