CHAPTER 16
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
