¶ The Pharisees¹ also with the Sadducees² came, and tempting³ desired him that he would shew them a sign⁴ from heaven.

He answered and said unto them, When it⁵ 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 ye⁶ hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs⁷ of the times?

A wicked⁸ and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but⁹ the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he¹⁰ left them, and departed.

¶¹¹And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

Then Jesus said unto them, Take¹² heed and beware of the leaven¹³ of the Pharisees¹⁴ and of the Sadducees.

And they¹⁵ reasoned among themselves, saying, It is¹⁶ because we have taken no bread.

Which when¹⁷ Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye¹⁸ of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

Do ye not¹⁹ yet understand, neither remember the five loaves²⁰ of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

¶²¹Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

²²How 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, but²³ of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

¶ When Jesus came²⁴ into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi²⁵, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom²⁶ do men say that I the²⁷ Son of man am?

And they said, Some say that thou art John²⁸ the Baptist: some, Elias²⁹; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

He saith unto them, But³⁰ whom say ye that I am?

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou³¹ art the Christ, the Son of the living³² God.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed³³ art thou, Simon³⁴ Barjona: for³⁵ flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but³⁶ my Father which is in heaven.

And I say also unto thee, That thou³⁷ art Peter, and upon³⁸ this rock I will³⁹ build my⁴⁰ church; and the⁴¹ gates of hell shall not⁴² prevail against it.

And I will give⁴³ unto thee the keys⁴⁴ of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever⁴⁵ thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

¶ Then charged⁴⁶ he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus⁴⁷ the Christ.

¶ From that time forth began⁴⁸ Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests⁴⁹ and scribes, and be⁵⁰ killed, and be raised again the third day.

Then Peter took him, and began⁵¹ to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee⁵², Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get⁵³ thee behind me, Satan⁵⁴: thou art⁵⁵ an offence unto me: for thou savourest⁵⁶ not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

¶ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If⁵⁷ any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take⁵⁸ up his cross, and follow me.

⁵⁹For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

For what is⁶⁰ a man profited, if he shall gain⁶¹ the whole world, and lose his own soul? or⁶² what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

For the Son⁶³ of man shall come in the glory of his Father with⁶⁴ his angels; and then⁶⁵ he shall reward every man according to his works.

Verily I say unto you, There⁶⁶ be some standing here, which shall not taste⁶⁷ of death, till they see⁶⁸ the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
