Matthew 16

16 Now the Pharisees and Sadducees came up and, in order to tempt him, asked him to show them a Sign from heaven. 2 He replied,

"It is an evil and disloyal generation that craves a Sign,

and no Sign shall be given to it except the Sign of Jonah."

Then he left them and went away.

5 When the disciples reached the opposite side, they found they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6 Jesus said to them, "See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." 7 They argued among themselves, "But we have not brought any bread!" 8 When Jesus noted this he said, "How little trust you have in me! Why all this talk, because you have brought no bread? 9 Do you not understand even yet? Do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up? 10 And the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up? 11 Why do you not see that I was not speaking to you about bread? No, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." 12 Then they realized that what he told them to beware of was not leaven but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13 Now when Jesus came to the district of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of man is?" 14 They told him, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." 15 He said to them, "And who do you say I am?" 16 So Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus answered him, "You are a blessed man, Simon Bar-jona, for it was my Father in heaven, not flesh and blood, that revealed this to you. 18 Now I tell you, Peter is your name and on this rock I will build my church; the powers of Hades shall not succeed against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the Realm of heaven;

whatever you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven,

and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven." 20 He then forbade the disciples to tell anyone he was the Christ.

21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he had to leave for Jerusalem and endure great suffering at the hands of the elders and high priests and scribes, and be killed and raised on the third day. 22 Peter took him and began to reprove him for it; "God forbid, Lord," he said, "This must not be." 23 But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, you Satan! You are a hindrance to me! Your outlook is not God's but man's." 24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me;

for whoever wants to save his life will lose it,

and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 What profit will it be if a man gains the whole world and forfeits his own soul? What will a man offer as an equivalent for his soul? 27 For the Son of man is coming in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will reward everyone for what he has done. 28 I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the Son of man coming himself to reign."
