New Testament

Matthew 16

1Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.

και προσελθοντες οι φαρισαιοι και σαδδουκαιοι πειραζοντες επηρωτησαν αυτον σημειον εκ του ουρανου επιδειξαι αυτοις.

2He answered and said to them, 'When it is evening you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red';

ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις· οψιας γενομενης λεγετε· ευδια· πυρραζει γαρ ο ουρανος·

3and in the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

και πρωι· σημερον χειμων· πυρραζει γαρ στυγναζων ο ουρανος. [υποκριται], το μεν προσωπον του ουρανου γινωσκετε διακρινειν, τα δε σημεια των καιρων ου δυνασθε [γνωναι];

4A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.' And He left them and departed.

γενεα πονηρα και μοιχαλις σημειον επιζητει, και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα του προφητου. και καταλιπων αυτους απηλθεν.

5Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

και ελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου εις το περαν επελαθοντο αρτους λαβειν.

6Then Jesus said to them, 'Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.'

ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· ορατε και προσεχετε απο της ζυμης των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων.

7And they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'It is because we have taken no bread.'

οι δε διελογιζοντο εν εαυτοις λεγοντες οτι αρτους ουκ ελαβομεν.

8But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, 'O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?

γνους δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· τι διαλογιζεσθε εν εαυτοις, ολιγοπιστοι, οτι αρτους ουκ ελαβετε;

9Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?

ουπω νοειτε, ουδε μνημονευετε τους πεντε αρτους των πεντακισχιλιων και ποσους κοφινους ελαβετε;

10Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up?

ουδε τους επτα αρτους των τετρακισχιλιων και ποσας σπυριδας ελαβετε;

11How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?—but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.'

πως ου νοειτε οτι ου περι αρτου ειπον υμιν προσεχειν απο της ζυμης των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων;

12Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

τοτε συνηκαν οτι ουκ ειπεν προσεχειν απο της ζυμης του αρτου, αλλ απο της διδαχης των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων.

13When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, 'Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?'

ελθων δε ο ιησους εις τα μερη καισαρειας της φιλιππου ηρωτα τους μαθητας αυτου λεγων· τινα με λεγουσιν οι ανθρωποι ειναι τον υιον του ανθρωπου;

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

οι δε ειπον· οι μεν ιωαννην τον βαπτιστην, αλλοι δε ηλιαν, ετεροι δε ιερεμιαν η ενα των προφητων.

15He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?'

λεγει αυτοις· υμεις δε τινα με λεγετε ειναι;

16Simon Peter answered and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

αποκριθεις δε σιμων πετρος ειπεν· συ ει ο χριστος ο υιος του θεου του ζωντος.

17Jesus answered and said to him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω· μακαριος ει, σιμων βαριωνα, οτι σαρξ και αιμα ουκ απεκαλυψεν σοι, αλλ ο πατηρ μου ο εν τοις ουρανοις.

18And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

καγω δε σοι λεγω οτι συ ει πετρος, και επι ταυτη τη πετρα οικοδομησω μου την εκκλησιαν, και πυλαι αδου ου κατισχυσουσιν αυτης.

19And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.'

και δωσω σοι τας κλεις της βασιλειας των ουρανων, και ο εαν δησης επι της γης, εσται δεδεμενον εν τοις ουρανοις, και ο εαν λυσης επι της γης, εσται λελυμενον εν τοις ουρανοις.

20Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

τοτε διεστειλατο τοις μαθηταις αυτου ινα μηδενι ειπωσιν οτι αυτος εστιν [ιησους] ο χριστος.

21From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

απο τοτε ηρξατο ο ιησους δεικνυειν τοις μαθηταις αυτου οτι δει αυτον απελθειν εις ιεροσολυμα και πολλα παθειν απο των πρεσβυτερων και αρχιερεων και γραμματεων και αποκτανθηναι, και τη τριτη ημερα εγερθηναι.

22Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, 'Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!'

και προσλαβομενος αυτον ο πετρος ηρξατο επιτιμαν αυτω λεγων· ιλεως σοι, κυριε· ου μη εσται σοι τουτο.

23But He turned and said to Peter, 'Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.'

ο δε στραφεις ειπεν τω πετρω· υπαγε οπισω μου, σατανα· σκανδαλον μου ει· οτι ου φρονεις τα του θεου, αλλα τα των ανθρωπων.

24Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

τοτε ο ιησους ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου· ει τις θελει οπισω μου ελθειν, απαρνησασθω εαυτον και αρατω τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθειτω μοι.

25For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

ος γαρ αν θελη την ψυχην αυτου σωσαι, απολεσει αυτην· ος δ αν απολεση την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου, ευρησει αυτην.

26For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

τι γαρ ωφελειται ανθρωπος εαν τον κοσμον ολον κερδηση, την δε ψυχην αυτου ζημιωθη; η τι δωσει ανθρωπος ανταλλαγμα της ψυχης αυτου;

27For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

μελλει γαρ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεσθαι εν τη δοξη του πατρος αυτου μετα των αγγελων αυτου, και τοτε αποδωσει εκαστω κατα την πραξιν αυτου.

28Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.'

αμην λεγω υμιν, εισιν τινες των ωδε εστηκοτων, οιτινες ου μη γευσωνται θανατου εως αν ιδωσιν τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν τη βασιλεια αυτου.
