Matthew:16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came ,
and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven .
*
He answered and said unto them ,
When it is evening ,
ye say ,
It will be fair weather :
for the sky is red .
*
And in the morning ,
It will be foul weather to day :
for the sky is red and lowring .
O ye hypocrites ,
ye can discern the face of the sky ;
but can ye not discern the signs of the times ?
*
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 .
*
And when his disciples were come to the other side ,
they had forgotten to take bread .
*
Then Jesus said unto them ,
Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees .
*
And they reasoned among themselves ,
saying ,
It is because we have taken no bread .
*
Which when Jesus perceived ,
he said unto them ,
O ye of little faith ,
why reason ye among yourselves ,
because ye have brought no bread ?
*
Do ye not yet understand ,
neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand ,
and how many baskets ye took up ?
*
Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand ,
and how many baskets ye took up ?
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
And they said ,
Some say that thou art John the Baptist :
some ,
Elias ;
and others ,
Jeremias ,
or one of the prophets .
*
He saith unto them ,
But whom say ye that I am ?
*
And Simon Peter answered and said ,
Thou art the Christ ,
the Son of the living God .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ .
*
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 .
*
Then Peter took him ,
and began to rebuke him ,
saying ,
Be it far from thee ,
Lord :
this shall not be unto thee .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it :
and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
