Chapter 16
Matthew
16:1 The Pharisees and also the Sadducees came, and, tempting, desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven.
16:2 He answered and said to them, When it is evening, you* say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O you* hypocrites, you* can discern the face of the sky; but can you* not discern the signs of the times?
16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
16:5 And when his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
16:6 Then YASHUWAH said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
16:7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
16:8 Which when YASHUWAH perceived, he said to them, O you* of little faith, why do you* reason among yourselves*, because you* have brought no bread?
16:9 Do you* not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you* took up?
16:10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you* took up?
16:11 How is it that you* do not understand that I did not speak to you* concerning bread, but that you* should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
16:12 Then they understood that he did not caution them against the leaven of bread, but against the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
16:13 When YASHUWAH came into the borders of Cesarea Phillippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?
16:14 And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
16:15 He says to them, But who do you* say that I am?
16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Anointed, the Son of the living Elohim.
16:17 And YASHUWAH answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon-Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
16:18 And I also say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my assembly: and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
16:19 And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
16:20 Then he charged his disciples that they should tell no man that he is YASHUWAH the Anointed.
16:21 From that time forth YASHUWAH began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Far be it from you, Master: this shall not be done to you.
16:23 But he turned, and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan; you are an offense to me: for you do not savor the things that are of Elohim, but those that are of men.
16:24 Then YASHUWAH said to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, take up his torture stake, and follow me.
16:25 For whoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
16:27 For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he will reward every man according to his works.
16:28 Truly I say to you*, There are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
