Matthew 16 And the Pharisees and the Sadducees having come thither with a view to try him, desired that he would show them a sign from heaven.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the Pharisees and the Sadducees having come thither with a view to try him, desired that he would show them a sign from heaven. ² Whereupon he in reply said to them, When it is evening you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red: ³ and in the morning, there will be a storm today, for the sky is red and lowering. Hypocrites! you know how to distinguish the appearance of the sky, and can you not discern the signs of the times? ⁴ An evil and adulterous generation demand a sign, but no sign shall be given them, save that of the prophet Jonas. So leaving them he departed. ⁵ Now his disciples, going to the other side, had forgotten to bring with them loaves of bread. ⁶ And Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. ⁷ Whereupon they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have not brought loaves with us. ⁸ And Jesus knowing this, said to them, Why do ye reason among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because you have not brought loaves? ⁹ Have you yet no reflection? Or do ye not remember the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many panniers you carried off; ¹⁰ nor the seven loaves among the four thousand, and how many baskets you carried off? ¹¹ How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you of bread, when I cautioned you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees? ¹² Then they understood that he did not caution them against the leaven of the bread, but against the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. ¹³ When Jesus was going to Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I, the son of man, am? ¹⁴ And they said, Some say, John the Baptist; and some, Elias; and some Jeremias, or one of the prophets. ¹⁵ He saith to them, And who do ye say that I am? ¹⁶ Upon this Peter, in reply, said, Thou art The Christ, the son of the living God. ¹⁷ And Jesus answering, said to him, Happy art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed this to thee, but my father who is in heaven. ¹⁸ Now I say to thee, Thou art named Peter, [a rock,] and upon this very rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. ¹⁹ And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou shall bind on the earth, will be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on the earth, will be loosed in the heavens. ²⁰ Then he charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he, Jesus, is the Christ. ²¹ From that time Jesus began to point out to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and raised again on the third day. ²² Upon which Peter, taking him aside, began to check him, saying, Mercy on thee, O my Lord! This cannot befal thee. ²³ But he, turning, said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan. Thou art an obstacle in my way. For thou hast not thy mind bent on the things of God; but on the things of those men. ²⁴ Then Jesus said to his disciples if any one wisheth to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ²⁵ For whoever wisheth to save his life shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it. ²⁶ For what will a man be profited, if he should gain the whole world, and be punished with the forfeit of his life? Or, what will not a man give as a ransom for his life? ²⁷ For the son of man will come in the glory of his father, with his angels, and will then render to every one according to his actions. ²⁸ Verily I say to you, there are some of them standing here who shall not taste death until they see the son of man coming in his kingdom.
