Matthew 16

1The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, fair weather: for the sky is red. 3And in the morning, foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not the signs of the times? 4A 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. 5And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6Then Yahusha said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7And they reasoned among themselves, saying, because we have taken no bread. 8when Yahusha perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11How is it that ye do not understand that I spake not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12Then understood they how that he bade not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 13When Yahusha came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14And they said, Some John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15He says unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, you art the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim. 17And Yahusha answered and said unto him, Blessed art you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed unto you, but my Father which is in heaven. 18And I say also unto you, That you 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 unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Yahusha the Messiah. 21From that time forth began Yahusha 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. 22Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from you, Lord: this shall not be unto you. 23But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: you art an offence unto me: for you savourest not the things that be of Elohim, but those that be of men. 24Then said Yahusha unto his disciples, If any will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26For 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? 27For 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. 28Verily 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.
