Matthew 16
New Matthew Bible
The Pharisees seek a sign. Jesus warns his disciples of the Pharisees’ doctrine. Peter’s confession. The keys of heaven. The faithful must bear their cross after Christ.
16 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tempted Jesus, asking him to show them some sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said to them, At evening you say the weather will be fair, and that because the sky is red; 3 and in the morning you say it will be bad weather today, and that because the sky is cloudy and red. O ye hypocrites, you can discern the aspect of the sky, and can you not discern the signs of the times? 4 The froward and adulterous nation seeks a sign, but no other sign shall be given to them than the sign of the prophet Jonah.
So he left them, and departed.
5 And when his disciples had come to the other side of the water, they had forgotten to take bread with them. 6 Then Jesus said to them, Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7 And they thought in themselves, saying, It is because we have brought no bread with us.
8 When Jesus understood this, he said to them, O ye of little faith, why are your minds cumbered because you have brought no bread? 9 Do you not yet perceive? Nor remember those five loaves when there were 5,000 men, and how many baskets you took up? 10 Nor the seven loaves when there were 4,000, and how many baskets you took up? 11 Why do you not perceive then that I was not speaking to you about bread when I said to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 When Jesus arrived in the vicinity of the city which is called Caesarea Phillippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am? 14 They said, Some say you are John the Baptist, some Elijah, some Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 15 He said to them, But who do you say that I am? 16 Simon Peter answered and said, You are Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed that to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I say also to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my congregation. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatever you bind upon earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then he charged his disciples to tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time on, Jesus began to explain to his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, and from the high priests and from the scribes, and must be killed, and rise up again the third day. 22 But Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, Master, spare yourself! This should not happen to you. 23 Then Jesus turned about and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan! You offend me, because you savour not the things of God, but things of the world.
24 Jesus then said to his disciples, If any person would follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whosoever would save his life, will lose it. And whosoever loses his life for my sake, will find it. 26 What will it profit a man, though he should win all the whole world, if he loses his own soul? Or, what can a man give to redeem his soul? 27 For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then shall he reward every person according to his deeds.
28 Truly I say to you, some there are among them that stand here who shall not taste of death till they have seen the Son of man come in his kingdom.
马太福音 16
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
求耶稣显神迹(A)
16 法利赛人和撒都该人前来试探耶稣,求他显个从天上来的神迹给他们看。 2 耶稣回答:“黄昏的时候,你们说:‘天色通红,明天一定是晴天。’ 3 早上的时候,你们说:‘天色又红又暗,今天一定有风雨。’你们知道分辨天色,却不能分辨时代的征兆吗? 4 邪恶和淫乱的世代要寻求神迹,除了约拿的神迹之外,不会有甚么神迹给它了。”耶稣就离开他们走了。
提防法利赛人等的教训(B)
5 门徒到了对岸,忘记了带饼。 6 耶稣对他们说:“你们要小心,提防法利赛人和撒都该人的酵。” 7 他们就彼此议论说:“这是因为我们没有带饼吧。” 8 耶稣知道了,就说:“小信的人,为甚么议论没有饼这件事呢? 9 你们还不明白吗?你们是不是忘记了那五个饼分给五千人,又装满了多少个篮子呢? 10 还是忘记了那七个饼分给四千人,又装满了多少个大篮子呢? 11 我对你们讲的不是饼的事,你们为甚么不明白?你们要提防法利赛人和撒都该人的酵。” 12 这时他们才领会耶稣说的不是要提防饼酵,而是要提防法利赛人和撒都该人的教训。
彼得承认耶稣是基督(C)
13 耶稣来到该撒利亚.腓立比的地区,就问自己的门徒:“人说人子是谁?” 14 他们回答:“有人说是施洗的约翰,有人说是以利亚,也有人说是耶利米,或是先知里的一位。” 15 他问他们:“你们说我是谁?” 16 西门.彼得回答:“你是基督,是永生 神的儿子。” 17 耶稣对他说:“约拿的儿子西门,你是有福的,因为这不是人(“人”原文作“肉和血”)指示你的,而是我在天上的父启示你的。 18 我告诉你,你是彼得,我要在这盘石上建立我的教会,死亡的权势(“死亡的权势”原文作“阴间的门”)不能胜过他。 19 我要把天国的钥匙给你,你在地上捆绑的,在天上也被捆绑;你在地上释放的,在天上也被释放。” 20 于是耶稣吩咐门徒不可对人说他就是基督。
耶稣预言受难及复活(D)
21 从那时起,耶稣开始向门徒指出,他必须往耶路撒冷去,受长老、祭司长和经学家许多的苦害,并且被杀,第三天复活。 22 彼得就把他拉到一边,责怪他说:“主啊,千万不可这样,这事一定不会发生在你身上的。” 23 耶稣转过来对彼得说:“撒但!退到我后面去!你是绊脚石,因为你不思念 神的事,只思念人的事。” 24 于是耶稣对门徒说:“如果有人愿意跟从我,就当舍己,背起他的十字架来跟从我。 25 凡是想救自己生命的,必丧掉生命;但为我牺牲生命的,必得着生命。 26 人若赚得全世界,却赔上自己的生命,有甚么好处呢?人还能用甚么换回自己的生命呢? 27 人子要在父的荣耀里和众天使一同降临,那时他要照各人的行为报应各人。 28 我实在告诉你们,站在这里的,有人在没有尝过死味以前,必要看见人子带着他的国降临。”
Matthew 16
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.”

Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
De religiøse ledere nægter at tro på Jesus som Messias(A)
16 Farisæerne og saddukæerne opsøgte nu Jesus for at stille ham på prøve. De bad ham om at gøre et mirakel som tegn på, at han virkelig var kommet fra Gud. 2 Jesus svarede: „Om aftenen siger I: ‚Det bliver fint vejr i morgen, for himlen er rød.’ 3 Og om morgenen siger I: ‚Det bliver stormvejr i dag, for himlen er både rød og mørk.’ Hvordan vejret bliver, kan I aflæse på himlen—men tidens tegn kan I ikke tyde! 4 Visse mennesker er onde og vantro. De forlanger tegn og undere, før de vil tro. Men de får ikke andet tegn end Jonastegnet.” Så vendte Jesus dem ryggen og sejlede ud på søen igen sammen med sine disciple.
Advarsel mod at følge de religiøse lederes eksempel(B)
5 Da de var landet på den anden side af søen, kom disciplene i tanke om, at de havde glemt at tage brød med.
6 „Vær på vagt over for den surdej, der kommer fra farisæerne og saddukæerne,” sagde Jesus. 7 Disciplene snakkede sammen om, at det nok var, fordi de havde glemt at tage brød med.
8 Jesus var godt klar over, hvad de hviskede sammen om. „Hvor er jeres tro dog lille!” sagde han. „Hvorfor snakker I om, at I ikke har brød med? 9 Har I stadig ingenting forstået? Har I helt glemt de 5000 mennesker, som jeg bespiste med fem brød? Og alle de kurve fulde af brødrester, der blev tilovers? 10 Eller de syv brød til de 4000 og alle de kurve med mad, der blev tilovers? 11 Hvordan kan I så tro, at jeg tænker på, om vi har brød nok? Nej, I skal være på vagt over for farisæernes og saddukæernes surdej.” 12 Så gik det op for dem, at det ikke var den bogstavelige surdej, han advarede dem imod, men farisæernes og saddukæernes lære.
Peters åbenbaring om Jesus som Messias(C)
13 Jesus og disciplene gik nu nordpå til det distrikt, hvor byen Cæsarea Filippi ligger. Så spurgte han dem: „Hvem siger folk, at Menneskesønnen er?”
14 „Nogle siger, at du er Johannes Døber, der er kommet tilbage fra de døde,” svarede de. „Andre siger, at du er Elias eller Jeremias eller en anden af profeterne, der er genopstået.”
15 „Og hvad siger I? Hvem tror I, at jeg er?”
16 Simon Peter svarede: „Du er Messias, Guds egen Søn!”
17 „Simon, Jonas’ søn, du er en velsignet mand,” sagde Jesus, „for det har du ikke fra mennesker, men min Far i Himlen har åbenbaret det for dig! 18 Derfor siger jeg til dig: Du skal hedde Peter,[a] og på den klippegrund vil jeg bygge min menighed. Djævelen[b] vil aldrig kunne få magten over den. 19 Jeg vil give dig autoritet i Guds rige. Det, du sætter en stopper for på jorden, er der sat en stopper for i Himlen, og det, du åbner op for på jorden, er der åbnet op for i Himlen.”[c]
20 Derefter advarede han disciplene imod at fortælle nogen, at han var Messias.[d]
Messias som den lidende Frelser(D)
21 Fra da af begyndte Jesus at sige lige ud til sine disciple, at han var nødt til at tage til Jerusalem, at ypperstepræsterne, de skriftlærde og de øvrige jødiske ledere ville udsætte ham for store lidelser, når han kom derhen, at han ville blive slået ihjel, og at han på den tredje dag[e] ville blive oprejst fra de døde.
22 Da trak Peter ham til side og prøvede at tale ham fra det. „Gud vil beskytte dig, Herre,” sagde han. „Det vil aldrig ske for dig.”
23 Men Jesus vendte ryggen til ham og sagde: „Gå væk fra mig, Satan! Du frister mig! Du forstår ikke, hvad der er Guds vilje, men ser det kun fra et menneskeligt synspunkt.”
Det koster dyrt at følge Guds vilje(E)
24 Så sagde Jesus til dem, som fulgte ham: „De, der ønsker at være mine disciple, skal lægge alt deres eget til side og følge mig, også selv om det koster livet.[f] 25 De, der klamrer sig til det jordiske liv, vil miste det himmelske. Men de, der sætter livet til for min skyld, vil få det evige liv. 26 Hvad gavner det et menneske at vinde hele verden, hvis sjælen går fortabt? Findes der noget, der er mere værd end et menneskes sjæl? 27 En dag vil Menneskesønnen komme i sin Fars herlighed sammen med sine engle, og da vil han dømme ethvert menneske efter dets handlinger.”
28 Jesus fortsatte: „Det siger jeg jer: Nogle af jer, der står her, skal ikke dø, før I har set Menneskesønnen komme med sit herredømme!”
Footnotes
- 16,18 På græsk er der et ordspil mellem navnet Petros og ordet for klippegrund, som er petra. Det var almindeligt at bygge en fæstning på toppen af en klippe, og en sådan fæstning var nærmest uindtagelig. Jesus tænker specielt på billedet med at bygge sit liv på klippegrund, dvs. at høre Guds stemme og handle derefter, jf. Matt. 7,15-27 og noten til 7,25.
- 16,18 Teksten siger ordret „dødsrigets porte”. Datidens byråd samledes i byporten til rådslagning og planlægning. Dødsriget hentyder her sikkert til Djævelen og hans dæmoner. På trods af alle Djævelens snigløb og onde anslag, vil han ikke kunne besejre den sande Guds menighed, som er bygget på Abrahams klippegrund, der betegner lydighed og tro.
- 16,19 Mere ordret står der: „Hvad du binder på jorden, vil være blevet bundet i Himlen, og hvad du løser på jorden, vil være blevet løst i Himlen.” Ordene „binde” og „løse” finder vi i den hebraiske tekst i Es. 22,22. At „løse” betyder på hebraisk at give tilladelse til eller give frihed til at gøre. At „binde” er det modsatte, nemlig at forbyde noget eller sætte en stopper for noget. For eksempel kan en mor sige til sit barn: „Køleskabet er bundet” i betydningen: „Du har ikke lov til at åbne det eller tage noget fra det.” Siger man „køleskabet er løst” betyder det tilsvarende, at der er fri adgang. Ordene blev ofte brugt, når rabbinerne skulle afgøre, om noget var tilladt eller forbudt ifølge Toraen. Der er altså tale om autoritative beslutninger i den nye menighed. ApG. 15 har et kendt eksempel på den slags beslutninger.
- 16,20 Det skyldtes nok, at folk havde de forkerte, politiske forventninger knyttet til navnet Messias, og Jesus ønskede ikke at blive tvunget til at være nogen politisk frelser. Efter at Jesus var død og genopstået, skulle disciplene netop forkynde Jesus som Messias, men i den åndelige betydning.
- 16,21 Selv om det ville være mere klart på dansk at oversætte „på den tredje dag” med „to dage efter”, har vi valgt at fastholde „den tredje dag”. Hvis fredag er den første dag, vil søndag være den tredje dag.
- 16,24 Mere ordret: „tage sit kors op.” Se noten til Matt. 10,38.
