Dual Panel1Now when the Pharisees <5330> and <2532> Sadducees <4523> came <4334> to test <3985> Jesus, they asked <1905> him <846> to show <1925> them <846> a sign <4592> from <1537> heaven <3772>.
2He said <2036>, said <611>, “When evening <3798> comes <1096> you say <3004>, ‘It will be fair weather <2105>, because <1063> the sky <3772> is red <4449>,’
3and <2532> in the morning <4404>, ‘It will be stormy <5494> today <4594>, because <1063> the sky <3772> is red <4449> and darkening <4768>.’ You know <1097> how to judge correctly <1252> the appearance <4383> of the sky <3772>, but <1161> you <1410> cannot <3756> evaluate <1410> the signs <4592> of the times <2540>.
4A wicked <4190> and <2532> adulterous <3428> generation <1074> asks for <1934> a sign <4592>, but <2532> no <3756> sign <4592> will be given <1325> to it <846> except <1487> <3361> the sign <4592> of Jonah <2495>.” Then <2532> he left <2641> them <846> and went away <565>.
5When the disciples <3101> went <2064> to <1519> the other side <4008>, they forgot <1950> to take <2983> bread <740>.
6“Watch out <3708>,” Jesus <2424> said <2036> to them <846>, “beware <4337> of <575> the yeast <2219> of the Pharisees <5330> and <2532> Sadducees <4523>.”
7So <1161> they began to discuss <1260> this among <1722> themselves <1438>, saying <3004>, “It is because <3754> we brought <2983> no <3756> bread <740>.”
8When <1161> Jesus <2424> learned <1097> of this, he said <2036>, “You who have such little faith <3640>! Why <5101> are you arguing <1260> among <1722> yourselves <1438> about having <2192> no <3756> bread <740>?
9Do you still <3539> not <3768> understand <3539>? Don’t <3761> you remember <3421> the five <4002> loaves <740> for the five thousand <4000>, and <2532> how many <4214> baskets <2894> you took up <2983>?
10Or <3761> the seven <2033> loaves <740> for the four thousand <5070> and <2532> how many <4214> baskets <4711> you took up <2983>?
11How <4459> could you <3539> not <3756> understand <3539> that <3754> I was <2036> not <3756> speaking <2036> to you <5213> about <4012> bread <740>? But <1161> beware <4337> of <575> the yeast <2219> of the Pharisees <5330> and <2532> Sadducees <4523>!”
12Then <5119> they understood <4920> that <3754> he had <2036> not <3756> told <2036> them to be on guard <4337> against <575> the yeast <2219> in bread <740>, but <235> against <575> the teaching <1322> of the Pharisees <5330> and <2532> Sadducees <4523>.
13When <1161> Jesus <2424> came <2064> to <1519> the area <3313> of Caesarea <2542> Philippi <5376>, he asked <2065> his <846> disciples <3101>, “Who <5101> do <3004> people <444> say <3004> that the Son <5207> of Man <444> is <1510>?”
14They <1161> answered <3004>, “Some say John <2491> the Baptist <910>, others <243> Elijah <2243>, and <1161> others <2087> Jeremiah <2408> or <2228> one <1520> of the prophets <4396>.”
15He said <3004> to them <846>, “But <1161> who <5101> do you say <3004> that I <3165> am <1510>?”
16Simon <4613> Peter <4074> answered <611> <2036>, “You <4771> are <1510> the Christ <5547>, the Son <5207> of the living <2198> God <2316>.”
17And <1161> Jesus <2424> answered <611> <2036> him <846>, “You are <1510> blessed <3107>, Simon <4613> son of Jonah <920>, because <3754> flesh <4561> and <2532> blood <129> did <601> not <3756> reveal <601> this to you <4671>, but <235> my <3450> Father <3962> in <1722> heaven <3772>!
18And I <2504> tell <3004> you <4671> that <3754> you <4771> are <1510> Peter <4074>, and <2532> on <1909> this <3778> rock <4073> I will build <3618> my <3450> church <1577>, and <2532> the gates <4439> of Hades <86> will <2729> not <3756> overpower <2729> it <846>.
19I will give <1325> you <4671> the keys <2807> of the kingdom <932> of heaven <3772>. Whatever <1437> you bind <1210> on <1909> earth <1093> will have been <1510> bound <1210> in <1722> heaven <3772>, and <2532> whatever <1437> you release <3089> on <1909> earth <1093> will have been <1510> released <3089> in <1722> heaven <3772>.”
20Then <5119> he instructed <2008> his disciples <3101> not <3367> to tell <2036> anyone <3367> that <3754> he <846> was <1510> the Christ <5547>.
21From <575> that time <5119> on Jesus <2424> began <756> to show <1166> his <846> disciples <3101> that <3754> he must <1163> go <565> to <1519> Jerusalem <2414> and <2532> suffer <3958> many things <4183> at the hands of <575> the elders <4245>, chief priests <749>, and <2532> experts in the law <1122>, and <2532> be killed <615>, and <2532> on the third <5154> day <2250> be raised <1453>.
22So <2532> Peter <4074> took <4355> him <846> aside <4355> and began <756> to rebuke <2008> him <846>: “God forbid <2436>, Lord <2962>! This <5124> must <1510> not <3756> <3361> happen <1510> to you <4671>!”
23But <1161> he turned <4762> and said <2036> to Peter <4074>, “Get <5217> behind <3694> me <3450>, Satan <4567>! You are <1510> a stumbling block <4625> to me <1700>, because <3754> you are <5426> not <3756> setting <5426> your mind <5426> on God’s interests <2316>, but <235> on man’s <444>.”
24Then <5119> Jesus <2424> said <2036> to his <846> disciples <3101>, “If <1487> anyone <5100> wants <2309> to become <2064> my <3450> follower <3694>, he must deny <533> himself <1438>, take up <142> his <846> cross <4716>, and <2532> follow <190> me <3427>.
25For <1063> whoever <1437> wants <2309> to save <4982> his <846> life <5590> will lose <622> it <846>, but <1161> whoever <302> loses <622> his <846> life <5590> for <1752> my <1700> sake <1752> will find <2147> it <846>.
26For <1063> what <5101> does it benefit <5623> a person <444> if <1437> he gains <2770> the whole <3650> world <2889> but <1161> forfeits <2210> his <846> life <5590>? Or <2228> what <5101> can a person <444> give <1325> in exchange <465> for his <846> life <5590>?
27For <1063> the Son <5207> of Man <444> will <3195> come <2064> with <3326> his <846> angels <32> in <1722> the glory <1391> of his <846> Father <3962>, and <2532> then <5119> he will reward <591> each person <1538> according to <2596> what he <846> has done <4234>.
28I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, there are <1510> some <5100> standing <2476> here <5602> who <3748> will <1089> not <3756> <3361> experience <1089> death <2288> before <2193> they see <1492> the Son <5207> of Man <444> coming <2064> in <1722> his <846> kingdom <932>.”
