1 Then came to him the Pharisees with the Sadducees also, and did tempt him, desiring him to show them some sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them, "At even ye say, 'We shall have fair weather,' and that because the sky is red: 3 And in the morning, ye say, 'Today shall be foul weather,' and that because the sky is cloudy and red. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the fashion of the sky: and can ye not discern the signs of the times? 4 The forward nation, and adulterous, seeketh a sign: and there shall none other sign be given unto them, but the sign of the prophet Jonah." So left he them and departed.
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side of the water, they had forgotten to take bread with them.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, "Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees."
7 And they thought in themselves, saying, "Because we have brought no bread with us."
8 When Jesus understood that, he said unto them, "O ye of little faith, why are your minds cumbered because ye have brought no bread? 9 Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember those five loaves, when there were five thousand men, and how many baskets took ye up? 10 Neither the seven loaves, when there were four thousand, and how many baskets took ye up? 11 Why perceive ye not, then, that I spake not unto you of bread, when I said, 'Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?'" 12 Then understood they, how that he bade not them beware of the leaven of bread: but of the doctrine of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees.
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of the city which is called Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples saying, "Whom do men say that I, the son of man, am?"
14 They said, "Some say that thou art John Baptist, some Elijah, some Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
15 He said unto them, "But whom say ye that I am?"
16 Simon Peter answered, and said, "Thou art Christ, the son of the living God."
17 And Jesus answered, and said to him, "Happy art thou, Simon the son of Jonas, for flesh and blood hath not opened unto thee that, but my father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter. And upon this rock, I will build my congregation: and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever thou bindest upon earth, it shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou loosest on earth, it shall be loosed in heaven."
20 Then he charged his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was Jesus Christ.
21 From that time forth, Jesus began to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the high priests, and of the scribes; and must be killed, and rise again the third day. 22 But Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him saying, "Master, favor thyself, this shall not come unto thee."
23 Then turned he about, and said unto Peter, "Come after me, Satan: thou offendest me, because thou savourest not Godly things, but worldly things."
24 Jesus then said to his disciples. "If any man will follow me, let him forsake himself, and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it. And whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it. 26 What shall it profit a man, though he should win all the whole world, if he lose his own soul? Or else, what shall a man give to redeem his soul again withal? 27 For the son of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his angels, and then shall he reward every man according to his deeds. 28 Verily I say unto you, some there be among them that here stand, which shall not taste of death, till they shall have seen the son of man come in his kingdom."
