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.”

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.”

Mateo 16
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)

16 At nagsilapit ang mga Fariseo at mga Saduceo, na tinutukso siya na sa kaniya'y nagsisihiling na sila'y pagpakitaan ng isang tanda na mula sa langit.

2 Datapuwa't siya'y sumagot at sa kanila'y sinabi, Sa kinahapunan, ay sinasabi ninyo, Bubuti ang panahon: sapagka't ang langit ay mapula.

3 At sa umaga, Ngayo'y uunos: sapagka't mapula at makulimlim ang langit. Kayo'y marurunong magsikilala ng anyo ng langit; datapuwa't hindi ninyo mangakilala ang mga tanda ng mga panahon.

4 Ang isang lahing masama at mapangalunya ay humahanap ng tanda; at hindi siya bibigyan ng anomang tanda, kundi ng tanda ni Jonas. At sila'y iniwan niya, at yumaon.

5 At nagsidating ang mga alagad sa kabilang ibayo at nangakalimot na mangagdala ng tinapay.

6 At sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Kayo'y mangagingat at magsipangilag sa lebadura ng mga Fariseo at mga Saduceo.

7 At sila'y nangagkatuwiranan sa kanilang sarili, na nagsasabi, Hindi tayo nangakapagbaon ng tinapay.

8 At nang matalastas ni Jesus ay sinabi, Oh kayong kakaunti ang pananampalataya, bakit kayo'y nangagbubulaybulay sa inyong sarili, sapagka't wala kayong tinapay?

9 Hindi pa baga ninyo natatalastas, at hindi ninyo naaalaala ang limang tinapay sa limang libong lalake, at kung ilang bakol ang inyong nailigpit?

10 Ni yaong pitong tinapay sa apat na libong lalake, at kung ilang bakol ang inyong nailigpit?

11 Ano't hindi ninyo napaguunawa na hindi ang sinabi ko sa inyo'y tungkol sa tinapay? Datapuwa't kayo'y mangagingat sa lebadura ng mga Fariseo at ng mga Saduceo.

12 Nang magkagayo'y kanilang natalastas na sa kanila'y hindi ipinagutos na sila'y magsipagingat sa lebadura ng tinapay, kundi sa mga aral ng mga Fariseo at ng mga Saduceo.

13 Nang dumating nga si Jesus sa mga sakop ng Cesarea ni Filipo, ay itinanong niya sa kaniyang mga alagad, na sinasabi, Ano baga ang sabi ng mga tao kung sino ang Anak ng tao?

14 At kanilang sinabi, Anang ilan, Si Juan Bautista; ang ilan, Si Elias; at ang mga iba, Si Jeremias, o isa sa mga propeta.

15 Kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Datapuwa't, ano ang sabi ninyo kung sino ako?

16 At sumagot si Simon Pedro at sinabi, Ikaw ang Cristo, Ang anak ng Dios na buhay.

17 At sumagot si Jesus at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Mapalad ka, Simon Bar-Jonas: sapagka't hindi ipinahayag sa iyo ito ng laman at ng dugo, kundi ng aking Ama na nasa langit.

18 At sinasabi ko naman sa iyo, na ikaw ay Pedro, at sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay itatayo ko ang aking iglesia; at ang mga pintuan ng Hades ay hindi magsisipanaig laban sa kaniya.

19 Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang mga susi ng kaharian ng langit: at anomang iyong talian sa lupa ay tatalian sa langit; at anomang iyong kalagan sa lupa ay kakalagan sa langit.

20 Nang magkagayo'y ipinagbilin niya sa mga alagad na huwag sabihin kanino man na siya ang Cristo.

21 Mula ng panahong yao'y nagpasimulang ipinakilala ni Jesus sa kaniyang mga alagad, na kinakailangang siya'y pumaroon sa Jerusalem, at magbata ng maraming bagay sa matatanda at sa mga pangulong saserdote at sa mga eskriba, at siya'y patayin, at muling ibangon sa ikatlong araw.

22 At isinama siya ni Pedro, at nagpasimulang siya'y pinagwikaan, na nagsasabi, Panginoon, malayo ito sa iyo: kailan man ay hindi mangyayari ito sa iyo.

23 Datapuwa't lumingon siya, at sinabi kay Pedro, Lumagay ka sa likuran ko, Satanas: ikaw ay tisod sa akin: sapagka't hindi mo pinagiisip ang mga bagay ng Dios, kundi ang mga bagay ng tao.

24 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniyang mga alagad, Kung ang sinomang tao'y ibig sumunod sa akin ay tumanggi sa kaniyang sarili, at pasanin ang kaniyang krus, at sumunod sa akin.

25 Sapagka't ang sinomang magibig iligtas ang kaniyang buhay ay mawawalan nito: at ang sinomang mawalan ng kaniyang buhay dahil sa akin ay makakasumpong niyaon.

26 Sapagka't ano ang pakikinabangin ng tao, kung makamtan niya ang buong sanglibutan at mawawalan siya ng kaniyang buhay? o ano ang ibibigay ng tao na katumbas sa kaniyang buhay?

27 Sapagka't ang Anak ng tao ay pariritong nasa kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang Ama na kasama ang kaniyang mga anghel; at kung magkagayo'y bibigyan ang bawa't tao ayon sa kaniyang mga gawa.

28 Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, May ilan sa nangakatayo rito, na hindi matitikman sa anomang paraan ang kamatayan, hanggang sa kanilang makita ang Anak ng tao na pumaparito sa kaniyang kaharian.

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)
