Mateo 16
La Biblia de las Américas
Fariseos y saduceos piden señal
16 (A)Entonces los fariseos y los saduceos(B) se acercaron a Jesús, y para ponerle a prueba[a] le pidieron que les mostrara una señal[b] del cielo(C). 2 Pero respondiendo Él, les dijo: [c]Al caer la tarde decís: «Hará buen tiempo, porque el cielo está rojizo(D)». 3 Y por la mañana: «Hoy habrá tempestad, porque el cielo está rojizo y amenazador». ¿Sabéis discernir el aspecto[d] del cielo, pero no podéis discernir las señales de los tiempos(E)? 4 Una generación perversa y adúltera(F) busca señal[e], y no se le dará señal[f], sino la señal de Jonás. Y dejándolos, se fue.
La levadura de los fariseos y saduceos
5 Los discípulos, al pasar al otro lado, se habían olvidado de tomar panes. 6 Y Jesús les dijo: Estad atentos y guardaos(G) de la levadura de los fariseos y saduceos(H). 7 Y ellos discutían entre sí, diciendo: Lo dice porque no tomamos panes. 8 Pero Jesús, dándose cuenta, dijo: Hombres de poca fe(I), ¿por qué discutís entre vosotros que no tenéis pan? 9 ¿Todavía no entendéis ni recordáis los cinco panes para los cinco mil, y cuántas cestas recogisteis(J)? 10 ¿Ni los siete panes para los cuatro mil, y cuántas canastas recogisteis(K)? 11 ¿Cómo es que no entendéis que no os hablé de los panes? Pero guardaos(L) de la levadura de los fariseos y saduceos(M). 12 Entonces entendieron que no les había dicho que se guardaran de la levadura de los panes, sino de la enseñanza de los fariseos y saduceos(N).
La confesión de Pedro
13 (O)Cuando llegó Jesús a la región de Cesarea de Filipo(P), preguntó a sus discípulos, diciendo: ¿Quién dicen los hombres que es el Hijo del Hombre(Q)? 14 Y ellos dijeron: Unos, Juan el Bautista(R); y otros, Elías(S); pero otros, Jeremías o uno de los profetas. 15 Él les dijo*: Y vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy yo? 16 Respondiendo Simón Pedro, dijo: Tú eres el Cristo[g](T), el Hijo(U) del Dios viviente(V). 17 Y Jesús, respondiendo, le dijo: Bienaventurado eres, Simón, hijo de Jonás(W), porque esto no te lo reveló carne ni sangre(X), sino mi Padre que está en los cielos. 18 Yo también te digo que tú eres Pedro[h](Y), y sobre esta roca[i] edificaré mi iglesia; y las puertas del Hades[j](Z) no prevalecerán contra ella. 19 Yo te daré las llaves del reino de los cielos(AA); y lo que ates en la tierra, será[k] atado en los cielos; y lo que desates en la tierra, será[l] desatado en los cielos(AB). 20 Entonces ordenó a los discípulos(AC) que a nadie dijeran que Él era el Cristo[m](AD).
Jesús anuncia su muerte y resurrección
21 (AE)Desde entonces Jesucristo comenzó a declarar[n] a sus discípulos que debía ir a Jerusalén y sufrir muchas cosas de parte de los ancianos(AF), de los principales sacerdotes y de los escribas, y ser muerto, y resucitar al tercer día. 22 Y tomándole aparte, Pedro comenzó a reprenderle, diciendo: ¡No lo permita Dios[o], Señor! Eso nunca te acontecerá[p]. 23 Pero volviéndose Él, dijo a Pedro: ¡Quítate de delante de mí[q], Satanás(AG)! Me eres piedra de tropiezo; porque no estás pensando en las cosas de Dios, sino en las de los hombres.
Condiciones para seguir a Jesús
24 Entonces Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz(AH) y sígame. 25 Porque el que quiera salvar su vida[r], la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida[s] por causa de mí, la hallará(AI). 26 Pues ¿qué provecho obtendrá un hombre si gana el mundo entero, pero pierde su alma? O ¿qué dará un hombre a cambio de su alma? 27 Porque el Hijo del Hombre(AJ) ha de venir en la gloria de su Padre(AK) con sus ángeles, y entonces recompensara a cada uno según su conducta(AL). 28 En verdad os digo que hay algunos de los que están aquí que no probarán la muerte hasta que vean al Hijo del Hombre(AM) venir en su reino(AN).

Traducción en lenguaje actual
La señal de Jonás
16 Algunos de los fariseos y de los saduceos se acercaron a Jesús para ponerle una trampa, y le dijeron:
—Queremos que hagas un milagro que pruebe que Dios te ha enviado.
2 Pero Jesús les dijo:
—Cuando ustedes miran el cielo por la tarde, y está rojo, dicen: “¡Va a hacer buen tiempo!” 3 Pero si en la mañana el cielo está rojo y nublado, dicen: “¡Hoy va a hacer mal tiempo!” Ustedes entienden muy bien las señales en el cielo acerca del tiempo. ¿Por qué, entonces, no entienden que lo que ahora hago es una señal de Dios? 4 Ustedes piden una señal porque son malos y no quieren creer. Pero la única señal que les daré será lo que le pasó al profeta Jonás.
Dicho esto, Jesús los dejó y se fue.
Las enseñanzas de los fariseos
5 Jesús y sus discípulos cruzaron al otro lado del Lago de Galilea. Pero los discípulos se olvidaron de llevar pan. 6 Y Jesús les dijo:
—Miren, tengan cuidado con la levadura de los fariseos y de los saduceos.
7 Los discípulos comenzaron a hablar entre ellos, y decían: «Seguramente Jesús dijo eso porque no trajimos pan». 8 Jesús se dio cuenta de lo que hablaban, y les dijo:
—¡Qué poco confían en Dios! ¿Por qué se preocupan por no tener pan? 9 Entiendan bien lo que les quiero decir; ¿o ya se olvidaron de aquella vez, cuando alimenté a cinco mil hombres con cinco panes nada más? ¿Ya se olvidaron de las canastas que llenaron con los pedazos que sobraron? 10 ¿Ya no recuerdan que también alimenté a otros cuatro mil con sólo siete panes, y que ustedes llenaron muchas canastas? 11 ¿No entienden que yo no estaba hablando de pan? ¡Cuídense de la levadura de los fariseos y de los saduceos!
12 Entonces los discípulos entendieron que Jesús no estaba hablando de la levadura que se pone en la masa del pan, sino de las malas enseñanzas de los fariseos y de los saduceos.
¿Quién es Jesús?
13 Cuando llegaron cerca del pueblo de Cesarea de Filipo, Jesús preguntó a sus discípulos:
—¿Qué dice la gente acerca de mí, el Hijo del hombre?
14 Los discípulos contestaron:
—Algunos dicen que eres Juan el Bautista, y otros dicen que eres el profeta Elías, o el profeta Jeremías, o alguno de los profetas.
15 Entonces Jesús les preguntó:
—Y ustedes, ¿qué opinan? ¿Quién soy yo?
16 Pedro contestó:
—Tú eres el Mesías, el Hijo del Dios que vive y da vida.
17 Jesús le dijo:
—¡Bendito seas, Pedro hijo de Jonás! Porque no sabes esto por tu propia cuenta, sino que te lo enseñó mi Padre que está en el cielo. 18 Por eso te llamaré Pedro, que quiere decir “piedra”. Sobre esta piedra construiré mi iglesia, y la muerte no podrá destruirla. 19 A ti, Pedro, te daré autoridad en el reino de Dios. Todas las cosas que tú prohíbas aquí en la tierra, desde el cielo Dios las prohibirá. Y las cosas que tú permitas, también Dios las permitirá.
20 Entonces Jesús ordenó a sus discípulos que no le contaran a nadie que él era el Mesías.
Jesús habla de su muerte
21 Desde ese momento, Jesús comenzó a decirles a sus discípulos lo que le iba a pasar: «Tendré que ir a Jerusalén, y los líderes del país, los sacerdotes principales y los maestros de la Ley me harán sufrir mucho. Allí van a matarme, pero tres días después resucitaré.»
22 Entonces Pedro se llevó a Jesús aparte y lo reprendió por hablar así. Le dijo:
—¡Eso no puede sucederte, Señor! ¡Que Dios nunca lo permita!
23 Jesús se volvió y le dijo:
—¡Pedro, estás hablando como Satanás! ¡Vete! Tú no entiendes los planes de Dios, y me estás pidiendo que los desobedezca.
24 Luego Jesús les dijo a sus discípulos:
«Si ustedes quieren ser mis discípulos, tienen que olvidarse de hacer su propia voluntad. Tienen que estar dispuestos a cargar su cruz[a] y a hacer lo que yo les diga. 25 Si sólo les preocupa salvar su vida, la van a perder. Pero si deciden dar su vida por mi causa, entonces se salvarán. 26 De nada sirve que una persona gane en este mundo todo lo que quiera, si al fin de cuentas pierde su vida. Y nadie puede dar nada para salvarla. 27 Porque yo, el Hijo del hombre, vendré pronto con el poder de Dios y con mis ángeles, para darles su premio a los que hicieron el bien y para castigar a los que hicieron el mal. 28 Les aseguro que algunos de ustedes, que están aquí conmigo, no morirán hasta que me vean reinar.»

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.”

King James Version
16 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art 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 unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

American Standard Version
16 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 But he answered and said unto them, [a]When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the heaven is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day: for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot discern the signs of the times. 4 An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
5 And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take [b]bread. 6 And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [c]We took no [d]bread. 8 And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no [e]bread? 9 Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many [f]baskets ye took up? 10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many [g]baskets ye took up? 11 How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning [h]bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 12 Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of [i]bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say [j]that the Son of man is? 14 And they said, Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say unto thee, that thou art [k]Peter, and upon this [l]rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ.
21 From that time began [m]Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. 22 And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, [n]Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men. 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life? 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his [o]deeds. 28 Verily I say unto you, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
