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.”

Matthieu 16
Segond 21
16 Les pharisiens et les sadducéens abordèrent Jésus et, pour le mettre à l'épreuve, lui demandèrent de leur faire voir un signe venant du ciel. 2 Jésus leur répondit: «[Le soir, vous dites: ‘Il fera beau, car le ciel est rouge’, et le matin: 3 ‘Il y aura de l'orage aujourd'hui, car le ciel est d'un rouge sombre.’ Hypocrites! Vous savez discerner l'aspect du ciel et vous ne pouvez pas discerner les signes des temps.] 4 Une génération mauvaise et adultère réclame un signe, il ne lui sera pas donné d'autre signe que celui de Jonas [le prophète].» Puis il les quitta et s'en alla.
5 En passant sur l'autre rive, les disciples avaient oublié de prendre des pains. 6 Jésus leur dit: «Attention, méfiez-vous du levain des pharisiens et des sadducéens.» 7 Les disciples raisonnaient en eux-mêmes et disaient: «C'est parce que nous n'avons pas pris de pains.» 8 Jésus, le sachant, leur dit: «Hommes de peu de foi, pourquoi raisonnez-vous en vous-mêmes sur le fait que vous n'avez pas pris de pains? 9 Ne comprenez-vous pas encore et ne vous rappelez-vous plus les cinq pains des 5000 hommes et combien de paniers vous avez emportés, 10 ni les sept pains des 4000 hommes et combien de corbeilles vous avez emportées? 11 Comment ne comprenez-vous pas que ce n'est pas de pains que je vous ai parlé? Méfiez-vous du levain des pharisiens et des sadducéens.» 12 Alors ils comprirent que ce n'était pas du levain du pain qu'il leur avait dit de se méfier, mais de l'enseignement des pharisiens et des sadducéens.
Pierre reconnaît Jésus comme le Messie
13 Jésus arriva dans le territoire de Césarée de Philippe. Il demanda à ses disciples: «Qui suis-je, d’après les hommes, moi le Fils de l'homme?» 14 Ils répondirent: «Les uns disent que tu es Jean-Baptiste; les autres, Elie; les autres, Jérémie ou l'un des prophètes.» 15 «Et d’après vous, qui suis-je?» leur dit-il. 16 Simon Pierre répondit: «Tu es le Messie, le Fils du Dieu vivant.»
17 Jésus reprit la parole et lui dit: «Tu es heureux, Simon, fils de Jonas, car ce n’est pas une pensée humaine qui t’a révélé cela, mais c'est mon Père céleste. 18 Et moi, je te dis que tu es Pierre et que sur ce rocher je construirai mon Eglise, et les portes du séjour des morts ne l'emporteront pas sur elle. 19 Je te donnerai les clés du royaume des cieux: ce que tu lieras sur la terre aura été lié au ciel et ce que tu délieras sur la terre aura été délié au ciel.» 20 Alors il ordonna aux disciples de ne dire à personne qu'il était le Messie.
21 Dès ce moment, Jésus commença à montrer à ses disciples qu'il devait aller à Jérusalem, beaucoup souffrir de la part des anciens, des chefs des prêtres et des spécialistes de la loi, être mis à mort et ressusciter le troisième jour. 22 Alors Pierre le prit à part et se mit à le reprendre en disant: «Que Dieu t'en garde, Seigneur! Cela ne t'arrivera pas.» 23 Mais Jésus se retourna et dit à Pierre: «Arrière, Satan, tu es un piège pour moi, car tes pensées ne sont pas les pensées de Dieu, mais celles des hommes.»
24 Alors Jésus dit à ses disciples: «Si quelqu'un veut être mon disciple, qu'il renonce à lui-même, qu'il se charge de sa croix et qu'il me suive! 25 En effet, celui qui voudra sauver sa vie la perdra, mais celui qui la perdra à cause de moi la retrouvera. 26 Que servira-t-il à un homme de gagner le monde entier, s'il perd son âme? Ou que pourra donner un homme en échange de son âme? 27 En effet, le Fils de l'homme va venir dans la gloire de son Père, avec ses anges, et alors il traitera chacun conformément à sa manière d’agir[a]. 28 Je vous le dis en vérité, quelques-uns de ceux qui sont ici ne mourront pas avant d'avoir vu le Fils de l'homme venir dans son règne.»

The Leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees
16 The Pharisees and Sadducees approached,(A) and tested him, asking him to show them a sign from heaven.(B) 2 He replied, “When evening comes you say, ‘It will be good weather because the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘Today will be stormy because the sky is red and threatening.’ You[a] know how to read the appearance of the sky, but you can’t read the signs of the times.[b] 4 An evil and adulterous generation demands a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of[c] Jonah.”(C) Then he left them and went away.
5 The disciples reached the other shore,[d] and they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus told them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven[e] of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”(D)
7 They were discussing among themselves, “We didn’t bring any bread.”
8 Aware of this, Jesus said, “You of little faith,(E) why are you discussing among yourselves that you do not have bread? 9 Don’t you understand yet? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand and how many baskets you collected? 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand and how many large baskets you collected?(F) 11 Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?”(G) 12 Then they understood that he had not told them to beware of the leaven in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.(H)
Peter’s Confession of the Messiah
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi,[f](I) he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”[g]
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”(J)
15 “But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”(K)
17 Jesus responded, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah,[h](L) because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven.(M) 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church,(N) and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,(O) and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound[i] in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed[j] in heaven.” 20 Then he gave the disciples orders to tell no one that he was[k] the Messiah.(P)
His Death and Resurrection Predicted
21 From(Q) then on Jesus began to point out to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and be raised the third day.(R) 22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, “Oh no,[l] Lord! This will never happen to you!”
23 Jesus turned and told Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns[m] but human concerns.”(S)
Take Up Your Cross
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.(T) 25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will find it.(U) 26 For what will it benefit someone if he gains the whole world yet loses his life? Or what will anyone give in exchange for his life?(V) 27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father,(W) and then he will reward each according to what he has done. 28 Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”(X)
