Matteus 16
En Levende Bok
De religiøse lederne vil se tegn fra Gud
16 Fariseerne og saddukeerne[a] kom til Jesus, og forlangte at han skulle gi dem et tegn fra Gud som bevis på hvem han var.
2-3 Men han svarte: ”Dere er flinke til å tyde de tegnene dere ser på himmelen: Om himmelen er rød når kvelden kommer, da vet dere at det blir fint vær på morgenen. Om himmelen er rød og skyet på morgenen, da vet dere at det snart blir uvær. Nå vil dere altså at himmelens Gud skal vise dere et tegn, likevel forstår dere ikke de tingene som skjer midt foran øynene på dere. 4 Denne onde og gudløse slekten vil se tegn fra Gud. Det eneste tegnet de kommer til å få se, er det som skjedde med Jona.[b]” Så dro Jesus fra dem og gikk derfra.
Jesus advarer mot falsk undervisning
5 Da de var på vei over til den andre siden av sjøen, oppdaget disiplene at de hadde glemt å ta med seg brød.
6 Jesus sa da til dem: ”Ta dere i vare for den gjæren som fariseerne og saddukeerne[c] sprer.”
7 ”Hva mener han?” spurte disiplene hverandre. De trodde at han sa dette fordi de hadde glemt å ta med seg brød.
8 Da Jesus hørte de diskutere dette, sa han til dem: ”Så svak tro dere har! Hvorfor er dere så urolige for at dere ikke har noe brød? 9 Forstår dere fortsatt ingenting? Husker dere ikke den gangen jeg mettet mer enn 5 000 personer med fem brød, og hvor mange kurver dere da fikk til overs? 10 Husker dere ikke den andre gangen da jeg mettet mer enn 4 000 personer med sju brød, og hvor mange kurver dere da fikk til overs? 11 Hvordan kan dere tro at jeg snakket om brød? Jeg sier på nytt til dere: Ta dere i være for den gjæren som fariseerne og saddukeerne sprer om seg.”
12 Da forsto de endelig at han med ”gjær” mente den falske undervisningen til fariseerne og saddukeerne, og at det var den han advarte dem mot.
Peter bekjenner at Jesus er Messias, den lovede kongen
13 Da Jesus kom til området rundt Cæsarea Filippi[d], spurte han disiplene: ”Hvem sier folk at jeg, Menneskesønnen[e], er?”
14 De svarte: ”Noen sier døperen Johannes, noen sier Elia og andre Jeremia eller en av de andre profetene som før i tiden bar fram Guds budskap.[f]”
15 Da spurte han dem: ”Hvem tror dere at jeg er?”
16 Simon Peter svarte: ”Du er Messias, den lovede kongen, Sønn til den Gud som er og blir.”
17 ”Du kan virkelig kjenne deg lykkelig, Simon, sønn av Jonas”, sa Jesus, ”for min Far i himmelen har selv vist deg dette. Ingen kan på egen hånd få innsikt i den saken. 18 Du er Peter[g], en klippe, og på denne klippe vil jeg bygge min menighet. Helvetes krefter skal ikke kunne beseire den. 19 Jeg skal gi deg nøklene inn til Guds nye verden[h]. Du skal få i oppdrag å fortelle menneskene at Gud har erklært dem skyldige, men du skal også fortelle dem at de har blitt fri fra sin skyld.[i]”
20 Han forbød disiplene å si til andre at han var Messias, den lovede kongen.
Jesus forutsier for første gangen at han skal dø
21 Etter dette begynte Jesus å snakke åpent ut med disiplene om at han skulle gå til Jerusalem, og alt som skulle skje der. Han forklarte at folkets ledere, øversteprestene og de skriftlærde[j], ville gjøre det slik at han måtte lide mye og til slutt bli drept, men at han på den tredje[k] dagen skulle stå opp fra de døde igjen.
22 Peter tok ham da til siden, protesterte og sa: ”Gud kommer til å ta hånd om deg, Herre! Dette skal aldri skje med deg!”
23 Men Jesus vendte seg mot Peter og sa: ”Gå bort fra meg, Satan! Du forsøker å få meg til å synde, for det du tenker, er mennesketanker og kommer ikke fra Gud.”
24 Jesus sa til disiplene: ”Om noen vil bli disiplene mine, da kan han ikke lenger tenke på seg selv, men han må følge mitt eksempel og være beredt til å dø. 25 Ja, den som klamrer seg fast til livet, vil til slutt miste det, men den som mister livet sitt for min skyld, vil finne det. 26 Hvilken gevinst får et menneske om det blir gitt hele verden i hendene, men samtidig mister det evige livet? Alle pengene i hele verden kan ikke hjelpe et menneske til å få livet tilbake. 27 Jeg, Menneskesønnen[l], skal komme i min Fars herlighet med mine engler og dømme hvert enkelt menneske for det de har gjort. 28 Men tro meg: Noen av dere som nå står her, skal ikke dø før de har sett meg, Menneskesønnen, komme med kongelig makt.[m]”

Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
一些人怀疑耶稣的权威
16 法利赛人和撒都该人来试探耶稣,他们让耶稣给他们显示一个来自天堂的神迹。
2 耶稣回答∶“你们看到日落时,能辩别天气。如果天边有红霞,你们会说∶‘明天一定是晴天。’ 3 日出时,天色又红又暗,你们会说∶‘暴风雨要来了。’你们通过这些迹象来分辨天色,同样,你们也看到当今正在发生的事情,它们也是一些迹象,但是你们却分辩不出它们的含义。 4 邪恶、没信仰的一代人寻求神迹,可是,除了约拿的神迹以外,没有别的神迹会给他们看。”说完,耶稣离开了他们。
耶稣的门徒误解他
5 耶稣和门徒们来到湖(加利利湖)对岸,但是门徒们忘了带面包。 6 耶稣告诉门徒们∶“当心!要提防法利赛人和撒都该人的酵母。”
7 门徒们私下议论说∶“大概是因为我们忘带面包了,他才这么说。”
8 耶稣知道门徒们在说什么,对他们说∶“你们这些没有什么信仰的人,你们为什么私下议论说没有面包呢? 9 你们还不明白吗?你们难道忘了我用五块面包让五千人吃饱饭后,你们捡了多少筐剩饭吗? 10 你们难道也忘了我用七块面包让四千人吃饱了饭,你们捡了多少筐剩饭吗? 11 你们怎么就不明白,我刚才对你们说的根本就不是面包的事,我是说你们要提防法利赛人和撒都该人的酵母(影响)。”
12 门徒们这才明白过来,耶稣并不是要他们警惕做面包用的酵母,而是要警惕法利赛人和撒都该人的教义。
彼得说耶稣是基督
13 耶稣来到该撒利亚腓立比地区,他问门徒∶“人们都说我是 [a]谁?”
14 门徒们答道∶“有人说您是施洗者约翰,有人说您是以利亚,有人说您是耶利米 [b],或是一位先知。”
15 耶稣问门徒∶“你们说我是谁?”
16 西门彼得 [c]回答说∶“您是基督,是活生生的上帝的儿子。”
17 耶稣对他说∶“约拿之子,西门,你是有福的,因为向你揭示这一切的,不是凡人,而是我的天父。 18 我还要告诉你,你是彼得,我要把我的教会建立在这块磐石上,死亡的力量 [d]也无法征服它。 19 我把天堂的钥匙交给你。你在地上所做的审判,就是上帝的审判;你在地上许下的宽恕,就是上帝的宽恕。” [e] 20 耶稣严厉地告诫门徒,不要告诉别人他是基督。
耶稣谈到自己必死
21 从此,耶稣开始向门徒们解释说他必须去耶路撒冷,年长的犹太首领、祭司长和律法师必会让他遭受到很多苦难。他还告诉他们,他必被杀害,并在第三天必定复活。
22 彼得把耶稣拉到一边,责备他说∶“主,打消这个想法吧!这事绝不会落到你身上。”
23 耶稣转身对彼得说∶“走开,撒旦 [f]!你是我的绊脚石,你不关心上帝的事,而只关心凡人认为重要的事。”
24 接着耶稣对门徒们说∶“如果谁想成为我的门徒,他就必须舍弃自己,背起他的十字架跟随我。 25 凡是想保全生命的人都将丧生;凡是为我牺牲生命的人都会得到生命。 26 如果一个人失去了生命,即使他得到了整个世界,也毫无价值。一个人用什么也无法赎回他的生命。 27 人子将在天父的荣耀之中和他的天使们一起降临。那时,他会根据每个人的所作所为来报应他们。 28 我实话告诉你们,站在这里的一些人在经历死亡之前,会看到人子降临在他的王国里。”

The Leaders Ask for a Miracle(A)
16 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus, wanting to ·trick [test] him. So they asked him to show them a ·miracle [sign] from ·God [L heaven; C possibly a sign in the sky, but more likely a Jewish way of saying “from God”].
2 Jesus answered,[a] “·At sunset [In the evening] you say we will have good weather, because the sky is red. 3 And in the morning you say that it will be ·a rainy day [stormy; bad weather], because the sky is red and ·dark [threatening; overcast]. You see ·these signs in [the appearance of] the sky and know ·what they mean [how to interpret them]. ·In the same way [or However; On the other hand], you ·see the things that I am doing now, but you don’t know their meaning [L cannot interpret the signs of the times]. 4 ·Evil and sinful people [L An evil/wicked and adulterous generation] ·ask for [seek; demand] a miracle as a sign, but they will not be given any sign, except the sign of Jonah [see 12:40; Jon. 1:17].” Then Jesus left them and went away.
Guard Against Wrong Teachings(B)
5 Jesus’ ·followers [disciples] went ·across the lake [L to the other side], but they had forgotten to bring bread. 6 Jesus said to them, “·Be careful [Watch out]! Beware of the ·yeast [leaven] of the Pharisees and the Sadducees [C yeast or leaven refers here to the dangerous permeating power of their influence].”
7 ·His followers [L They] discussed the meaning of this, saying, “He said this because we forgot to bring bread.”
8 Knowing what they were talking about, Jesus asked them, “Why are you ·talking [discussing; arguing] about not having bread? ·Your faith is small [What little faith you have!; T You of little faith]. 9 Do you still not understand? Remember the five loaves of bread that fed the five thousand? And remember that you filled many baskets with the leftovers? 10 Or the seven loaves of bread that fed the four thousand and the many [large] baskets you filled then also? 11 Why don’t you understand that I was not talking to you about bread? I am telling you to beware of the ·yeast [leaven] of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” 12 Then ·the followers [L they] understood that Jesus was not telling them to beware of the ·yeast [leaven] used in bread but to beware of the teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
Peter Says Jesus Is the Christ(C)
13 When Jesus came to the area of Caesarea Philippi [C 25 miles north of Lake Galilee near Mount Hermon], he asked his ·followers [disciples], “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14 They answered, “Some say you are John the Baptist. Others say you are Elijah [C some Jews expected Elijah to return in the end times; Mal. 4:5], and still others say you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets [Deut. 18:15].”
15 Then Jesus asked them, “·And [But] who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the ·Christ [Messiah], the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus answered, “You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah, because ·no person taught you that [L flesh and blood did not reveal this to you]. [L But; Rather] My Father in heaven ·showed you who I am [revealed it]. 18 So I tell you, you are Peter [C the Greek petros, like the Aramaic cephas, means “rock” or “stone”]. On this rock I will build my church, and the ·power of death [L gates of Hades/the underworld] will not be able to ·defeat [overpower; conquer; prevail against] it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; ·the things [and whatever] you ·don’t allow [forbid; L bind] on earth will be ·the things that God does not allow [forbidden/L bound in heaven], and ·the things [whatever] you ·allow [permit; L loose] on earth will be ·the things that God allows [permitted/L loosed in heaven].” 20 Then Jesus [sternly] warned his ·followers [disciples] not to tell anyone he was the ·Christ [Messiah].
Jesus Says that He Must Die(D)
21 From that time on Jesus began ·telling [showing; making it clear to] his ·followers [disciples] that he must go to Jerusalem, where the Jewish elders, the leading priests, and the ·teachers of the law [scribes] would make him suffer ·many things [greatly]. He told them he must be killed and then be raised from the dead on the third day.
22 Peter took Jesus aside and ·told him not to talk like that [L began to reprimand/rebuke him]. He said, “·God save you from those things [God forbid; May it never be; L (God) Be merciful], Lord! Those things ·will never [must certainly not] happen to you!”
23 Then Jesus turned and said to Peter, “·Go away from [Get behind] me, Satan! You are ·not helping [an obstacle/stumbling block to] me! You ·don’t care about [are not setting your mind on/thinking about] the things of God, but only ·about the things people think are important [on/about human concerns].”
24 Then Jesus said to his ·followers [disciples], “If ·people want [L anyone wants] to follow me, they must ·give up the things they want [deny themselves; turn from selfishness; set aside their own interests]. They must ·be willing even to give up their lives to [L take up their cross and] follow me. 25 Those who want to save their lives will ·give up true life [L lose their life/soul; C Greek psychē can mean “life” or “soul,” producing this play on words], and those who ·give up [lose; sacrifice] their lives for ·me [my sake] will ·have true life [find life]. 26 ·It is worthless [What good/profit/benefit is it…?] to ·have [gain] the whole world if they ·lose [forfeit] their souls. ·They could never pay enough [L Or what could they give…?] ·to buy back [in exchange for] their souls. 27 [L For] The Son of Man will come again with his Father’s glory and with his angels. At that time, he will ·reward [repay; give back; judge] them for what they have done [Ps. 62:12; Prov. 24:12]. 28 I tell you the truth, some people standing here will not ·die [L taste death] before they see the Son of Man [Dan. 7:13–14] coming with his kingdom.” [C This may refer to the Transfiguration which follows (17:1–8), Jesus’ resurrection, or the destruction of Jerusalem in ad 70.]

New International Version
The Demand for a Sign(A)
16 The Pharisees and Sadducees(B) came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.(C)
2 He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.[a](D) 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”(E) Jesus then left them and went away.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5 When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. 6 “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”(F)
7 They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”
8 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith,(G) why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(H) 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(I) 11 How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.(J)
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(K)
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(L) others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”(M)
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”(N)
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood,(O) but by my Father in heaven.(P) 18 And I tell you that you are Peter,[b](Q) and on this rock I will build my church,(R) and the gates of Hades[c] will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys(S) of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be[d] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[e] loosed in heaven.”(T) 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone(U) that he was the Messiah.
Jesus Predicts His Death(V)
21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem(W) and suffer many things(X) at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(Y) and that he must be killed(Z) and on the third day(AA) be raised to life.(AB)
22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan!(AC) You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.(AD) 25 For whoever wants to save their life[f] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.(AE) 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man(AF) is going to come(AG) in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.(AH)
28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
