The Pharisees and Sadducees Test Jesus
16 (A)And the (B)Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him, they (C)asked Him to show them [a]a sign from heaven. 2 But He replied to them, “[b](D)When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ (E)Do you know how to discern the [c]appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? 4 (F)An evil and adulterous generation eagerly seeks for [d]a sign; and [e]a sign will not be given it, except the [f]sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.
5 And coming to the other side of the sea, the disciples had forgotten to bring bread. 6 And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and (G)beware of the [g]leaven of the (H)Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7 Now they began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “He said that because we did not bring bread.” 8 But Jesus, aware of this, said, “(I)You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread? 9 Do you not yet understand or remember (J)the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets full you picked up? 10 Or (K)the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large baskets full you picked up? 11 How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But (L)beware of the [h]leaven of the (M)Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the (N)Pharisees and Sadducees.
Peter Confesses Jesus Is the Christ
13 (O)Now when Jesus came into the district of (P)Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, saying, “Who do people say that (Q)the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say (R)John the Baptist; and others, [i](S)Elijah; but still others, [j]Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15 He *said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, “You are [k](T)the Christ, (U)the Son of (V)the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, (W)Simon [l]Bar-Jonah, because (X)flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are [m](Y)Peter, and upon this [n]rock I will build My church; and the gates of (Z)Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you (AA)the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and (AB)whatever you bind on earth [o]shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth [p]shall have been loosed in heaven.” 20 (AC)Then He [q]warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the [r](AD)Christ.
Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
21 (AE)From that time [s]Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and (AF)suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. 22 And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “[t]God forbid it, Lord! This shall never [u]happen to You.” 23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, (AG)Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on [v]God’s interests, but man’s.”
Take Up Your Cross
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and (AH)take up his cross and follow Me. 25 For (AI)whoever wishes to save his [w]life will lose it; but whoever loses his [x]life for My sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the (AJ)Son of Man (AK)is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and (AL)will then [y]repay each one according to his [z]deeds.
28 “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the (AM)Son of Man (AN)coming in His kingdom.”

Piden a Jesús una señal(A)
16 Los fariseos y los saduceos se acercaron a Jesús y, para ponerlo a prueba, pidieron que mostrara una señal del cielo.
2 Él contestó:[a] «Al atardecer, ustedes dicen que hará buen tiempo porque el cielo está rojizo 3 y por la mañana, que habrá tempestad porque el cielo está rojo y nublado. Ustedes saben discernir el aspecto del cielo, pero no las señales de los tiempos. 4 ¡Esta generación malvada y adúltera pide una señal milagrosa! Pero no se le dará más señal que la de Jonás». Entonces Jesús los dejó y se fue.
La levadura de los fariseos y de los saduceos
5 Cruzaron el lago, pero a los discípulos se les había olvidado llevar pan.
6 —Presten atención —advirtió Jesús—; cuídense de la levadura de los fariseos y de los saduceos.
7 Ellos comentaban entre sí: «Lo dice porque no trajimos pan». 8 Al darse cuenta de esto, Jesús dijo:
—Hombres de poca fe, ¿por qué están hablando de que no tienen pan? 9 ¿Todavía no entienden? ¿No recuerdan los cinco panes para los cinco mil y el número de canastas que recogieron? 10 ¿Ni los siete panes para los cuatro mil y el número de cestas que recogieron? 11 ¿Cómo es que no entienden que no hablaba yo del pan, sino de tener cuidado de la levadura de fariseos y saduceos?
12 Entonces comprendieron que no les decía que se cuidaran de la levadura del pan, sino de la enseñanza de los fariseos y de los saduceos.
La confesión de Pedro(B)
13 Cuando llegó a la región de Cesarea de Filipo, Jesús preguntó a sus discípulos:
—¿Quién dice la gente que es el Hijo del hombre?
14 Le respondieron:
—Unos dicen que Juan el Bautista, otros que Elías, y otros que Jeremías o uno de los profetas.
15 —Y ustedes, ¿quién dicen que soy yo? —preguntó Jesús.
16 —Tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo del Dios viviente —afirmó Simón Pedro.
17 —Dichoso tú, Simón, hijo de Jonás —dijo Jesús—, porque eso no te lo reveló ningún mortal,[b] sino mi Padre que está en el cielo. 18 Yo te digo que tú eres Pedro.[c] Sobre esta piedra edificaré mi iglesia y las puertas de los dominios de la muerte[d] no prevalecerán contra ella. 19 Te daré las llaves del reino de los cielos; todo lo que ates en la tierra quedará atado en el cielo y todo lo que desates en la tierra quedará desatado en el cielo.
20 Luego ordenó a sus discípulos que no dijeran a nadie que él era el Cristo.
Jesús predice su muerte(C)
21 Desde entonces comenzó Jesús a advertir a sus discípulos que tenía que ir a Jerusalén y sufrir muchas cosas a manos de los líderes religiosos, de los jefes de los sacerdotes y de los maestros de la Ley; también que era necesario que lo mataran y que al tercer día resucitara. 22 Pedro lo llevó aparte y comenzó a reprenderlo:
—¡De ninguna manera, Señor! ¡Esto no te sucederá jamás!
23 Jesús se volvió y dijo a Pedro:
—¡Aléjate de mí, Satanás! Quieres hacerme tropezar; no piensas en las cosas de Dios, sino en las de los hombres.
24 Luego Jesús dijo a sus discípulos:
—Si alguien quiere ser mi discípulo, que se niegue a sí mismo, tome su cruz y me siga. 25 Porque el que quiera salvar su vida la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida por mi causa, la encontrará. 26 ¿De qué le sirve a uno ganar el mundo entero si se pierde la vida? ¿O qué se puede dar a cambio de la vida? 27 Porque el Hijo del hombre ha de venir en la gloria de su Padre con sus ángeles y entonces recompensará a cada persona según lo que haya hecho. 28 Les aseguro que algunos de los aquí presentes no sufrirán la muerte sin antes haber visto al Hijo del hombre llegar en su reino.

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.
