Chapter 16
1
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2
But he answered them, “+w When|strong=“G1161”+w* +w it|strong=“G1161”+w* +w is|strong=“G3588”+w* +w evening|strong=“G3798”+w*, +w you|strong=“G3004”+w* +w say|strong=“G3004”+w*, ‘+w It|strong=“G1161”+w* +w will|strong=“G1096”+w* +w be|strong=“G1096”+w* +w fair|strong=“G2105”+w* +w weather|strong=“G2105”+w*, +w for|strong=“G1063”+w* +w the|strong=“G1161”+w* +w sky|strong=“G3772”+w* +w is|strong=“G3588”+w* +w red|strong=“G4449”+w*.’

5
The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
6
Jesus said to them, “+w Take|strong=“G1161”+w* +w heed|strong=“G4337”+w* +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w beware|strong=“G4337”+w* +w of|strong=“G2532”+w* +w the|strong=“G2532”+w* +w yeast|strong=“G2219”+w* +w of|strong=“G2532”+w* +w the|strong=“G2532”+w* +w Pharisees|strong=“G5330”+w* +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w Sadducees|strong=“G4523”+w*.”
7
They reasoned among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”
8
Jesus, perceiving it, said, “+w Why|strong=“G5101”+w* +w do|strong=“G5101”+w* +w you|strong=“G3754”+w* +w reason|strong=“G1260”+w* +w among|strong=“G1722”+w* +w yourselves|strong=“G1438”+w*, +w you|strong=“G3754”+w* +w of|strong=“G1722”+w* +w little|strong=“G3640”+w* +w faith|strong=“G3640”+w*, +w because|strong=“G3754”+w* +w you|strong=“G3754”+w* +w have|strong=“G3748”+w* +w brought|strong=“G1161”+w* +w no|strong=“G3756”+w* bread?
9
Don’+w t|strong=“G3588”+w* +w you|strong=“G2532”+w* +w yet|strong=“G2532”+w* +w perceive|strong=“G3539”+w* +w or|strong=“G2532”+w* +w remember|strong=“G3421”+w* +w the|strong=“G2532”+w* +w five|strong=“G4002”+w* loaves +w for|strong=“G2532”+w* +w the|strong=“G2532”+w* +w five|strong=“G4002”+w* +w thousand|strong=“G4000”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w how|strong=“G4214”+w* +w many|strong=“G4214”+w* +w baskets|strong=“G2894”+w* +w you|strong=“G2532”+w* +w took|strong=“G2983”+w* +w up|strong=“G2532”+w*,

12
Then they understood that he didn’t tell them to beware of the yeast 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, “+w Who|strong=“G5101”+w* +w do|strong=“G5101”+w* +w men|strong=“G3588”+w* +w say|strong=“G3004”+w* +w that|strong=“G3588”+w* +w I|strong=“G1161”+w*, +w the|strong=“G1519”+w* +w Son|strong=“G5207”+w* +w of|strong=“G5207”+w* +w Man|strong=“G5101”+w*, +w am|strong=“G1510”+w*?”
14
They said, “Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15
He said to them, “+w But|strong=“G1161”+w* +w who|strong=“G5101”+w* +w do|strong=“G5101”+w* +w you|strong=“G5210”+w* +w say|strong=“G3004”+w* +w that|strong=“G3004”+w* +w I|strong=“G1473”+w* +w am|strong=“G1510”+w*?”
16
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17
Jesus answered him, “+w Blessed|strong=“G3107”+w* +w are|strong=“G1510”+w* +w you|strong=“G4771”+w*, +w Simon|strong=“G4613”+w* Bar Jonah, +w for|strong=“G3754”+w* +w flesh|strong=“G4561”+w* +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* blood +w has|strong=“G3962”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* revealed +w this|strong=“G3588”+w* +w to|strong=“G2532”+w* +w you|strong=“G4771”+w*, +w but|strong=“G1161”+w* +w my|strong=“G1722”+w* +w Father|strong=“G3962”+w* +w who|strong=“G3588”+w* +w is|strong=“G1510”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w heaven|strong=“G3772”+w*.

20
Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
21
From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22
Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”
23
But he turned and said to Peter, “+w Get|strong=“G5217”+w* +w behind|strong=“G3694”+w* +w me|strong=“G1473”+w*, +w Satan|strong=“G4567”+w*! +w You|strong=“G3754”+w* +w are|strong=“G1510”+w* +w a|strong=“G1510”+w* +w stumbling|strong=“G4625”+w* +w block|strong=“G4625”+w* +w to|strong=“G3004”+w* +w me|strong=“G1473”+w*, +w for|strong=“G3754”+w* +w you|strong=“G3754”+w* +w are|strong=“G1510”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w setting|strong=“G5426”+w* +w your|strong=“G5426”+w* +w mind|strong=“G5426”+w* +w on|strong=“G5426”+w* +w the|strong=“G1161”+w* +w things|strong=“G3588”+w* +w of|strong=“G2316”+w* +w God|strong=“G2316”+w*, +w but|strong=“G1161”+w* +w on|strong=“G5426”+w* +w the|strong=“G1161”+w* +w things|strong=“G3588”+w* +w of|strong=“G2316”+w* +w men|strong=“G3588”+w*.”
24
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “+w If|strong=“G1487”+w* +w anyone|strong=“G5100”+w* +w desires|strong=“G2309”+w* +w to|strong=“G2532”+w* +w come|strong=“G2064”+w* +w after|strong=“G3694”+w* +w me|strong=“G1473”+w*, +w let|strong=“G2532”+w* +w him|strong=“G3588”+w* +w deny|strong=“G3588”+w* +w himself|strong=“G1438”+w*, +w take|strong=“G2532”+w* +w up|strong=“G2532”+w* +w his|strong=“G1438”+w* +w cross|strong=“G4716”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w follow|strong=“G3694”+w* +w me|strong=“G1473”+w*.
