Book Chapter Verse Text
Matthew 16 1 One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus' claims by asking him to show them a miraculous sign from heaven.
Matthew 16 2 He replied, "You know the saying, 'Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow,
Matthew 16 3 red sky in the morning means foul weather all day.' You are good at reading the weather signs in the sky, but you can't read the obvious signs of the times!
Matthew 16 4 Only an evil, faithless generation would ask for a miraculous sign, but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah." Then Jesus left them and went away.
Matthew 16 5 Later, after they crossed to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring any food.
Matthew 16 6 "Watch out!" Jesus warned them. "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
Matthew 16 7 They decided he was saying this because they hadn't brought any bread.
Matthew 16 8 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he said, "You have so little faith! Why are you worried about having no food?
Matthew 16 9 Won't you ever understand? Don't you remember the five thousand I fed with five loaves, and the baskets of food that were left over?
Matthew 16 10 Don't you remember the four thousand I fed with seven loaves, with baskets of food left over?
Matthew 16 11 How could you even think I was talking about food? So again I say, 'Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.'"
Matthew 16 12 Then at last they understood that he wasn't speaking about yeast or bread but about the false teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Matthew 16 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
Matthew 16 14 "Well," they replied, "some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets."
Matthew 16 15 Then he asked them, "Who do you say I am?"
Matthew 16 16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
Matthew 16 17 Jesus replied, "You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being.
Matthew 16 18 Now I say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.
Matthew 16 19 And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you lock on earth will be locked in heaven, and whatever you open on earth will be opened in heaven."
Matthew 16 20 Then he sternly warned them not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Matthew 16 21 From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that he had to go to Jerusalem, and he told them what would happen to him there. He would suffer at the hands of the leaders and the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, and he would be raised on the third day.
Matthew 16 22 But Peter took him aside and corrected him. "Heaven forbid, Lord," he said. "This will never happen to you!"
Matthew 16 23 Jesus turned to Peter and said, "Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, and not from God's."
Matthew 16 24 Then Jesus said to the disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me.
Matthew 16 25 If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life.
Matthew 16 26 And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul?
Matthew 16 27 For I, the Son of Man, will come in the glory of my Father with his angels and will judge all people according to their deeds.
Matthew 16 28 And I assure you that some of you standing here right now will not die before you see me, the Son of Man, coming in my Kingdom."
