1 One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus, demanding that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority.
1
And the Pharisees and the Sadducees came to him tempting [And Pharisees and Sadducees tempting him came nigh to him], and prayed him to show them a token from heaven.
2 He replied, “You know the saying, ‘Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow;
2
And he answered, and said to them, When the eventide is come, ye say, It shall be clear, for heaven is ruddy; [+And he answering said to them, The evening made, ye say, It shall be clear, for the heaven is red, either ruddy;]
3 red sky in the morning means foul weather all day.’ You know how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the signs of the times!
3
and the morrowtide, To day tempest [and the morrow, Made to day tempest], for heaven shineth heavily. Then ye know how to deem [wisely] the face of heaven, but ye be not able to know the tokens of times [but ye be not able to know the signs of times].
4 Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand 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.
4
An evil generation and adulterous seeketh a token; and a token shall not be given to it, but the token of Jonas, the prophet. And when he had left them, he went forth [he went away].
5 Later, after they crossed to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring any bread.
5
And when his disciples came over the sea, they forgot to take loaves.
6 “Watch out!” Jesus warned them. “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
6
And he said to them, Behold ye, and beware of the sourdough of Pharisees and of Sadducees.
7 At this they began to argue with each other because they hadn’t brought any bread.
7
And they thought among them[selves], and said [saying], For we have not taken loaves.
8 Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said, “You have so little faith! Why are you arguing with each other about having no bread?
8
But Jesus witting said to them, What think ye among you of little faith, for ye have not taken loaves?
9 Don’t you understand even yet? Don’t you remember the 5,000 I fed with five loaves, and the baskets of leftovers you picked up?
9
Yet ye understand not, neither have mind of five loaves into five thousand of men, and how many baskets ye took [and how many coffins ye took]?
10 Or the 4,000 I fed with seven loaves, and the large baskets of leftovers you picked up?
10
neither of seven loaves into four thousand of men, and how many baskets ye took?
11 Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread? So again I say, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’”
11
Why understand ye not, for I said not to you of bread, Be ye ware of the sourdough of Pharisees and of Sadducees?
12 Then at last they understood that he wasn’t speaking about the yeast in bread, but about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
12
Then they understood, that he said not to beware of [the] sourdough of loaves, but of the teaching of Pharisees and of Sadducees.
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
13
And Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea of Philippi, and asked his disciples, and said [saying], Whom say men to be man's Son?
14 “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”
14
And they said, Some John Baptist; others Elias; and others Jeremy, or one of the prophets.
15 Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
15
Jesus said to them [Jesus saith to them], But whom say ye me to be?
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
16
Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art Christ, the Son of God living [Thou art Christ, the Son of quick God].
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.
17
[Forsooth] Jesus answered, and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood showed not to thee, but my Father that is in heavens.
18 Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.
18
And I say to thee, that thou art Peter, and on this stone I shall build my church, and the gates of hell shall not have power against it. [And I say to thee, for thou art Peter, and upon this stone I shall build my church, and the gates of hell shall not have might, or strength, against it.]
19 And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.”
19
And to thee I shall give the keys of the kingdom of heavens; and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound also in heavens; and whatever thou shalt unbind on earth, shall be unbound also in heavens.
20 Then he sternly warned the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
20
Then he commanded to his disciples, that they should say to no man, that he was Jesus Christ.
21 From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead.
21
From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that it behooved him to go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things, of the elder men, and of the scribes, and of princes of priests [of the elders, and scribes, and princes of priests]; and be slain, and the third day to rise again.
22 But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. “Heaven forbid, Lord,” he said. “This will never happen to you!”
22
And Peter took him, and began to blame him, and said [saying], Far be it from thee, Lord; this shall not be to thee.
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, not from God’s.”
23
And he turned, and said to Peter, Satan, go thou after me; thou art a cause of stumbling to me; for thou savourest not those things that be of God, but those things that be of men. [The which, turned, said to Peter, Satan, go after me; thou art (an) offence to me; for thou savourest not, or understandest not, those things that be of God, but those things that be of men.]
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.
24
Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man will come after me, deny he himself, and take his cross, and follow me;
25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.
25
for he that will make his life safe, shall lose it; and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.
26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?
26
For what profiteth it to a man [Soothly what profiteth to a man], if he win all the world, and suffer impairing of his soul? or what (ex)changing shall a man give for his soul?
27 For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds.
27
For man's Son shall come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then he shall yield to every man after his works.
28 And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”
28
Truly I say to you, there be some of them that stand here [there be some of men standing here], which shall not taste death, till they see man's Son coming in his kingdom.
