2

He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’;

3

and in the morning, A storm to-day, for the sky is red [and] lowering; ye know [how] to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot the signs of the times.

3

and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ [a]Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees

Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the [c]leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

7

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread.

7

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have taken no bread.”

8

And Jesus knowing [it], said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread?

8

But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you [d]have brought no bread?

9

Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took [up]?

9

Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?

10

nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took [up]?

10

Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up?

11

How do ye not understand that [it was] not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

11

How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? — but to beware of the [e]leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

12

Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the [f]doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

He says to them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am?

15

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

Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

18

And *I* also, I say unto thee that *thou* art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it.

18

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not [g]prevail against it.

19

And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens.

19

And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth [h]will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

23

But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

23

But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are [j]an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

Take Up Your Cross

Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to each according to his doings.

27

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

28

Assuredly, 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.”
