Matthew 16
16
1And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to him, asked him, tempting him, to shew them a sign out of heaven. 2But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine weather, for the sky is red; 3and in the morning, A storm to-day, for the sky is red and lowering; ye know how to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot the signs of the times. 4A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas. And he left them and went away.
5And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 7And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread. 8And Jesus knowing it, said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread? 9Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up? 10nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11How do ye not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? 12Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am? 14And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets. 15He says to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? 16And Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens. 18And I also, I say unto thee that thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it. 19And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens. 20Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ.
21From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised. 22And Peter taking him to him began to rebuke him, saying, God be favourable to thee, Lord; this shall in no wise be unto thee. 23But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.
24Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall 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 render to each according to his doings. 28Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Matthew 16
16
1 And Pharisees and Sadducees approached him to test him, and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 But he responded by saying to them: "When evening arrives, you say, 'It will be calm, for the sky is red,'
3 and in the morning, 'Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.' So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know the signs of the times?
4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah." And leaving them behind, he went away.
5 And when his disciples went across the sea, they forgot to bring bread.
6 And he said to them, "Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees."
7 But they were thinking within themselves, saying, "It is because we have not brought bread."
8 Then Jesus, knowing this, said: "Why do you consider within yourselves, O little in faith, that it is because you have no bread?
9 Do you not yet understand, nor remember, the five loaves among the five thousand men, and how many containers you took up?
10 Or the seven loaves among the four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?
11 Why do you not understand that it was not because of bread that I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees?"
12 Then they understood that he was not saying that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
13 Then Jesus went into parts of Caesarea Philippi. And he questioned his disciples, saying, "Who do men say that the Son of man is?"
14 And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, still others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
15 Jesus said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 Simon Peter responded by saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17 And in response, Jesus said to him: "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven.
18 And I say to you, that you are 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 you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound, even in heaven. And whatever you shall release on earth shall be released, even in heaven."
20 Then he instructed his disciples that they should tell no one that he is Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time, Jesus began to reveal to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the elders and the scribes and the leaders of the priests, and to be killed, and to rise again on the third day.
22 And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, "Lord, may it be far from you; this shall not happen to you."
23 And turning away, Jesus said to Peter: "Get behind me, Satan; you are an obstacle to me. For you are not behaving according to what is of God, but according to what is of men."
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "If anyone is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whoever would save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life for my sake, shall find it.
26 For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, yet truly suffers damage to his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man will arrive in the glory of his Father, with his Angels. And then he will repay each one according to his works.
28 Amen I say to you, there are some among those standing here, who shall not taste death, until they see the Son of man arriving in his reign."
