Matthew - ch 16 v 1 - 20
- And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
- But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, `It will be' fair weather: for the heaven is red.
- And in the morning, `It will be' foul weather to-day: for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot `discern' the signs of the times.
- An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
- And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread.
- And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
- And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread.
- And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread?
- Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
- Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
- How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
- Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
- Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?
- And they said, Some `say' John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
- He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am?
- And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
- And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
- And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
- I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
- Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ.
