Chronological
16 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tempted Him, desiring Him to show them a sign from Heaven.
2 But He answered, and said to them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘Fair weather, for the sky is red.’
3 And in the morning, ‘Storm today. For the sky is red and overcast.’ O, hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky. And can you not discern the signs of the times?
4 “The wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign. But there shall be no sign given it, except that sign of the Prophet Jonah.” So, He left them and departed.
5 And when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
6 Then Jesus said to them, “Watch, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have brought no bread.”
8 But Jesus, knowing it, said to them, “O, you of little faith. Why are you thinking among yourselves, ‘because you have brought no bread’?”
9 Do you still not perceive or remember the five loaves - when there were five thousand - and how many baskets did you take up;
10 “or the seven loaves - when there were four thousand - and how many baskets did you take up?
11 “How do you not understand that what I said to you was not concerning bread, but that you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”
12 Then they understood that He had not said that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Now when Jesus came into the region 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 John Baptist; and some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the Prophets.”
15 He said to them, “But, whom do you say that I am?”
16 Then Simon Peter answered, and said, “You are the Christ; the Son of the living God.”
17 And Jesus answered, and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon, the son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but my Father Who is in Heaven.
18 “And I also say to you that you are Peter. And upon this rock I will build My Church. And the gates of Hell shall not overcome it.
19 “And I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. And whatever you shall bind upon Earth, shall be bound in Heaven. And whatever you shall loose on Earth, shall be loosed in Heaven.”
20 Then He charged His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus, the Christ.
21 From that time forth, Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and the chief priests, and scribes, and be slain, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Master! This shall not happen to You!”
23 Then He turned back and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me because you do not understand the things of God, but the things of men!”
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone will follow Me, let him forsake himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
25 “For whoever would save his life, shall lose it. And whoever shall lose his life, for My sake, shall find it.
26 “For what shall it profit a man if he should win the whole world, yet he loses his own soul? Or what shall a man give for recompense of his soul?
27 “For the Son of Man shall come in the Glory of his Father, with His angels. And then He shall give to everyone according to his deeds.
28 “Truly I say to you, some of those who stand here shall not taste death before they have seen the Son of Man come in His Kingdom.”
8 In those days, when there was a very great multitude and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them,
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
3 “And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they would faint on the way.” For some of them came from far away.
4 Then His disciples answered Him, “How can we give them bread here in the wilderness?”
5 And He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
6 Then He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks; broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them. And they set them before the people.
7 They had also a few small fishes. And when He had given thanks, He commanded them also to be set before them.
8 So they ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left.
9 And those who had eaten were about four thousand. So, He sent them away.
10 And soon, He entered into a ship with His disciples and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came forth and began to dispute with Him, seeking a sign of Heaven from Him, and tempting Him.
12 Then He sighed deeply in His Spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this generation.”
13 So He left them and went into the ship again and departed to the other side.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread with them and had only one loaf in the ship with them.
15 And He charged them, saying, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.”
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.”
17 And when Jesus knew it, He said to them, “Why do you reason ‘because we have no bread’? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Are your hearts still hardened?
18 “Do you have eyes and not see? And do you have ears and not hear? And do you not remember?
19 “When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to Him, “Twelve.”
20 “And when I broke seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of leftovers did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
21 Then He said to them, “How is it that you do not understand?”
22 And He came to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to Him and asked Him to touch him.
23 Then he took the blind by the hand and led him out of the town; and spit in his eyes and put His hands upon him and asked him if he saw anything.
24 And he looked up, and said, “I see men, walking, like trees.”
25 After that, He put his hands upon his eyes again and made him look again. And his sight was restored. And he saw everyone clearly from far way.
26 And He sent him home to his house, saying, “Do not go into the town. And do not tell of this to anyone in the town.”
27 And Jesus went out with His disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And along the way He asked His disciples, saying to them, “Whom do men say that I am?”
28 And they answered, “Some say, John Baptist. And some, Elijah. And some, one of the Prophets.”
29 And He said to them, “But whom do you say that I am?” Then Peter answered, and said to Him, “You are the Christ.”
30 And He sharply charged them that they should tell no one about Him.
31 Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and would be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes; and be killed; and within three days, rise again.
32 And He spoke that thing boldly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
33 Then He turned back and looked at His disciples and rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not understand the things that are of God, but the things that are of man!”
34 And He called the people to Him, with His disciples, and said to them, “Whoever will follow Me, let him forsake himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
35 “For whoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whoever shall lose his life, for My sake, and the Gospel’s, shall save it.
36 “For what shall it profit a man, though he should win the whole world, if he loses his soul?
37 “Or what shall a man exchange for his soul?
38 “For whoever among this adulterous and sinful generation shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him shall the Son of Man also be ashamed when He comes in the Glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
18 And it happened that as He was alone praying, His disciples were with Him. And He asked them, saying, “Whom do the people say that I am?”
19 They answered, and said, “John Baptist. And others say, Elijah. And some say that one of the old Prophets has risen again.”
20 And He said to them, “But Whom do you say that I am?” Peter answered, and said, “The Christ of God.”
21 And He warned and commanded them to tell that to no one,
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, and by the chief priests and scribes, and be killed; and the third day rise again.”
23 And He said to them all, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
24 “For whoever would save his life, shall lose it. And whoever shall lose his life, for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 "For what does it benefit a man if he wins the whole world and destroys himself, or loses himself?
26 “For whoever shall be ashamed of Me and My words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed when He shall come in His own Glory, and in the Glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 “And I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste of death till they have seen the Kingdom of God.”
