Matthew 16

Religious Leaders Demand Signs
1Now the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Yeshua, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.
2But He replied to them, “When evening comes, you say, ‘Fair weather coming, for the sky is red,’
3and in the morning, ‘Stormy weather today, for the sky is red and gloomy.’ You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times!
4An evil and adulterous generation clamors for a sign, yet no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” And leaving them behind, He went away.
5Now when the disciples came to the other side of the sea, they had forgotten to take bread.
6“Watch out,” Yeshua said to them, “and beware of the hametz of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7And they began to discuss among themselves, saying, “We didn’t bring any bread.”
8But knowing this, Yeshua said, “O you of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread?
9You still don’t get it? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets of leftovers you gathered?
10Or how about the seven loaves for the four thousand and all the baskets of leftovers you gathered?
11How is it that you don’t understand that I wasn’t talking to you about bread? Now beware of the hametz of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”
12Then they understood that He wasn’t talking about the hametz in the bread, but about the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
The Father Reveals His Son
13When Yeshua came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
14They answered, “Some say John the Immerser, others say Elijah, and still others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”
15He said, “But who do you say I am?”
16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
17Yeshua said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven!
18And I also tell you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My community; and the gates of Sheol will not overpower it.
19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will have been forbidden in heaven and what you permit on earth will have been permitted in heaven.”
20Then He ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Messiah.
First Prediction: Death & Resurrection
21From that time on, Yeshua began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and ruling kohanim and Torah scholars, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.
22Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Never, Master! This must never happen to You!”
23But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, satan! You are a stumbling block to Me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but the things of men.”
24Then Yeshua said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.
25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
26For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
27For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then ‘He will repay everyone according to his deeds.’
28Amen, I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

Mattithyahu (Matthew) 16
16
1And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.
2And He answering, said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘Fair weather, for the heaven is red,’
3and in the morning, ‘Stormy weather today, for the heaven is red and overcast.’ You know how to discern the face of the heaven, but you are unable to discern the signs of the times!
4A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Yonah. And He left them and went away.
5And His taught ones came to the other side, and had forgotten to take bread.
6And יהושע said to them, “Mind! And beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
7And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “Because we brought no bread!”
8But יהושע, aware of this, said to them, “O you of little belief, why do you reason among yourselves because you brought no bread?
9“Do you still not understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you picked up?
10Or the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you picked up?”
11How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”
12Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
13Now when יהושע came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His taught ones, saying, “Who do men say the Son of Aḏam is?”
14And they said, “Some say Yoḥanan the Immerser, and others Ěliyahu, and others Yirmeyahu or one of the prophets.”
15He said to them, “And you, who do you say I am?”
16And Shim‛on Kĕpha answering, said, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim.”#This is repeated in eight more places.
17And יהושע answering, said to him, “Blessed are you, Shim‛on Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.
18And I also say to you that you are Kĕpha, and on this rock I shall build My assembly, and the gates of She’ol#Shem Toḇ reads: GĕHinnom, i.e. ‘valley of weeping’. shall not overcome it.
19And I shall give you the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever you bind on earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever you loosen on earth shall be having been loosened in the heavens.”# Binding and loosening is a Hebrew idiom for exercising authority (to prohibit and permit).
20Then He warned His taught ones that they should say to no one that He is יהושע the Messiah.
21From that time יהושע began to show to His taught ones that it was necessary for Him to go to Yerushalayim, and to suffer much from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and to be raised again the third day.
22And Kĕpha took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, Master, this shall not be to You!”
23But He turned and said to Kĕpha, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to Me, for your thoughts are not those of Elohim, but those of men.”
24Then יהושע said to His taught ones, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his stake, and follow Me.
25“For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it.
26“For what is a man profited if he gains all the world, and loses his own life? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?
27For the Son of Aḏam is going to come in the esteem of His Father with His messengers, and then He shall reward each according to his works.# Psa. 62:12; Pro. 24:12#See also Mat. 21:44; John 5:29; Rom. 2:6; 2Cor. 5:10; Eph. 2:10; Titus 2:7; Titus 2:14; Jas. 2:14-24; Rev. 22:12
28Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death at all until they see the Son of Aḏam coming in His reign:"#See Mat. 17:2-5
