Matthew 16

1And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadduccees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.

2But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.

3And in the morning: Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?

4A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away.

5And when his disciples were come over the water, they had forgotten to take bread.

6Who said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

7But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread.

8And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread?

9Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

10Nor the seven loaves among four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

11Why do you not understand that it was not concerning the bread I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

12Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is?

14But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?

16Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.

17And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

18And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

20Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.

21From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the ancients and scribes and chief priests, and be put to death, and the third day rise again.

22And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him, saying: Lord, be it far from thee, this shall not be unto thee.

23Who turning, said to Peter: Go behind me, Satan, thou art a scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.

24Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

26For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

27For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works.

28Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

1Et accesserunt ad eum pharisæi et sadducæi tentantes: et rogaverunt eum ut signum de cælo ostenderet eis.

2At ille respondens, ait illis: Facto vespere dicitis: Serenum erit, rubicundum est enim cælum.

3Et mane: Hodie tempestas, rutilat enim triste cælum.

4Faciem ergo cæli dijudicare nostis: signa autem temporum non potestis scire? Generatio mala et adultera signum quærit: et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Jonæ prophetæ. Et relictis illis, abiit.

5Et cum venissent discipuli ejus trans fretum, obliti sunt panes accipere.

6Qui dixit illis: Intuemini, et cavete a fermento pharisæorum et sadducæorum.

7At illi cogitabant intra se dicentes: Quia panes non accepimus.

8Sciens autem Jesus, dixit: Quid cogitatis intra vos modicæ fidei, quia panes non habetis?

9Nondum intelligitis, neque recordamini quinque panum in quinque millia hominum, et quot cophinos sumpsistis?

10neque septem panum in quatuor millia hominum, et quot sportas sumpsistis?

11Quare non intelligitis, quia non de pane dixi vobis: Cavete a fermento pharisæorum et sadducæorum?

12Tunc intellexerunt quia non dixerit cavendum a fermento panum, sed a doctrina pharisæorum et sadducæorum.

13Venit autem Jesus in partes Cæsareæ Philippi: et interrogabat discipulos suos, dicens: Quem dicunt homines esse Filium hominis?

14At illi dixerunt: Alii Joannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero Jeremiam, aut unum ex prophetis.

15Dicit illis Jesus: Vos autem, quem me esse dicitis?

16Respondens Simon Petrus dixit: Tu es Christus, Filius Dei vivi.

17Respondens autem Jesus, dixit ei: Beatus es Simon Bar Jona: quia caro et sanguis non revelavit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cælis est.

18Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificabo Ecclesiam meam, et portæ inferi non prævalebunt adversus eam.

19Et tibi dabo claves regni cælorum. Et quodcumque ligaveris super terram, erit ligatum et in cælis: et quodcumque solveris super terram, erit solutum et in cælis.

20Tunc præcepit discipulis suis ut nemini dicerent quia ipse esset Jesus Christus.

21Exinde cœpit Jesus ostendere discipulis suis, quia oporteret eum ire Jerosolymam, et multa pati a senioribus, et scribis, et principibus sacerdotum, et occidi, et tertia die resurgere.

22Et assumens eum Petrus, cœpit increpare illum dicens: Absit a te, Domine: non erit tibi hoc.

23Qui conversus, dixit Petro: Vade post me Satana, scandalum es mihi: quia non sapis ea quæ Dei sunt, sed ea quæ hominum.

24Tunc Jesus dixit discipulis suis: Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam, et sequatur me.

25Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet eam: qui autem perdiderit animam suam propter me, inveniet eam.

26Quid enim prodest homini, si mundum universum lucretur, animæ vero suæ detrimentum patiatur? aut quam dabit homo commutationem pro anima sua?

27Filius enim hominis venturus est in gloria Patris sui cum angelis suis: et tunc reddet unicuique secundum opera ejus.

28Amen dico vobis, sunt quidam de hic stantibus, qui non gustabunt mortem, donec videant Filium hominis venientem in regno suo.

1And Pharisees and Sadducees approached him to test him, and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

2But he responded by saying to them: “When evening arrives, you say, ‘It will be calm, for the sky is red,’

3and in the morning, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.’ So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know the signs of the times?

4An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind, he went away.

5And when his disciples went across the sea, they forgot to bring bread.

6And he said to them, “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

7But they were thinking within themselves, saying, “It is because we have not brought bread.”

8Then Jesus, knowing this, said: “Why do you consider within yourselves, O little in faith, that it is because you have no bread?

9Do you not yet understand, nor remember, the five loaves among the five thousand men, and how many containers you took up?

10Or the seven loaves among the four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

11Why do you not understand that it was not because of bread that I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees?”

12Then they understood that he was not saying that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

13Then Jesus went into parts of Caesarea Philippi. And he questioned his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that the Son of man is?”

14And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, still others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15Jesus said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

16Simon Peter responded by saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

17And in response, Jesus said to him: “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven.

18And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

19And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound, even in heaven. And whatever you shall release on earth shall be released, even in heaven.”

20Then he instructed his disciples that they should tell no one that he is Jesus the Christ.

21From that time, Jesus began to reveal to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the elders and the scribes and the leaders of the priests, and to be killed, and to rise again on the third day.

22And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, “Lord, may it be far from you; this shall not happen to you.”

23And turning away, Jesus said to Peter: “Get behind me, Satan; you are an obstacle to me. For you are not behaving according to what is of God, but according to what is of men.”

24Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If anyone is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25For whoever would save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life for my sake, shall find it.

26For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, yet truly suffers damage to his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

27For the Son of man will arrive in the glory of his Father, with his Angels. And then he will repay each one according to his works.

28Amen I say to you, there are some among those standing here, who shall not taste death, until they see the Son of man arriving in his reign.”
