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

1

The Pharisees and Sadducees Seek a Sign

Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.

2

He answered them,a “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’

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, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret 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.

4

An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.

4

A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of [b]the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.

When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees

Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

6

Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

6

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

7

And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”

7

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

8

But Jesus, aware of this, said, “O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have 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 you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

9

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

10

Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

10

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

11

How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? 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 understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

12

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.

16

Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

16

Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

17

And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

17

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 tell you, you are Peter, and on this rockb I will build my church, and the gates of hellc 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

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosedd in heaven.”

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.”

22

Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, [i]“Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!”

23

But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrancef to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”

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.”

24

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

24

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 whoever would save his lifeg will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

25

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

26

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

26

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

27

For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.

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.

28

Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see 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.”
