1 En die Fariseërs en Sadduseërs het nader gekom om Hom te versoek en het Hom gevra om hulle 'n teken uit die hemel te laat sien.
2 Maar Hy antwoord en sê vir hulle: In die aand sê julle: Mooi weer, want die lug is rooi.
3 En in die môre : Stormweer vandag, want die lug is donkerrooi. Geveinsdes, julle weet wel om die voorkoms van die lug te onderskei, en kan julle nie die tekens van die tye onderskei nie?
4 'n Slegte en owerspelige geslag soek na 'n teken, en geen teken sal aan hom gegee word nie, behalwe die teken van Jona, die profeet. En Hy het hulle verlaat en weggegaan.
5 En toe sy dissipels na die oorkant gegaan het, het hulle vergeet om brode saam te neem.
6 Daarop sê Jesus vir hulle: Pas op en wees op julle hoede vir die suurdeeg van die Fariseërs en Sadduseërs.
7 En hulle het onder mekaar geredeneer en gesê: Dit is omdat ons geen brode saamgeneem het nie.
8 Maar Jesus het dit opgemerk en vir hulle gesê: Wat redeneer julle onder mekaar, kleingelowiges, dat julle geen brode saamgeneem het nie?
9 Begryp julle nog nie, en onthou julle nie die vyf brode van die vyf duisend, en hoeveel mandjiesvol julle opgetel het nie?
10 Of die sewe brode van die vier duisend, en hoeveel mandjiesvol julle opgetel het nie?
11 Hoe is dit dat julle nie begryp dat Ek nie in verband met brood vir julle gesê het om op te pas vir die suurdeeg van die Fariseërs en Sadduseërs nie?
12 Toe het hulle begryp dat Hy nie gesê het dat hulle moes oppas vir die suurdeeg van die brood nie, maar vir die leer van die Fariseërs en Sadduseërs.
13 En toe Jesus in die streke van Cesar,a-Filippi kom, vra Hy sy dissipels en sê: Wie sê die mense dat Ek, die Seun van die mens, is?
14 En hulle antwoord: Sommige Johannes die Doper, en sommige El¡a, en ander Jeremia of een van die profete.
15 Hy sê vir hulle: Maar julle, wie sê julle is Ek?
16 En Simon Petrus antwoord en sê: U is die Christus, die Seun van die lewende God.
17 Toe antwoord Jesus en sê vir hom: Salig is jy, Simon Bar-Jona, want vlees en bloed het dit nie aan jou geopenbaar nie, maar my Vader wat in die hemele is.
18 En Ek sê ook vir jou: Jy is Petrus, en op hierdie rots sal Ek my gemeente bou, en die poorte van die doderyk sal dit nie oorweldig nie.
19 En Ek sal jou die sleutels van die koninkryk van die hemele gee; en wat jy ook op die aarde mag bind, sal in die hemel gebonde wees, en wat jy ook op die aarde mag ontbind, sal in die hemel ontbonde wees.
20 Daarop het Hy sy dissipels bevel gegee dat hulle vir niemand moes sê dat Hy Jesus die Christus is nie.
21 Van toe af het Jesus begin om sy dissipels te toon dat Hy na Jerusalem moes gaan en veel van die ouderlinge en owerpriesters en skrifgeleerdes moes ly, en gedood en op die derde dag opgewek word.
22 Toe neem Petrus Hom opsy en begin Hom bestraf en sê: Mag God dit verhoed, Here, dit sal U nooit oorkom nie!
23 Maar Hy het omgedraai en vir Petrus gesê: Gaan weg agter My, Satan! Jy is vir My 'n struikelblok, omdat jy nie die dinge van God bedink nie, maar die dinge van die mense.
24 Toe sê Jesus vir sy dissipels: As iemand agter My aan wil kom, moet hy homself verloën en sy kruis opneem en My volg.
25 Want elkeen wat sy lewe wil red, sal dit verloor; maar elkeen wat sy lewe om My ontwil verloor, sal dit vind.
26 Want wat baat dit 'n mens as hy die hele wêreld win, maar aan sy siel skade ly? Of wat sal 'n mens gee as losprys vir sy siel?
27 Want die Seun van die mens staan gereed om met sy engele in die heerlikheid van sy Vader te kom, en dan sal Hy elkeen vergeld volgens sy dade.
28 Voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, daar is sommige van die wat hier staan, wat die dood sekerlik nie sal smaak voordat hulle die Seun van die mens in sy koninkryk sien kom het nie.
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came and, testing him, made a request to him to give them a sign from heaven.
2 But in answer he said to them, At nightfall you say, The weather will be good, for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, The weather will be bad today, for the sky is red and angry. You are able to see the face of heaven, but not the signs of the times.
4 An evil and false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.
5 And when the disciples came to the other side they had not taken thought to get bread.
6 And Jesus said to them, Take care to have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, We took no bread.
8 And Jesus, seeing it, said, O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you have no bread?
9 Do you still not see, or keep in mind the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?
10 Or the seven cakes of bread of the four thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?
11 How is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
12 Then they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, 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 made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven.
18 And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it.
19 I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever is fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.
20 Then he gave orders to the disciples to give no man word that he was the Christ.
21 From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead.
22 And Peter, protesting, said to him, Be it far from you, Lord; it is impossible that this will come about.
23 But he, turning to Peter, said, Get out of my way, Satan: you are a danger to me because your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross, and come after me.
25 Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him; but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.
26 For what profit has a man, if he gets all the world with the loss of his life? or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
27 For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will give to every man the reward of his works.
28 Truly I say to you, There are some of those here who will not have a taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
