Hiningan ng Tanda si Jesus(A)

16 Lumapit(B) kay Jesus ang ilang Pariseo at Saduseo. Upang siya'y subukin, humingi sila sa kanya ng isang himala mula sa langit. Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, [“Kapag dapit-hapon ay sinasabi ninyo, ‘Magiging maganda ang panahon dahil maaliwalas ang langit.’ At kapag umaga nama'y sinasabi ninyo, ‘Uulan ngayon dahil madilim ang langit.’ Nakakabasa kayo ng palatandaan sa langit, ngunit hindi ninyo mabasa ang mga palatandaan ng kasalukuyang panahon.][a] Lahing(C) masama at taksil sa Diyos! Humihingi kayo ng palatandaan, ngunit walang ibibigay sa inyo maliban sa himalang nangyari kay Jonas!”

Pagkatapos nito, umalis si Jesus.

Ang Pampaalsang Ginagamit ng mga Pariseo at mga Saduseo(D)

Nang tumawid sa ibayo ang mga alagad, nakalimutan nilang magdala ng tinapay. Sinabi(E) ni Jesus sa kanila, “Mag-ingat kayo sa pampaalsang kinakalat ng mga Pariseo at mga Saduseo.”

Nag-usap-usap ang mga alagad, “Wala kasi tayong dalang tinapay, kaya sinabi niya iyon.”

Alam ni Jesus ang pinag-uusapan nila kaya't sila'y tinanong, “Bakit ninyo pinag-uusapang wala kayong dalang tinapay? Napakaliit ng inyong pananampalataya! Hindi(F) pa ba ninyo nauunawaan hanggang ngayon? Nakalimutan na ba ninyo ang limang tinapay na pinaghati-hati para sa limanlibong tao? Ilang kaing na tinapay ang lumabis? 10 Gayundin(G) ang pitong tinapay para sa apat na libo. Ilang kaing na tinapay ang lumabis? 11 Hindi tungkol sa tinapay ang sinasabi ko nang sabihin ko sa inyong mag-ingat kayo sa pampaalsang kinakalat ng mga Pariseo at mga Saduseo! Hindi ba ninyo maunawaan ito?” 12 At naunawaan nila na sila'y pinag-iingat niya sa mga katuruan ng mga Pariseo at mga Saduseo, at hindi sa pampaalsang ginagamit sa tinapay.

Ang Pahayag ni Pedro tungkol kay Jesus(H)

13 Nang dumating si Jesus sa bayan ng Cesarea ng Filipos, tinanong niya ang kanyang mga alagad, “Sino raw ang Anak ng Tao, ayon sa mga tao?” 14 At(I) sumagot sila, “Ang sabi po ng ilan, kayo si Juan na Tagapagbautismo. Sabi po naman ng iba, kayo si Elias. At may nagsasabi pong kayo si Jeremias, o isa sa mga propeta.” 15 Tinanong ulit sila ni Jesus, “Ngunit para sa inyo, sino ako?” 16 Sumagot(J) si Simon Pedro, “Kayo po ang Cristo, ang Anak ng Diyos na buháy.” 17 Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Pinagpala ka, Simon na anak ni Jonas! Sapagkat ang katotohanang ito'y hindi inihayag sa iyo ng sinumang tao kundi ng aking Ama na nasa langit. 18 At sinasabi ko sa iyo, ikaw ay Pedro,[b] at sa ibabaw ng batong[c] ito ay itatayo ko ang aking iglesya at ang kapangyarihan ng kamatayan ay hindi magtatagumpay laban sa kanya. 19 Ibibigay(K) ko sa iyo ang mga susi ng kaharian ng langit. Ang ipagbawal mo sa lupa ay ipagbabawal sa langit, at ang ipahintulot mo sa lupa ay ipahihintulot din sa langit.” 20 At mahigpit niyang iniutos sa kanyang mga alagad na huwag sabihin kaninuman na siya nga ang Cristo.

Unang Pagpapahayag ni Jesus tungkol sa Kanyang Kamatayan at Muling Pagkabuhay(L)

21 Mula noon ay ipinaalam na ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad ang mangyayari sa kanya. Sinabi niya, “Dapat akong magtungo sa Jerusalem at magdanas ng maraming hirap sa kamay ng mga pinuno ng bayan, mga punong pari at mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Ako'y papatayin, ngunit sa ikatlong araw ako'y muling mabubuhay.”

22 Dinala siya ni Pedro sa isang tabi at pinagsabihan, “Panginoon, huwag nawang itulot ng Diyos! Kailanma'y hindi iyan mangyayari sa inyo.”

23 Ngunit hinarap siya ni Jesus at sinabihan, “Lumayo ka, Satanas! Hadlang ka sa aking landas. Ang iniisip mo'y hindi sa Diyos kundi sa tao.”

24 Sinabi(M) ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad, “Sinumang nagnanais sumunod sa akin ay kailangang itakwil ang kanyang sarili, pasanin ang kanyang krus, at sumunod sa akin. 25 Ang(N) naghahangad na magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito; ngunit ang mawalan ng kanyang buhay alang-alang sa akin ay magkakamit nito. 26 Sapagkat ano ba ang mapapala ng isang tao makamtan man niya ang buong daigdig, ngunit mapapahamak naman ang kanyang sarili? Ano ang maibibigay ng isang tao kapalit ng kanyang buhay? 27 Sapagkat(O) darating ang Anak ng Tao na kasama ang kanyang mga anghel, at taglay ang dakilang kapangyarihan ng kanyang Ama. Sa panahong iyo'y gagantimpalaan niya ang bawat tao ayon sa ginawa nito. 28 Tandaan ninyo: may ilan sa inyong naririto na hindi mamamatay hangga't hindi nila nakikita ang Anak ng Tao na dumarating bilang hari.”

The leaven of the Pharisees

16 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tried to catch him out by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

This was his reply to them: “When it’s evening you say, ‘Sky looks like wine, it’s going to be fine.’ And in the morning you say, ‘Red in the sky, rain by and by.’ Well then: you know how to work out the look of the sky, so why can’t you work out the signs of the times? The generation that wants a sign is wicked and corrupt! No sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah.”

With that, he left them and went away.

When the disciples crossed over the lake, they forgot to bring any bread. “Watch out,” said Jesus to them, “and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

They discussed it with each other. “It’s because we didn’t bring any bread,” they said.

But Jesus knew what they were thinking. “You really are a little-faith lot!” he said. “Why are you discussing with each other that you haven’t got any bread? Don’t you understand, even now? Don’t you remember the five loaves and the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you picked up afterwards? 10 Or the seven loaves and the four thousand, and how many baskets you picked up? 11 Why can’t you see that I wasn’t talking about bread? Watch out for the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”

12 Then they understood that he wasn’t telling them to beware of the leaven you get in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Peter’s declaration of Jesus’ messiahship

13 Jesus came to Caesarea Philippi. There he put this question to his disciples: “Who do people say that the son of man is?”

14 “John the Baptist,” they replied. “Others say Elijah. Others say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”

15 “What about you?” he asked them. “Who do you say I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered.

“You’re the Messiah,” he said. “You’re the son of the living God!”

17 “God’s blessing on you, Simon, son of John!” answered Jesus. “Flesh and blood didn’t reveal that to you; it was my father in heaven. 18 And I’ve got something to tell you, too: you are Peter, the rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell won’t overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you tie up on earth will have been tied up in heaven, and whatever you untie on earth will have been untied in heaven.”

20 Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

Jesus predicts his death

21 From then on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he would have to go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.

22 Peter took him and began to tell him off. “Certainly not, Master!” he said. “That’s never, ever going to happen to you!”

23 Jesus turned on Peter. “Get behind me, satan!” he said. “You’re trying to trip me up! You’re coming at this from a human point of view, not from God’s point of view!”

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come after me, they must give themselves up, and pick up their cross, and follow me. 25 Yes: if someone wants to save their life, they must lose it; and if anyone loses their life for my sake they will find it. 26 What use will it be, otherwise, if you win the whole world but forfeit your true life? What will you give to get your life back? 27 You see, the son of man is going to ‘come in the glory of his father with his angels,’ and then ‘he will reward everyone for the work they have done.’ 28 I’m telling you the truth: some of those standing here will not taste death until they see ‘the son of man coming in his kingdom.’ ”

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)

He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 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) 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

When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”(F)

They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”

Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith,(G) why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? 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.”
