Matthew 16
New Century Version
The Leaders Ask for a Miracle
16 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus, wanting to trick him. So they asked him to show them a miracle from God.
2 Jesus answered,[a] “At sunset 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, because the sky is dark and red. You see these signs in the sky and know what they mean. In the same way, you see the things that I am doing now, but you don’t know their meaning. 4 Evil and sinful people ask for a miracle as a sign, but they will not be given any sign, except the sign of Jonah.”[b] Then Jesus left them and went away.
Guard Against Wrong Teachings
5 Jesus’ followers went across the lake, but they had forgotten to bring bread. 6 Jesus said to them, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
7 His followers 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 about not having bread? Your faith is small. 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 baskets you filled then also? 11 I was not talking to you about bread. Why don’t you understand that? I am telling you to beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” 12 Then the followers understood that Jesus was not telling them to beware of the yeast used in bread but to beware of the teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
Peter Says Jesus Is the Christ
13 When Jesus came to the area of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his followers, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14 They answered, “Some say you are John the Baptist. Others say you are Elijah, and still others say you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 Then Jesus asked them, “And who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus answered, “You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah, because no person taught you that. My Father in heaven showed you who I am. 18 So I tell you, you are Peter.[c] On this rock I will build my church, and the power of death will not be able to defeat it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; the things you don’t allow on earth will be the things that God does not allow, and the things you allow on earth will be the things that God allows.” 20 Then Jesus warned his followers not to tell anyone he was the Christ.
Jesus Says that He Must Die
21 From that time on Jesus began telling his followers that he must go to Jerusalem, where the Jewish elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of the law would make him suffer many things. 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. He said, “God save you from those things, Lord! Those things will never happen to you!”
23 Then Jesus said to Peter, “Go away from me, Satan![d] You are not helping me! You don’t care about the things of God, but only about the things people think are important.”
24 Then Jesus said to his followers, “If people want to follow me, they must give up the things they want. They must be willing even to give up their lives to follow me. 25 Those who want to save their lives will give up true life, and those who give up their lives for me will have true life. 26 It is worthless to have the whole world if they lose their souls. They could never pay enough to buy back their souls. 27 The Son of Man will come again with his Father’s glory and with his angels. At that time, he will reward them for what they have done. 28 I tell you the truth, some people standing here will see the Son of Man coming with his kingdom before they die.”

Matthew 16
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.
Mateo 16
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Humingi ng Himala ang mga Pariseo at Saduceo(A)
16 May mga Pariseo at Saduceo na lumapit kay Jesus para subukin siya. Hiniling nilang magpakita siya ng himala mula sa Dios[a] bilang patunay na sugo siya ng Dios. 2 Pero sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Kapag palubog na ang araw at mapula ang langit, sinasabi ninyo, ‘Magiging maayos ang panahon bukas.’ 3 At kapag umaga at makulimlim ang langit, sinasabi ninyo, ‘Uulan ngayon.’ Alam ninyo ang kahulugan ng mga palatandaang nakikita ninyo sa langit, pero bakit hindi ninyo alam ang kahulugan ng mga nangyayari ngayon? 4 Kayong henerasyon ng masasama at hindi tapat sa Dios! Humihingi kayo ng himala, pero walang ipapakita sa inyo maliban sa himalang katulad ng nangyari kay Jonas.” Pagkatapos, umalis si Jesus.
Ang Babala ni Jesus tungkol sa Turo ng mga Pariseo at mga Saduceo(B)
5 Tumawid ng lawa si Jesus at ang mga tagasunod niya, pero nakalimutan ng mga tagasunod na magbaon ng pagkain. 6 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Mag-ingat kayo sa pampaalsa[b] ng mga Pariseo at mga Saduceo.” 7 Nag-usap-usap ang mga tagasunod ni Jesus. Akala nila, kaya niya sinabi iyon ay dahil wala silang dalang tinapay. 8 Pero alam ni Jesus ang pinag-uusapan nila, kaya sinabi niya, “Bakit ninyo pinag-uusapan ang hindi ninyo pagdadala ng tinapay? Kay liit ng pananampalataya ninyo! 9 Hindi pa ba kayo nakakaunawa? Nakalimutan na ba ninyo ang ginawa ko sa limang tinapay para mapakain ang 5,000 tao? Hindi ba ninyo naalala kung ilang basket ang napuno ninyo ng mga natirang pagkain? 10 Nakalimutan na rin ba ninyo ang ginawa ko sa pitong tinapay para mapakain ang 4,000 tao, at kung ilang basket ang napuno ninyo ng mga natirang pagkain? 11 Hindi ba ninyo naiintindihan na hindi tinapay ang tinutukoy ko nang sabihin kong, ‘Mag-ingat kayo sa pampaalsa ng mga Pariseo at Saduceo?’ ” 12 At saka lang nila naintindihan na hindi pala sila pinag-iingat sa pampaalsa kundi sa mga aral ng mga Pariseo at Saduceo.
Ang Pahayag ni Pedro Tungkol kay Jesus(C)
13 Nang makarating si Jesus sa lupain ng Cesarea Filipos, tinanong niya ang kanyang mga tagasunod, “Ano ang sinasabi ng mga tao tungkol sa akin na Anak ng Tao?” 14 Sumagot sila, “May mga nagsasabing kayo po si Juan na tagapagbautismo. May nagsasabi ring kayo si Elias. At ang iba namaʼy nagsasabing kayo si Jeremias o isa sa mga propeta.” 15 Tinanong sila ni Jesus, “Pero sa inyo, sino ako?” 16 Sumagot si Simon Pedro, “Kayo po ang Cristo, ang Anak ng Dios na buhay.” 17 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Pinagpala ka ng Dios, Simon na anak ni Jonas. Sapagkat hindi tao ang nagpahayag sa iyo ng bagay na ito kundi ang aking Amang nasa langit. 18 At ngayon sinasabi ko sa iyo na ikaw si Pedro,[c] at sa batong ito, itatayo ko ang aking iglesya,[d] at hindi ito malulupig kahit ng kapangyarihan ng kamatayan.[e] 19 Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang kapangyarihan[f] sa kaharian ng Dios.[g] Anuman ang ipagbawal mo sa lupa ay ipagbabawal din sa langit, at anuman ang ipahintulot mo sa lupa ay ipapahintulot din sa langit.” 20 Pagkatapos nito, sinabihan ni Jesus ang mga tagasunod niya na huwag nilang ipaalam kahit kanino na siya ang Cristo.
Ang Unang Pagpapahayag ni Jesus tungkol sa Kanyang Kamatayan(D)
21 Mula noon, ipinaalam na ni Jesus sa mga tagasunod niya na dapat siyang pumunta sa Jerusalem at dumanas ng maraming paghihirap sa kamay ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio, ng mga namamahalang pari at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. At siyaʼy ipapapatay nila, pero sa ikatlong araw ay muli siyang mabubuhay. 22 Nang marinig ito ni Pedro, dinala niya si Jesus sa isang tabi at sinabihan, “Panginoon, huwag po sanang ipahintulot ng Dios. Hindi ito dapat mangyari sa inyo.” 23 Hinarap ni Jesus si Pedro at sinabi, “Lumayo ka sa akin, Satanas! Pinipigilan mo akong gawin ang kalooban ng Dios, dahil hindi ayon sa kalooban ng Dios ang iniisip mo kundi ayon sa kalooban ng tao!”
24 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jesus sa mga tagasunod niya, “Ang sinumang gustong sumunod sa akin ay hindi dapat inuuna ang sarili. At dapat handa siyang humarap kahit sa kamatayan[h] alang-alang sa pagsunod niya sa akin. 25 Sapagkat ang taong naghahangad magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito. Ngunit ang taong nagnanais mag-alay ng kanyang buhay alang-alang sa akin ay magkakaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. 26 Ano ba ang mapapala ng tao kung mapasakanya man ang lahat ng bagay sa mundo, pero mapapahamak naman ang kanyang buhay? May maibabayad ba siya para mabawi niya ang kanyang buhay? 27 Sapagkat ako na Anak ng Tao ay darating kasama ang mga anghel, at taglay ang kapangyarihan ng Ama. Sa araw na iyon, gagantimpalaan ko ang bawat isa ayon sa kanyang mga gawa. 28 Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, may ilan sa inyo rito na hindi mamamatay hanggaʼt hindi nila nakikita ang Anak ng Tao na dumarating bilang Hari.”
