The
Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and
tempting desired him that he would shew them a
sign from heaven.
02 He answered and said unto them, When it
is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for
the sky is red.
03 And in the morning, It
will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red
and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the
face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs
of the times?
04 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.
05 And when his disciples were come to the other
side, they had forgotten to take bread.
06 Then Jesus said unto them, Take
heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees
and of the Sadducees.
07 And they reasoned among
themselves, saying, It is because we have taken
no bread.
08 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of
little faith, why reason ye among yourselves,
because ye have brought no bread?
09 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 man shall
come in the glory of his Father with his angels;
and then he shall reward every man according to
his works.
28 Verily 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.
