Bible, King James Version
Matthew
Matt.16
[1] The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and
tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from
heaven.
[2] He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye
say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
[3] And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day:
for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern
the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the
times?
[4] A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a
sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of
the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
[5] And when his disciples were come to the other side,
they had forgotten to take bread.
[6] Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
[7] And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is
because we have taken no bread.
[8] Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of
little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have
brought no bread?
[9] Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five
loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
[10] Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and
how many baskets ye took up?
[11] How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it
not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven
of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
[12] Then understood they how that he bade them not beware
of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and
of the Sadducees.
[13] When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of
man am?
[14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the
Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the
prophets.
[15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
[16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the
Christ, the Son of the living God.
[17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art
thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it
unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
[18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and
upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.
[19] And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed
in heaven.
[20] Then charged he his disciples that they should tell
no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
[21] From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his
disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many
things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be
killed, and be raised again the third day.
[22] Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying,
Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
[23] But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind
me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not
the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
[24] Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will
come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and
follow me.
[25] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and
whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
[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?
[27] For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his
Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man
according to his works.
[28] Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here,
which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man
coming in his kingdom.
