The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Some Pharisees and Sadducees were on him again, pressing him to prove himself to them.
1
et accesserunt ad eum Pharisaei et Sadducaei temptantes et rogaverunt eum ut signum de caelo ostenderet eis
2 He told them, "You have a saying that goes, 'Red sky at night, sailor's delight;
2
at ille respondens ait eis facto vespere dicitis serenum erit rubicundum est enim caelum
3 red sky at morning, sailors take warning.' You find it easy enough to forecast the weather - why can't you read the signs of the times?
3
et mane hodie tempestas rutilat enim triste caelum
4 An evil and wanton generation is always wanting signs and wonders. The only sign you'll get is the Jonah sign." Then he turned on his heel and walked away.
4
faciem ergo caeli diiudicare nostis signa autem temporum non potestis generatio mala et adultera signum quaerit et signum non dabitur ei nisi signum Ionae et relictis illis abiit
5 On their way to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring along bread.
5
et cum venissent discipuli eius trans fretum obliti sunt panes accipere
6 In the meantime, Jesus said to them, "Keep a sharp eye out for Pharisee-Sadducee yeast."
6
qui dixit illis intuemini et cavete a fermento Pharisaeorum et Sadducaeorum
7 Thinking he was scolding them for forgetting bread, they discussed in whispers what to do.
7
at illi cogitabant inter se dicentes quia panes non accepimus
8 Jesus knew what they were doing and said, "Why all these worried whispers about forgetting the bread? Runt believers!
8
sciens autem Iesus dixit quid cogitatis inter vos modicae fidei quia panes non habetis
9 Haven't you caught on yet? Don't you remember the five loaves of bread and the five thousand people, and how many baskets of fragments you picked up?
9
nondum intellegitis neque recordamini quinque panum quinque milium hominum et quot cofinos sumpsistis
10 Or the seven loaves that fed four thousand, and how many baskets of leftovers you collected?
10
neque septem panum quattuor milium hominum et quot sportas sumpsistis
11 Haven't you realized yet that bread isn't the problem? The problem is yeast, Pharisee-Sadducee yeast."
11
quare non intellegitis quia non de pane dixi vobis cavete a fermento Pharisaeorum et Sadducaeorum
12 Then they got it: that he wasn't concerned about eating, but teaching - the Pharisee-Sadducee kind of teaching.
12
tunc intellexerunt quia non dixerit cavendum a fermento panum sed a doctrina Pharisaeorum et Sadducaeorum
13 When Jesus arrived in the villages of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "What are people saying about who the Son of Man is?"
13
venit autem Iesus in partes Caesareae Philippi et interrogabat discipulos suos dicens quem dicunt homines esse Filium hominis
14 They replied, "Some think he is John the Baptizer, some say Elijah, some Jeremiah or one of the other prophets."
14
at illi dixerunt alii Iohannem Baptistam alii autem Heliam alii vero Hieremiam aut unum ex prophetis
15 He pressed them, "And how about you? Who do you say I am?"
15
dicit illis vos autem quem me esse dicitis
16 Simon Peter said, "You're the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
16
respondens Simon Petrus dixit tu es Christus Filius Dei vivi
17 Jesus came back, "God bless you, Simon, son of Jonah! You didn't get that answer out of books or from teachers. My Father in heaven, God himself, let you in on this secret of who I really am.
17
respondens autem Iesus dixit ei beatus es Simon Bar Iona quia caro et sanguis non revelavit tibi sed Pater meus qui in caelis est
18 And now I'm going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock. This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out.
18
et ego dico tibi quia tu es Petrus et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversum eam
19 "And that's not all. You will have complete and free access to God's kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. A yes on earth is yes in heaven. A no on earth is no in heaven."
19
et tibi dabo claves regni caelorum et quodcumque ligaveris super terram erit ligatum in caelis et quodcumque solveris super terram erit solutum in caelis
20 He swore the disciples to secrecy. He made them promise they would tell no one that he was the Messiah.
20
tunc praecepit discipulis suis ut nemini dicerent quia ipse esset Iesus Christus
21 Then Jesus made it clear to his disciples that it was now necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, submit to an ordeal of suffering at the hands of the religious leaders, be killed, and then on the third day be raised up alive.
21
exinde coepit Iesus ostendere discipulis suis quia oporteret eum ire Hierosolymam et multa pati a senioribus et scribis et principibus sacerdotum et occidi et tertia die resurgere
22 Peter took him in hand, protesting, "Impossible, Master! That can never be!"
22
et adsumens eum Petrus coepit increpare illum dicens absit a te Domine non erit tibi hoc
23 But Jesus didn't swerve. "Peter, get out of my way. Satan, get lost. You have no idea how God works."
23
qui conversus dixit Petro vade post me Satana scandalum es mihi quia non sapis ea quae Dei sunt sed ea quae hominum
24 Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how.
24
tunc Iesus dixit discipulis suis si quis vult post me venire abneget semet ipsum et tollat crucem suam et sequatur me
25 Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.
25
qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere perdet eam qui autem perdiderit animam suam propter me inveniet eam
26 What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?
26
quid enim prodest homini si mundum universum lucretur animae vero suae detrimentum patiatur aut quam dabit homo commutationem pro anima sua
27 "Don't be in such a hurry to go into business for yourself. Before you know it the Son of Man will arrive with all the splendor of his Father, accompanied by an army of angels. You'll get everything you have coming to you, a personal gift.
27
Filius enim hominis venturus est in gloria Patris sui cum angelis suis et tunc reddet unicuique secundum opus eius
28 This isn't pie in the sky by and by. Some of you standing here are going to see it take place, see the Son of Man in kingdom glory."
28
amen dico vobis sunt quidam de hic stantibus qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant Filium hominis venientem in regno suo
