|
|
3. And in the morning, if the sky is dark and red, you say that it will be a rainy day. These are signs of the weather. You see these signs in the sky and know what they mean. In the same way, you see the things that are happening now. These are also signs, but you don't know their meaning.
|
3. And G2532 in the morning G4404 , It will be foul weather G5494 today G4594 : for G1063 the G3588 sky G3772 is red G4449 and G2532 lowering G4768 . O ye hypocrites G5273 , ye can G1097 discern G1252 the G3588 G3303 face G4383 of the G3588 sky G3772 ; but G1161 can G1410 ye not G3756 discern the G3588 signs G4592 of the G3588 times G2540 ?

4. It is the evil and sinful people who want to see a miracle as a sign from God. But no miracle will be done to prove anything to them. The only sign will be the miracle that happened to Jonah. " Then Jesus went away from there.

|
|
6. Jesus said to the followers, "Be careful! Guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. "

|
|
7. The followers discussed the meaning of this. They said, "Did Jesus say this because we forgot to bring bread?"
|
7. And G1161 they G3588 reasoned G1260 among G1722 themselves G1438 , saying G3004 , It is because G3754 we have taken G2983 no G3756 bread G740 .
|
|
8. Jesus knew that they were talking about this. So he asked them, "Why are you talking about not having bread? Your faith is small.
|
8. Which when G1161 Jesus G2424 perceived G1097 , he said G2036 unto them G846 , O ye of little faith G3640 , why G5101 reason G1260 ye among G1722 yourselves G1438 , because G3754 ye have brought G2983 no G3756 bread G740 ?
|
|
9. Do you still not understand? Remember the five loaves of bread that fed the 5000 people and the many baskets you filled with the bread that was left?
|
9. Do ye not yet G3768 understand G3539 , neither G3761 remember G3421 the G3588 five G4002 loaves G740 of the G3588 five thousand G4000 , and G2532 how many G4214 baskets G2894 ye took up G2983 ?

|
|
11. So how could you think that I am concerned about bread? I am telling you to be careful and guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees."
|
11. How G4459 is it that ye do not G3756 understand G3539 that G3754 I spake G2036 it not G3756 to you G5213 concerning G4012 bread G740 , that ye should beware G4337 of G575 the G3588 leaven G2219 of the G3588 Pharisees G5330 and G2532 of the Sadducees G4523 ?
|
|
12. Then the followers understood what Jesus meant. He was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread. He was telling them to guard against the teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
|
12. Then G5119 understood G4920 they how G3754 that he bade G2036 them not G3756 beware G4337 of G575 the G3588 leaven G2219 of bread G740 , but G235 of G575 the G3588 doctrine G1322 of the G3588 Pharisees G5330 and G2532 of the Sadducees G4523 .

|
|

|
|
15. Then Jesus said to his followers, "And who do you say I am?"
|
15. He saith G3004 unto them G846 , But G1161 whom G5101 say G3004 ye G5210 that I G3165 am G1511 ?

|
16. Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
|
16. And G1161 Simon G4613 Peter G4074 answered G611 and said G2036 , Thou G4771 art G1488 the G3588 Christ G5547 , the G3588 Son G5207 of the living G2198 God G2316 .
|
|
17. Jesus answered, "You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah. No one taught you that. My Father in heaven showed you who I am.
|
17. And G2532 Jesus G2424 answered G611 and said G2036 unto him G846 , Blessed G3107 art G1488 thou, Simon G4613 Bar G920 -jona: for G3754 flesh G4561 and G2532 blood G129 hath not G3756 revealed G601 it unto thee G4671 , but G235 my G3450 Father G3962 which G3588 is in G1722 heaven G3772 .
|
|
18. So I tell you, you are Peter. And I will build my church on this rock. The power of death will not be able to defeat my church.
|
18. And G1161 I say also G2504 G3004 unto thee G4671 , That G3754 thou G4771 art G1488 Peter G4074 , and G2532 upon G1909 this G5026 rock G4073 I will build G3618 my G3450 church G1577 ; and G2532 the gates G4439 of hell G86 shall not G3756 prevail against G2729 it G846 .
|
|
19. I will give you the keys to God's kingdom. When you speak judgment here on earth, that judgment will be God's judgment. When you promise forgiveness here on earth, that forgiveness will be God's forgiveness."
|
19. And G2532 I will give G1325 unto thee G4671 the G3588 keys G2807 of the G3588 kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 : and G2532 whatsoever G3739 G1437 thou shalt bind G1210 on G1909 earth G1093 shall G2071 be bound G1210 in G1722 heaven G3772 : and G2532 whatsoever G3739 G1437 thou shalt loose G3089 on G1909 earth G1093 shall be G2071 loosed G3089 in G1722 heaven G3772 .

20. Then G5119 charged G1291 he his G848 disciples G3101 that G2443 they should tell G2036 no man G3367 that G3752 he G846 was G2076 Jesus G2424 the G3588 Christ G5547 .
|
|
21. From that time Jesus began telling his followers that he must go to Jerusalem. He explained that the older Jewish leaders, the leading priests, and the teachers of the law would make him suffer many things. And he told his followers that he must be killed. Then, on the third day, he would be raised from death.

|
|
23. Then Jesus said to Peter, "Get away from me, Satan! You are not helping me! You don't care about the same things God does. You care only about things that people think are important."
|
23. But G1161 he G3588 turned G4762 , and said G2036 unto Peter G4074 , Get G5217 thee behind G3694 me G3450 , Satan G4567 : thou art G1488 an offense G4625 unto me G3450 : for G3754 thou savorest G5426 not G3756 the things G3588 that be of God G2316 , but G235 those G3588 that be of men G444 .
|
|
24. Then Jesus said to his followers, "If any of you want to be my follower, you must stop thinking about yourself and what you want. You must be willing to carry the cross that is given to you for following me.

|
|
25. Any of you who try to save the life you have will lose it. But you who give up your life for me will find true life.
|
25. For G1063 whosoever G3739 G302 will G2309 save G4982 his G848 life G5590 shall lose G622 it G846 : and G1161 whosoever G3739 G302 will lose G622 his G848 life G5590 for my sake G1752 G1700 shall find G2147 it G846 .
|
|
26. It is worth nothing for you to have the whole world if you yourself are lost. You could never pay enough to buy back your life.
|
26. For G1063 what G5101 is a man G444 profited G5623 , if G1437 he shall gain G2770 the G3588 whole G3650 world G2889 , and G2532 lose G2210 his own G848 soul G5590 ? or G2228 what G5101 shall a man G444 give G1325 in exchange G465 for his G848 soul G5590 ?
|
|
27. The Son of Man will come again with his Father's glory and with his angels. And he will reward everyone for what they have done.
|
27. For G1063 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 shall G3195 come G2064 in G1722 the G3588 glory G1391 of his G848 Father G3962 with G3326 his G848 angels G32 ; and G2532 then G5119 he shall reward G591 every man G1538 according G2596 to his G848 works G4234 .
|
|
28. Believe me when I say that there are some people standing here who will see the Son of Man coming with his kingdom before they die."
|
28. Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , There be G1526 some G5100 standing G2476 here G5602 , which G3748 shall not G3361 taste G1089 of death G2288 , till G2193 G302 they see G1492 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 coming G2064 in G1722 his G848 kingdom G932 .
