1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to {him}, asked him, tempting {him}, to shew them a sign out of heaven.

2 But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine weather, for the sky is red;

3 and in the morning, A storm to-day, for the sky is red {and} lowering; ye know {how} to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot the signs of the times.

4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas. And he left them and went away.

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

6 And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread.

8 And Jesus knowing {it}, said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread?

9 Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took {up}?

10 nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took {up}?

11 How do ye not understand that {it was} not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

12 Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13 But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?

14 And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets.

15 He says to them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answering said, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed {it} to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

18 And *I* also, I say unto thee that *thou* art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens.

20 Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ.

21 From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised.

22 And Peter taking him to {him} began to rebuke him, saying, {God} be favourable to thee, Lord; this shall in no wise be unto thee.

23 But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

25 For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

26 For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

27 For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to each according to his doings.

28 Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

1 Na ka haere mai nga Parihi me nga Haruki, ka whakamatautau ka tono kia whakakitea e ia ki a ratou tetahi tohu i te rangi.

2 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ka ahiahi, ka mea koutou, He paki; ina he whero te rangi.

3 A i te ata, He awha aianei; he whero nei te rangi, e tukupu ana. E te hunga tinihanga, e matau ana koutou ki te titiro ki te mata o te rangi; te taea e koutou nga tohu o nga taima.

4 E rapu tohu ana te whakatupuranga kino, puremu; a heoi ano tohu e hoatu ki a ratou ko te tohu o Hona poropiti. Na whakarerea ana ratou e ia, a haere ana.

5 A ka u nga akonga ki tera taha, kua wareware ki te mau taro atu.

6 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Kia mahara kia tupato i te rewena a nga Parihi, a nga Haruki.

7 A ka korerorero ratou ki a ratou ano, ka mea, No te mea kahore tatou i mau taro mai.

8 A ka mohio a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka korerorero ai ki a koutou, e te hunga whakapono iti, no te mea kihai i maua mai he taro e koutou?

9 Kiano koutou i matau noa, kiano koutou i mahara ki nga taro e rima a nga mano e rima, ki te maha hoki o nga kete i riro i a koutou?

10 Ki nga taro hoki e whitu a nga mano e wha, ki te maha ano o nga kete i riro i a koutou?

11 He aha koutou te matau ai, ehara i te mea mo te taro taku i mea ai ki a koutou, kia tupato i te rewena a nga Parihi, a nga Haruki?

12 Katahi ratou ka matau kihai ia i mea kia tupato i te rewena o te taro, engari i te ako a nga Parihi, a nga Haruki.

13 Ka tae a Ihu ki nga wahi o Hiharia Piripai, ka ui ia ki ana akonga, ka mea, Ko wai ra ahau, te Tama a te tangata, ki ta nga tangata ki?

14 Na ka mea ratou, Ki ta etahi ko Hoani Kaiiriiri; ki ta etahi ko Iraia; ki ta etahi ko Heremaia, ko tetahi ranei o nga poropiti.

15 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, A ki ta koutou ko wai ahau?

16 Na ka whakahoki a Haimona Pita, ka mea, Ko te Karaiti koe, ko te Tama a te Atua ora.

17 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Ka koa koe, e Haimona Parahona: ehara hoki i te kikokiko, i te toto, nana tenei i whakakite ki a koe, engari na toku Matua i te rangi.

18 Na ko taku kupu ano tenei ki a koe, Ko Pita koe, a ka hanga e ahau taku hahi ki runga ki tenei kamaka; e kore ano e taea taua hahi e nga kuwaha o te reinga.

19 Ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe nga ki o te rangatiratanga o te rangi: a ko au e here ai i te whenua e herea ano i te rangi; ko au hoki e wewete ai i te whenua e wetekia ano i te rangi.

20 Me i reira ka whakatupato ia i ana akonga, kia kaua e korerotia e ratou ki te tangata ko te Karaiti ia.

21 No reira mai ano i timata ai a Ihu te whakaatu ki ana akonga, kua takoto te tikanga kia haere ia ki Hiruharama, a he maha nga mamae e mamae ai ia i nga kaumatua, i nga tohunga nui, i nga karaipi, a ka whakamatea ia, a hei te toru o nga ra ka ara.

22 Na ka mau a Pita ki a ia, ka anga ka whakahe ki tana, ka mea, Aue! kauaka, e te Ariki! kauaka ra tenei e pa ki a koe.

23 Na ka tahuri ia, ka mea ki a Pita, Haere ki muri i ahau, e Hatana: he tutukitanga waewae koe ki ahau: kahore hoki ou ngakau ki nga mea a te Atua, engari ki a te tangata.

24 Katahi a Ihu ka mea ki ana akonga, Ki te mea tetahi kia haere mai ki te whai i ahau, me whakakahore ia e ia ano, me amo tona ripeka, ka aru ai i ahau.

25 Ki te whai hoki tetahi kia ora, ka mate ano ia; ki te mate tetahi, mona i whakaaro ki ahau, ka kite ano ia i te ora.

26 He aha hoki te pai ki te tangata, ki te riro i a ia te ao katoa, a ka kore he ora mona? He aha hoki ta te tangata e hoatu ai hei utu mona kia ora?

27 Tenei ake hoki ka haere mai te Tama a te tangata, ratou ko ana anahera, i runga i te kororia o tona Matua; a ko reira hoatu ai e ia ki tenei, ki tenei, te utu o tana mahi.

28 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Tenei ano etahi e tu nei e kore e pangia e te mate, kia kite ra ano i te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i tona rangatiratanga.
