Matteo 16
Nuova Riveduta 1994

Gesú rimprovera i farisei

16 (A)I *farisei e i *sadducei si avvicinarono a lui per metterlo alla prova e gli chiesero di mostrar loro
un segno dal cielo. 2 Ma egli rispose: «Quando si fa sera, voi dite: “Bel tempo, perché il cielo rosseggia!” 3 e la mattina dite: “Oggi tempesta, perché il cielo rosseggia cupo!” L'aspetto del cielo lo sapete dunque discernere, e i segni dei tempi non riuscite a discernerli? 4 Questa generazione malvagia e adultera chiede un segno, e segno non le sarà dato se non quello di *Giona». E, lasciatili, se ne andò.

5 I discepoli, passati all'altra riva, si erano dimenticati di prendere dei pani. 6 E Gesú disse loro: «Guardatevi bene dal lievito dei farisei e dei sadducei». 7 Ed essi ragionavano tra di loro e dicevano: «Egli parla cosí, perché non abbiamo preso dei pani». 8 Ma Gesú se ne accorse e disse: «Gente di poca fede, perché discutete tra di voi del fatto di non aver pane? 9 Non capite ancora? Non vi ricordate dei cinque pani dei cinquemila uomini e quante ceste ne portaste via? 10 Né dei sette pani dei quattromila uomini e quanti panieri ne portaste via? 11 Come mai non capite che non è di pani che io vi parlavo? Ma guardatevi dal lievito dei farisei e dei sadducei». 12 Allora capirono che non aveva loro detto di guardarsi dal lievito del pane, ma dall'insegnamento dei farisei e dei sadducei.

Pietro riconosce in Gesú il Cristo

13 (B)Poi Gesú, giunto nei dintorni di *Cesarea di Filippo, domandò ai suoi discepoli: «Chi dice la gente che sia il *Figlio dell'uomo?» 14 Essi risposero: «Alcuni dicono *Giovanni il battista; altri, *Elia; altri, *Geremia o uno dei *profeti». 15 Ed egli disse loro: «E voi, chi dite che io sia?» 16 *Simon *Pietro rispose: «Tu sei il Cristo, il *Figlio del Dio vivente».

17 Gesú, replicando, disse: «Tu sei beato, Simone, figlio di Giona, perché non la carne e il sangue ti hanno rivelato questo, ma il Padre mio che è nei cieli. 18 E anch'io ti dico: tu sei Pietro, e su questa pietra[a] edificherò la mia chiesa, e le porte dell'Ades[b] non la potranno vincere. 19 Io ti darò le chiavi del regno dei cieli; tutto ciò che legherai in terra sarà legato nei cieli, e tutto ciò che scioglierai in terra sarà sciolto nei cieli». 20 Allora ordinò ai suoi discepoli di non dire a nessuno che egli era il Cristo.

Gesú annuncia la sua morte e la sua risurrezione

21 (C)Da allora Gesú cominciò a spiegare ai suoi discepoli che doveva andare a *Gerusalemme e soffrire molte cose da parte degli *anziani, dei capi dei *sacerdoti, degli *scribi, ed essere ucciso, e risuscitare il terzo giorno. 22 Pietro, trattolo da parte, cominciò a rimproverarlo, dicendo: «Dio non voglia, Signore! Questo non ti avverrà mai». 23 Ma Gesú, voltatosi, disse a Pietro: «Vattene via da me, Satana! Tu mi sei di scandalo. Tu non hai il senso delle cose di Dio, ma delle cose degli uomini».

Il prezzo del discepolato

24 (D)Allora Gesú disse ai suoi discepoli: «Se uno vuol venire dietro a me, rinunzi a sé stesso, prenda la sua croce e mi segua. 25 Perché chi vorrà salvare la sua vita, la perderà; ma chi avrà perduto la sua vita per amor mio, la troverà. 26 Che gioverà a un uomo se, dopo aver guadagnato tutto il mondo, perde poi l'anima[c] sua? O che darà l'uomo in cambio dell'anima sua? 27 Perché il Figlio dell'uomo verrà nella gloria del Padre suo, con i suoi angeli, e allora renderà a ciascuno secondo l'opera sua. 28 In verità vi dico che alcuni di coloro che sono qui presenti non gusteranno la morte, finché non abbiano visto il Figlio dell'uomo venire nel suo regno».

English Standard Version

The Pharisees and Sadducees Demand Signs

16 (A)And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and (B)to test him (C)they asked him to show them (D)a sign from heaven. 2 He answered them,[a] (E)“When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ (F)You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret (G)the signs of the times. 4 (H)An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So (I)he left them and departed.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees

5 When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6 Jesus said to them, “Watch and (J)beware of (K)the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7 And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.” 8 But (L)Jesus, aware of this, said, (M)“O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? 9 (N)Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember (O)the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 10 Or (P)the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 11 How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? (Q)Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 (R)Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of (S)the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

13 (T)Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say (U)John the Baptist, others say (V)Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, (W)“You are (X)the Christ, (Y)the Son of (Z)the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, (AA)“Blessed are you, (AB)Simon Bar-Jonah! For (AC)flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, (AD)but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, (AE)you are Peter, and (AF)on this rock[b] I will build my church, and (AG)the gates of (AH)hell[c] shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you (AI)the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and (AJ)whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed[d] in heaven.” 20 (AK)Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

21 (AL)From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that (AM)he must go to Jerusalem and (AN)suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on (AO)the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord![e] This shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, (AP)“Get behind me, Satan! You are (AQ)a hindrance[f] to me. For you (AR)are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him (AS)deny himself and (AT)take up his cross and follow me. 25 For (AU)whoever would save his life[g] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For (AV)what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or (AW)what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 (AX)For the Son of Man is going to come with (AY)his angels in the glory of his Father, and (AZ)then he will repay each person according to what he has done. 28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not (BA)taste death (BB)until they see the Son of Man (BC)coming in his kingdom.”

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.”
