* And the Pharisees and Sadducees , coming to [him ], asked him , tempting [him ], to shew them a sign out of heaven . * But he answering said to them , When evening is come , ye say , Fine weather , for the sky is red ; * and in the morning , A storm to-day , for the sky is red [and ] lowering ; ye know [how ] to discern the face of the sky , but ye cannot the signs of the times . * A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign , and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas . And he left them and went away . * And when his disciples were come to the other side , they had forgotten to take bread . * And Jesus said to them , See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees . * And they reasoned among themselves , saying , Because we have taken no bread . * And Jesus knowing [it ], said , Why reason ye among yourselves , O ye of little faith , because ye have taken no bread ? * Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand , and how many hand-baskets ye took [up ]? * nor the seven loaves of the four thousand , and how many baskets ye took [up ]? * How do ye not understand that [it was ] not concerning bread I said to you , Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees ? * Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread , but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees . * But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi , he demanded of his disciples , saying , Who do men say that I the Son of man am ? * And they said , Some , John the baptist ; and others , Elias ; and others again , Jeremias or one of the prophets . * He says to them , But ye , who do ye say that I am ? * And Simon Peter answering said , Thou art the Christ , the Son of the living God . * And Jesus answering said to him , Blessed art thou , Simon Bar-jona , for flesh and blood has not revealed [it ] to thee , but my Father who is in the heavens . * And I also , I say unto thee that thou art Peter , and on this rock I will build my assembly , and hades ' gates shall not prevail against it . * And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens ; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens ; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens . * Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ . * From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem , and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes , and be killed , and the third day be raised . * And Peter taking him to [him ] began to rebuke him , saying , [God ] be favourable to thee , Lord ; this shall in no wise be unto thee . * But turning round , he said to Peter , Get away behind me , Satan ; thou art an offence to me , for thy mind is not on the things that are of God , but on the things that are of men . * Then Jesus said to his disciples , If any one desires to come after me , let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me . * For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it ; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it . * For what does a man profit , if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul ? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul ? * For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels , and then he will render to each according to his doings . * Verily I say unto you , There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom .
