Matthew:16

Seeker Overlay ON

* And coming , the Pharisees and Sadducees asked Him to show them a sign out of the heaven , tempting Him . * But answering , He said to them , Evening coming on , you say , Clear sky , for the sky is red . * And at morning , Today a storm , for the sky is red , being overcast . Hypocrites ! You indeed know how to discern the face of the heaven , but you cannot the signs of the times . * An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign , and a sign will not be given to it , except the sign of Jonah the prophet . And leaving them , He went away . * And His disciples coming to the other side , they forgot to take loaves . * And Jesus said to them , Watch ! And beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees . * And they reasoned among themselves , saying , Because we did not take loaves . * And knowing , Jesus said to them , Why do you reason among yourselves because you took no loaves , little-faiths ? * Do you not perceive nor recall the five loaves of the five thousand , and how many hand baskets you took up ? * Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand , and how many lunch baskets you took up ? * How do you not perceive that it was not about loaves that I said to you to beware of from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees ? * Then they knew that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread , but from the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees . * And coming into the parts of Caesarea of Philip , Jesus questioned His disciples , saying , Whom do men say Me the Son of Man to be ? * And they said , Some say John the Baptist , and others Elijah , and others Jeremiah , or one of the prophets . * He said to them , But you , whom do you say Me to be ? * And answering , Simon Peter said , You are the Christ , the Son of the living God . * And answering , Jesus said to him , Blessed are you , Simon , son of Jonah , for flesh and blood did not reveal it to you , but My Father in Heaven . * And I also say to you that you are Peter , and on this rock I will build My church , and the gates of Hades will not prevail against her . * And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven . And whatever you bind on earth shall occur , having been bound in Heaven . And whatever you may loose on the earth shall be , having been loosed in Heaven . * Then He warned His disciples that they should tell no one that He is Jesus the Christ . * From that time , Jesus began to show to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go away to Jerusalem , and to suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes , and to be killed , and to be raised on the third day . * And having taken Him near , Peter began to rebuke Him , saying , God be gracious to You , Lord ; this shall never be to You . * But turning He said to Peter , Go behind Me , Satan ! You are an offense to Me , for you do not think of the things of God , but the things of men . * Then Jesus said to His disciples , If anyone desires to come after Me , let him deny himself , and let him bear his cross , and let him follow Me . * For whoever may desire to save his life will lose it . But whoever may lose his life for My sake will find it . * For what will a man be benefited if he should gain the whole world , but forfeits his soul ? Or what will a man give as an exchange for his soul ? * For the Son of man is about to come with His angels in the glory of His Father . And then "He will give reward to each according to his actions ." LXX-Psa . strkjv @61:13 ; Pro . strkjv @24:12 ; MT-Psa . strkjv @62:12 * Truly I say to you , There are some standing here who in no way will taste of death until they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom .
