Matthew 16
New King James Version
The Pharisees and Sadducees Seek a Sign(A)
16 Then the (B)Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; 3 and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ [a]Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. 4 (C)A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of [b]the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.
The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees(D)
5 Now (E)when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said to them, (F)“Take heed and beware of the [c]leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have taken no bread.”
8 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you [d]have brought no bread? 9 (G)Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up? 10 (H)Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up? 11 How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?—but to beware of the [e]leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the [f]doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ(I)
13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, (J)“Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
14 So they said, (K)“Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or (L)one of the prophets.”
15 He said to them, “But who do (M)you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered and said, (N)“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, (O)for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but (P)My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that (Q)you are Peter, and (R)on this rock I will build My church, and (S)the gates of Hades shall not [g]prevail against it. 19 (T)And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth [h]will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
20 (U)Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection(V)
21 From that time Jesus began (W)to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
22 Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, [i]“Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!”
23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, (X)Satan! (Y)You are [j]an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”
Take Up the Cross and Follow Him(Z)
24 (AA)Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and (AB)follow Me. 25 For (AC)whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what (AD)profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or (AE)what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For (AF)the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father (AG)with His angels, (AH)and then He will reward each according to his works. 28 Assuredly, I say to you, (AI)there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

16 ¶ Farizyen yo ak sadiseyen yo pwoche bò kot Jezi. Yo te vle pran l' nan pèlen. Yo mande l' pou l' fè yon mirak ki pou moutre se Bondye ki ba l' tout pouvwa sa a.
2 Jezi reponn yo: Lè solèy la pral kouche, nou di: Gade jan syèl la wouj, tan an pral bèl. Nan granmaten nou di: Jòdi a l'ap fè lapli. Gade jan syèl la kouvri, li tou wouj.
3 Nou konn ki sans pou nou bay bagay k'ap pase nan syèl la. Poukisa, atò, nou pa konn ki sans pou nou bay bagay k'ap pase sou latè koulye a?
4 Moun alèkile yo, atout yo mechan, atout yo vire do bay Bondye, men y'ap mande mirak! Men tou, yo p'ap jwenn lòt mirak pase mirak Jonas la. Apre sa, li vire do l', li al fè wout li.
5 ¶ Lè disip yo janbe lòt bò lanmè a, yo te bliye pote pen.
6 Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: Fè atansyon, pran prekosyon nou avèk ledven farizyen yo ansanm ak ledven sadiseyen yo.
7 Disip yo yonn t'ap di lòt: Se paske nou pa pote pen kifè l'ap di sa.
8 Jezi vin konnen sa yo t'ap di konsa. Li mande yo: Poukisa nou yonn ap di lòt se paske nou pa pote pen kifè m'ap di sa? Ala nou manke konfyans nan Bondye!
9 Nou poko ka konprann toujou! Se bliye nou gen tan bliye lè m' te separe senk pen bay senkmil (5.000) moun lan? Nou pa chonje konbe panyen nou te pote ale?
10 Se bliye nou gen tan bliye lè m' te separe sèt pen bay katmil (4.000) moun lan? Nou pa chonje konbe panyen nou te pote ale apre sa?
11 Ki jan nou fè konprann se sou pen mwen t'ap pale nou, lè mwen di nou: pran prekosyon nou ak ledven farizyen yo ansanm ak ledven sadiseyen yo?
12 Se lè sa a disip yo konprann li pa t' di yo pran prekosyon ak ledven yo fè pen, men ak tout bagay farizyen yo ak sadiseyen yo t'ap moutre moun.
13 ¶ Apre sa, Jezi ale nan rejyon ki toupre lavil Sezare Filip la. Li mande disip li yo: Ki moun yo di mwen ye, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a?
14 Yo reponn li: Gen moun ki di se Jan Batis ou ye. Gen lòt ki di ou se Eli. Gen lòt ankò ki di ou se Jeremi osinon yonn nan pwofèt yo.
15 Li di yo: Bon, nou menm, ki moun nou di mwen ye?
16 Simon Pyè reponn: Ou se Kris la, Pitit Bondye vivan an.
17 Lè sa a, Jezi di li: Ou wè ou menm, Simon, pitit Jan an, ou se yon nonm Bondye beni. Paske, se pa moun ki fè ou konn verite sa a. Men, se Papa m' ki nan syèl la ki fè sa pou ou.
18 Mwen menm, men sa m'ap di ou: Ou se yon wòch, Pyè. Se sou wòch sa a m'ap bati legliz mwen. Ata lanmò p'ap kapab fè l' anyen.
19 M'ap ba ou kle Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la. Tou sa ou va defann moun fè sou latè, yo p'ap kapab fè l' nan syèl la non plis. Tou sa ou va pèmèt moun fè sou latè, y'a kapab fè l' nan syèl la tou.
20 Apre sa, li bay disip li yo lòd pou yo pa di pesonn se Kris la li ye.
21 ¶ Depi lè sa a, Jezi kòmanse pale aklè ak disip li yo, li di: Fòk mwen moute lavil Jerizalèm. Fòk mwen soufri anpil nan men chèf fanmi yo, nan men chèf prèt yo, nan men dirèktè lalwa yo. Y'ap fè yo touye mwen. Men, sou twa jou, mwen gen pou m' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
22 Lè sa a, Pyè rele Jezi sou kote, li di l' konsa: Mande Bondye padon, Mèt! Sa p'ap rive ou.
23 Men, Jezi vire tèt li, li di Pyè konsa: Wete kò ou sou mwen, Satan. W'ap chache fè m' tonbe. Lide ou pa sou sa Bondye vle, men sou sa lèzòm ta vle.
24 ¶ Apre sa, Jezi di disip li yo: Si yon moun vle mache dèyè m', se pou li bliye tèt li. Se pou l' chaje kwa l' sou zepòl li, epi swiv mwen.
25 Paske, moun ki ta vle sove lavi l' va pèdi li. Men, moun ki va pèdi lavi l' poutèt mwen, li va jwenn li ankò.
26 Kisa sa ta sèvi yon moun pou l' ta genyen lemonn antye si l' pèdi lavi li? Kisa yon moun kapab bay pou l' gen lavi?
27 Konprann sa byen, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a gen pou l' tounen ak zanj li yo, nan tout bèl pouvwa Papa l' la. Lè sa a, li va bay chak moun sa yo merite dapre sa yo fè.
28 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Nan moun ki la koulye a, gen ladan yo ki p'ap gen tan mouri san yo pa wè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a tounen tankou yon wa k'ap gouvènen.

求神蹟
16 有幾個法利賽人和撒都該人來試探耶穌，要求祂顯個天上的神蹟給他們看。
2 耶穌回答說：「傍晚的時候，你們看見天邊出現紅霞，就說明天一定是晴天； 3 早晨的時候，你們看見天色又紅又暗，就說今天必有風雨。你們懂得分辨天色，卻不能分辨時代的徵兆。 4 一個邪惡淫亂的世代想看神蹟，可是除了約拿的神蹟以外，再沒有神蹟給他們看。」於是耶穌離開他們走了。
防備法利賽人和撒都該人的酵
5 門徒渡到湖對岸，忘記帶餅了。 6 耶穌對他們說：「你們要小心提防法利賽人和撒都該人的酵。」
7 門徒彼此議論說：「這是因為我們沒有帶餅吧。」
8 耶穌知道他們的心思，就說：「你們的信心太小了！為什麼議論沒有帶餅的事呢？ 9 你們還不明白嗎？你們不記得那五個餅讓五千人吃飽，又裝滿多少籃子嗎？ 10 也不記得那七個餅給四千人吃飽，又裝滿多少筐子嗎？ 11 我說你們要提防法利賽人和撒都該人的酵，指的不是餅，你們怎麼不明白呢？」
12 門徒這才恍然大悟，知道耶穌不是叫他們當心什麼麵酵，而是要提防法利賽人和撒都該人的教導。
彼得宣告耶穌是基督
13 到了凱撒利亞·腓立比境內，耶穌問門徒：「人們說人子是誰？」
14 門徒回答說：「有人說是施洗者約翰，有人說是以利亞，也有人說是耶利米，或其他某位先知。」
15 耶穌問：「那麼，你們說我是誰？」
16 西門·彼得回答說：「你是基督，是永活上帝的兒子！」
17 耶穌對他說：「約拿的兒子西門啊，你是有福的！因為這件事不是屬血肉的人告訴你的，而是我天上的父啟示你的。 18 我告訴你，你是彼得[a]，我要在這磐石上建立我的教會，陰間的勢力[b]不能勝過它。 19 我要把天國的鑰匙交給你。凡你在地上捆綁的，在天上也要捆綁；凡你在地上釋放的，在天上也要釋放。」
20 當下，耶穌叮囑門徒不可告訴別人祂就是基督。
耶穌預言自己的受害和復活
21 從此以後，耶穌開始清楚地指示門徒，祂必須去耶路撒冷，受長老、祭司長和律法教師許多的迫害，並且被處死，但第三天必從死裡復活。 22 彼得把耶穌拉到一邊，勸阻祂說：「主啊，千萬不可！這件事絕不會發生在你身上！」
23 耶穌立刻轉過身來責備彼得說：「撒旦，退到我後面去！你是我的絆腳石，因為你不考慮上帝的意思，只考慮人的意思。」
24 於是耶穌對門徒說：「如果有人要跟從我，就應當捨己，背起他的十字架跟從我。 25 因為想救自己生命的，必失去生命；但為了我而失去生命的，必得到生命。 26 人若賺得全世界，卻喪失自己的生命，又有什麼益處呢？人還能拿什麼換回自己的生命呢？
27 「因為人子要在祂父的榮耀裡與眾天使一起降臨，那時，祂將按照各人的行為報應各人。 28 我實在告訴你們，有些站在這裡的人會在有生之年看見人子降臨在祂的國度裡。」

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.”
