¹ And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven.² But he answered and said to them, When it is evening, you say, [It will be] fair weather: for the heaven is red.³ And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather today: for the heaven is red and lowering. You know how to discern the face of the heaven; but you can't [discern] the signs of the times.⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.

⁵ And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread.⁶ And Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.⁷ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread.⁸ And Jesus perceiving it said, O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves, because you have no bread?⁹ Do you not yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?¹⁰ Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?¹¹ How is it that you do not perceive that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.¹² Then they understood that he did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

¹³ Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?¹⁴ And they said, Some [say] John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.¹⁵ He says to them, But who do you say that I am?¹⁶ And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.¹⁷ And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but my Father who is in heaven.¹⁸ And I also say to you, that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.¹⁹ I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.²⁰ Then he charged the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ.

²¹ From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.²² And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from you, Lord: this shall never happen to you.²³ But he turned, and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan: you are a stumbling-block to me: for you do not mind the things of God, but the things of men.

²⁴ Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.²⁵ For whoever would save his life shall lose it: and whoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.²⁶ For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?²⁷ For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall render to every man according to his deeds.²⁸ Truly I say to you, there are some of those that stand here, who shall in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
