Matthew

求主显个神迹

1法利赛人和撒都该人来试探耶稣，请他从天上显个神迹给他们看。

2耶稣回答说：「晚上天发红，你们就说：『天必要晴。』

3早晨天发红，又发黑，你们就说：『今日必有风雨。』你们知道分辨天上的气色，倒不能分辨这时候的神迹。

4一个邪恶淫乱的世代求神迹，除了约拿的神迹以外，再没有神迹给他看。」耶稣就离开他们去了。

防备法利赛人和撒都该人的酵

5门徒渡到那边去，忘了带饼。

6耶稣对他们说：「你们要谨慎，防备法利赛人和撒都该人的酵。」

7门徒彼此议论说：「这是因为我们没有带饼吧。」

8耶稣看出来，就说：「你们这小信的人，为什么因为没有饼彼此议论呢？

9你们还不明白吗？不记得那五个饼分给五千人、又收拾了多少篮子的零碎吗？

10也不记得那七个饼分给四千人、又收拾了多少筐子的零碎吗？

11我对你们说：『要防备法利赛人和撒都该人的酵』，这话不是指着饼说的，你们怎么不明白呢？」

12门徒这才晓得他说的不是叫他们防备饼的酵，乃是防备法利赛人和撒都该人的教训。

彼得认耶稣为基督

13耶稣到了凯撒利亚·腓立比的境内，就问门徒说：「人说我—人子是谁？」

14他们说：「有人说是施洗的约翰；有人说是以利亚；又有人说是耶利米或是先知里的一位。」

15耶稣说：「你们说我是谁？」

16西门·彼得回答说：「你是基督，是永生 神的儿子。」

17耶稣对他说：「西门·巴·约拿，你是有福的！因为这不是属血肉的指示你的，乃是我在天上的父指示的。

18我还告诉你，你是彼得，我要把我的教会建造在这磐石上；阴间的权柄不能胜过他。

19我要把天国的钥匙给你，凡你在地上所捆绑的，在天上也要捆绑；凡你在地上所释放的，在天上也要释放。」

20当下，耶稣嘱咐门徒，不可对人说他是基督。

耶稣预言受难和复活

21从此，耶稣才指示门徒，他必须上耶路撒冷去，受长老、祭司长、文士许多的苦，并且被杀，第三日复活。

22彼得就拉着他，劝他说：「主啊，万不可如此！这事必不临到你身上。」

23耶稣转过来，对彼得说：「撒但，退我后边去吧！你是绊我脚的；因为你不体贴 神的意思，只体贴人的意思。」

24于是耶稣对门徒说：「若有人要跟从我，就当舍己，背起他的十字架来跟从我。

25因为，凡要救自己生命的，必丧掉生命；凡为我丧掉生命的，必得着生命。

26人若赚得全世界，赔上自己的生命，有什么益处呢？人还能拿什么换生命呢？

27人子要在他父的荣耀里，同着众使者降临；那时候，他要照各人的行为报应各人。

28我实在告诉你们，站在这里的，有人在没尝死味以前必看见人子降临在他的国里。」

1And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, did question him, to shew to them a sign from the heaven,

2and he answering said to them, 'Evening having come, ye say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red,

3and at morning, Foul weather to-day, for the heaven is red — gloomy; hypocrites, the face of the heavens indeed ye do know to discern, but the signs of the times ye are not able!

4'A generation evil and adulterous doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;' and having left them he went away.

5And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,

6and Jesus said to them, 'Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;'

7and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, 'Because we took no loaves.'

8And Jesus having known, said to them, 'Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?

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

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

11how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of bread — to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?'

12Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13And Jesus, having come to the parts of Caesarea Philippi, was asking his disciples, saying, 'Who do men say me to be — the Son of Man?'

14and they said, 'Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.'

15He saith to them, 'And ye — who do ye say me to be?'

16and Simon Peter answering said, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

17And Jesus answering said to him, 'Happy art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

18'And I also say to thee, that thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my assembly, and gates of Hades shall not prevail against it;

19and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.'

20Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ.

21From that time began Jesus to shew to his disciples that it is necessary for him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise.

22And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, 'Be kind to thyself, sir; this shall not be to thee;'

23and he having turned, said to Peter, 'Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'

24Then said Jesus to his disciples, 'If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me,

25for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake shall find it,

26for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

27'For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work.

28Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of Man coming in his reign.'
