1 Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up,
and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them
some sign from the heavens.
2 But Jesus answered:
[“In the evening you say ‘It will be fine weather, for the
sky is as red as fire.’
3 But in the morning you say ‘To-day it
will be stormy, for the sky is as red as fire and threatening.’
You learn to read the sky; yet you are unable to read the signs
of the times!] ⪆⪆
4 A wicked and unfaithful generation
is asking for a sign, but no sign shall be given it except
the sign of Jonah.”
So he left them and went away.

5 Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite
shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
6 Presently Jesus said to them:
“Take care and be on your guard against the
leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 But the disciples began talking among themselves about their
having brought no bread.
8 On noticing this, Jesus said:
“Why are you talking among yourselves about your being
short of bread, O men of little faith?
9 Do not you yet see, nor
remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many
baskets you took away?
10 Nor yet the seven loaves for the four
thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
11 How
is it that you do not see that I was not speaking about bread?
Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and
Sadducees.”
12 Then they understood that he had told them to be on their
guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against the teaching
of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
note
13 On coming into the neighbourhood of Caesarea
Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question—
“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
14 “Some say John the Baptist,” they answered,
“others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again
say Jeremiah, or one of the Prophets.”
15 “But you,” he said, “who do you say that I am?”
16 And to this Simon Peter answered: “You are the Christ,
the Son of the Living God.”
17 “Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah,” Jesus replied.
“For no human being has revealed this to you, but my
Father who is in Heaven.
18 Yes, and I say to you, Your
name is ‘Peter’—a Rock, and on this rock I will build my
Church, and the Powers of the Place of Death shall not prevail
over it. note
19 I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Whatever you forbid on earth will be held in Heaven to be
forbidden, and whatever you allow on earth will be held in
Heaven to be allowed.” note
20 Then he charged his disciples not to tell any one that he
was the Christ.
note
21 At that time Jesus Christ began to explain to
his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and
undergo much suffering at the hands of the Councillors,
and Chief Priests, and Teachers of the Law, and be
put to death, and rise on the third day. note
22 But Peter took Jesus
aside, and began to rebuke him.
-- --
“Master,” he said, “please God that shall never be your
fate!”
23 Jesus, however, turning to Peter, said:
“Out of my way, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for
you look at things, not as God does, but as man does.”
note
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples:
“If any man wishes to walk in my steps, let him
renounce self, and take up his cross, and follow
me.
25 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever,
for my sake, loses his life shall find it.
26 What good
will it do a man to gain the whole world, if he forfeits his life?
or what will a man give that is of equal value with his life?
27 For the Son of Man is to come in his Father's Glory, with his
angels, and then he ‘will give to every man what his actions
deserve.’ note
28 I tell you, some of those who are standing here will
not know death till they have seen the Son of Man coming
into his Kingdom.”
