¹ The Pharises also, with the Sadduces, came, and tempting, desired him that hee would shew them a signe from heauen. ² He answered, and said vnto them, When it is euening, yee say, It will bee faire weather: for the skie is red. ³ And in the morning, It will be foule weather to day: for the skie is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, yee can discerne the face of the skie, but can ye not discerne the signes of the times? ⁴ A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a signe, and there shall no signe be giuen vnto it, but the signe of the Prophet Ionas. And hee left them, and departed.

⁵ And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. ⁶ Then Iesus said vnto them, Take heed and beware of the leauen of the Pharises, and of the Sadduces. ⁷ And they reasoned among themselues, saying, It is because we haue taken no bread. ⁸ Which when Iesus perceiued, he said vnto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among your selues, because ye haue brought no bread? ⁹ Doe ye not yet vnderstand, neither remember the fiue loaues of the fiue thousand, and how many baskets ye tooke vp? ¹⁰ Neither the seuen loaues of the foure thousand, and how many baskets ye tooke vp? ¹¹ How is it that ye doe not vnderstand, that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leauen of the Pharises, and of the Sadduces? ¹² Then vnderstood they how that he bade them not beware of the leauen of bread: but of the doctrine of the Pharisees, and of the Sadduces.

¹³ When Iesus came into the coasts of Cesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom doe men say, that I, the sonne of man, am? ¹⁴ And they said, Some say that thou art Iohn the Baptist, some Elias, and others Ieremias, or one of ye Prophets. ¹⁵ He saith vnto them, But whom say ye that I am? ¹⁶ And Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art Christ the sonne of the liuing God. ¹⁷ And Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Blessed art thou Simon Bar Iona: for flesh and blood hath not reueiled it vnto thee, but my Father which is in heauen. ¹⁸ And I say also vnto thee, that thou art Peter, and vpon this rocke I will build my Church: and the gates of hell shall not preuaile against it. ¹⁹ And I will giue vnto thee the keyes of the kingdome of heauen: and whatsoeuer thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: whatsoeuer thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heauen. ²⁰ Then charged hee his disciples that they should tel no man that he was Iesus the Christ.

²¹ From that time foorth began Iesus to shew vnto his disciples, how that he must goe vnto Hierusalem, and suffer many things of the Elders and chiefe Priests & Scribes, and be killed, and be raised againe the third day. ²² Then Peter tooke him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it farre from thee Lord: This shal not be vnto thee. ²³ But he turned, and said vnto Peter, Get thee behind mee, Satan, thou art an offence vnto me: for thou sauourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

²⁴ Then said Iesus vnto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him denie himselfe, and take vp his crosse, and follow me. ²⁵ For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer will lose his his life for my sake, shall finde it. ²⁶ For what is a man profited, if hee shal gaine the whole world, and lose his owne soule? Or what shall a man giue in exchange for his soule? ²⁷ For the sonne of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his Angels: and then he shall reward euery man according to his works. ²⁸ Uerely I say vnto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Sonne of man comming in his Kingdome.
