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.”

Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Nagpangayo sang Milagro ang mga Pariseo kag mga Saduceo(A)
16 May mga Pariseo kag mga Saduceo nga nagpalapit kay Jesus sa pagtilaw sa iya. Nagpangabay sila sa iya nga magpakita siya sang milagro halin sa Dios[a] bilang pamatuod nga ginpadala siya sang Dios. 2 Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Kon nagasalop ang adlaw kag ang langit mapula, nagasiling kamo nga ‘Maayo ang tiyempo buwas.’ 3 Kag kon aga pa kag ang langit magal-om, nagasiling kamo nga ‘Maulan subong nga adlaw.’ Nahibaluan ninyo kon magaulan ukon indi paagi sa pagtan-aw sa langit, pero indi kamo kahibalo sang kahulugan sang mga nagakalatabo subong. 4 Kamo nga mga tawo sa sini nga henerasyon, tama kalaot kag indi matutom sa pagsunod sa Dios. Nagapangayo kamo sing milagro, pero wala sing milagro nga ipakita sa inyo luwas sa milagro nga pareho sang natabo kay Jonas.” Dayon naghalin siya.
Ang Paandam ni Jesus Parte sa mga Pariseo kag mga Saduceo(B)
5 Nagtabok si Jesus kag ang iya mga sumulunod sa pihak sang dagat, pero ang iya mga sumulunod nalipat magbalon sang pagkaon. 6 Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Mag-andam gid kamo sa inugpahabok[b] sa tinapay sang mga Pariseo kag mga Saduceo.” 7 Pagkabati sadto sang iya mga sumulunod nagsiling sila, “Siguro ginhambal niya ato tungod kay wala kita nakadala sang tinapay.” 8 Pero nahibaluan ni Jesus kon ano ang ila ginahunahuna. Gani nagsiling siya sa ila, “Ngaa nagabinaisay kamo nga wala kamo nakadala sang tinapay? Kadiutay sang inyo pagtuo! 9 Wala pa bala ninyo maintiendihi nga indi kita dapat magpalibog parte sa tinapay? Wala bala ninyo madumdumi ang lima ka bilog nga tinapay nga akon ginpamihak-pihak agod makakaon ang 5,000 ka tawo? Nalipatan bala ninyo kon pila ka alat ang inyo napuno sa mga nabilin nga tinapay? 10 Wala bala ninyo madumdumi nga sa pito ka bilog nga tinapay ginpakaon ko ang 4,000 ka tawo, kag pila pa ka alat ang sobra? 11 Ti ngaa wala kamo makaintiendi nga indi tinapay ang akon buot hambalon sang pagsiling ko nga, ‘Mag-andam kamo sa inugpahabok sa tinapay sang mga Pariseo kag mga Saduceo’?” 12 Gani naintiendihan nila nga indi gali ang inugpahabok sa tinapay ang ila dapat likawan kundi ang pagpanudlo sang mga Pariseo kag mga Saduceo.
Sin-o si Jesus Suno kay Pedro(C)
13 Karon, sang didto na sila ni Jesus sa lugar sang Cesarea Filipos nagpamangkot siya sa iya mga sumulunod, “Suno sa mga tawo, sin-o bala ako nga Anak sang Tawo?” 14 Nagsabat sila, “May nagasiling nga ikaw si Juan nga manugbautiso. Ang iban nagasiling nga ikaw si Elias. May iban pa gid nga nagasiling nga ikaw si Jeremias, kag kon indi, basta isa sa mga propeta.” 15 Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Pero suno sa inyo, sin-o bala ako?” 16 Nagsabat si Pedro, “Ikaw ang Cristo,[c] ang Anak sang Dios nga buhi!” 17 Nagsiling si Jesus sa iya, “Simon nga anak ni Jonas, bulahan ka, tungod kay ang nagsugid sa imo sini nga butang indi tawo kundi ang akon Amay sa langit. 18 Kag tungod sini ginatawag ko ikaw nga Pedro, nga kon sayuron ‘bato.’ Kag sa sini nga bato pagatukuron ko ang akon iglesya,[d] kag bisan ang gahom sang kamatayon[e] indi makadaog sa iya. 19 Sa imo ko ihatag ang awtoridad para pangunahan mo ang pagpaluntad sang paghari sang Dios.[f] Ang bisan ano nga indi mo pagtugutan diri sa kalibutan amo man ang indi pagtugutan sang Dios, kag ang bisan ano nga tugutan mo amo man ang tugutan sang Dios.”[g] 20 Dayon ginpaandaman ni Jesus ang iya mga sumulunod nga indi gid sila magpanugid bisan kay sin-o nga siya amo ang Cristo.
Ginsugid ni Jesus nga Magaantos Siya kag Patyon(D)
21 Halin sadto ginpaathag ni Jesus sa iya mga sumulunod kon ano ang matabo sa iya. Nagsiling siya, “Kinahanglan gid nga magkadto ako sa Jerusalem. Didto magaantos gid ako sa himuon sa akon sang mga manugdumala sang mga Judio, sang manugdumala nga mga pari, kag sang mga manunudlo sang Kasuguan.[h] Ipapatay nila ako, pero sa ikatlo nga adlaw mabanhaw ako.” 22 Sang pagsiling niya sadto gindala siya ni Pedro sa ulo-unhan kag ginsaway, “Ginoo, ipalayo lang sa imo ang ginhambal mo nga ina. Indi pag-itugot sang Dios nga matabo ina sa imo.” 23 Nagliso si Jesus kag nagsiling sa iya, “Palayo ka sa akon, Satanas! Ginabalabagan mo ako nga maghimo sang kabubut-on sang Dios tungod kay ang imo hunahuna indi iya sang Dios kundi iya sang tawo!”
24 Dayon nagsiling si Jesus sa iya mga sumulunod, “Kon may tawo nga gusto magsunod sa akon, indi niya dapat pagpasulabihon ang iya kaugalingon. Kag dapat handa siya sa pag-atubang sa kamatayon[i] sa iya nga pagsunod sa akon. 25 Kay ang bisan sin-o nga luyag magluwas sang iya kabuhi madula niya ini. Pero ang bisan sin-o nga maghalad sang iya kabuhi tungod sa akon makaangkon sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan. 26 Ano gid bala ang makuha sang tawo kon maangkon niya ang tanan nga butang diri sa kalibutan, pero mawala ang iya kabuhi? Wala gid! Kay wala gid sing butang nga sarang niya mahatag agod mapabalik niya ang iya kabuhi. 27 Kay ako nga Anak sang Tawo magabalik diri sa kalibutan nga nagasilak sa gahom sang akon Amay, kag kaupod ko ang iya mga anghel. Dayon balusan ko ang tagsa-tagsa suno sa iya mga binuhatan. 28 Sa pagkamatuod, may mga tawo diri nga indi pa mapatay hasta makita nila ako nga Anak sang Tawo nga nagabalik diri bilang Hari.”

Matthew 16
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.
Matthew 16
English Standard Version
The Pharisees and Sadducees Demand Signs
16 (A)And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and (B)to test him (C)they asked him to show them (D)a sign from heaven. 2 He answered them,[a] (E)“When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ (F)You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret (G)the signs of the times. 4 (H)An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So (I)he left them and departed.
The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5 When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6 Jesus said to them, “Watch and (J)beware of (K)the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7 And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.” 8 But (L)Jesus, aware of this, said, (M)“O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? 9 (N)Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember (O)the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 10 Or (P)the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 11 How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? (Q)Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 (R)Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of (S)the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
13 (T)Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say (U)John the Baptist, others say (V)Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, (W)“You are (X)the Christ, (Y)the Son of (Z)the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, (AA)“Blessed are you, (AB)Simon Bar-Jonah! For (AC)flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, (AD)but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, (AE)you are Peter, and (AF)on this rock[b] I will build my church, and (AG)the gates of (AH)hell[c] shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you (AI)the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and (AJ)whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed[d] in heaven.” 20 (AK)Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
21 (AL)From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that (AM)he must go to Jerusalem and (AN)suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on (AO)the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord![e] This shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, (AP)“Get behind me, Satan! You are (AQ)a hindrance[f] to me. For you (AR)are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him (AS)deny himself and (AT)take up his cross and follow me. 25 For (AU)whoever would save his life[g] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For (AV)what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or (AW)what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 (AX)For the Son of Man is going to come with (AY)his angels in the glory of his Father, and (AZ)then he will repay each person according to what he has done. 28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not (BA)taste death (BB)until they see the Son of Man (BC)coming in his kingdom.”
