Matthew 16 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Pharisees Test Jesus

(Mar 8:11–13; Luk 12:54–56 )

Mat 16:1The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a [fn]sign from heaven.

Mat 16:2But He replied to them, “[fn]When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’

Mat 16:3“And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the [fn]appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?

Mat 16:4

Mat 16:4“An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a [fn]sign; and a [fn]sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.

(Mar 8:14–21 )

Mat 16:5

Mat 16:5And the disciples came to the other side of the sea, but they had forgotten to bring any bread.

Mat 16:6

Mat 16:6And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the [fn]leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Mat 16:7

Mat 16:7They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “He said that because we did not bring any bread.”

Mat 16:8

Mat 16:8But Jesus, aware of this, said, “You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread?

Mat 16:9

Mat 16:9“Do you not yet understand or remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets full you picked up?

Mat 16:10

Mat 16:10“Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large baskets full you picked up?

Mat 16:11

Mat 16:11“How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the [fn]leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Mat 16:12

Mat 16:12Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Peter's Confession of Christ

(Mar 8:27–30; Luk 9:18–20 )

Mat 16:13

Mat 16:15

Mat 16:15He *said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

Mat 16:16

Mat 16:16Simon Peter answered, “You are [fn]the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Mat 16:17

Mat 16:17And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon [fn]Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

Mat 16:18

Mat 16:18“I also say to you that you are [fn]Peter, and upon this [fn]rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

Mat 16:19

Mat 16:19“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth [fn]shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth [fn]shall have been loosed in heaven.”

Mat 16:20

Mat 16:20Then He [fn]warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was [fn]the Christ.

Jesus Foretells His Death

(Mar 8:31–33; Luk 9:21, 22 )

Mat 16:21

Mat 16:21From that time [fn]Jesus began to show 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 up on the third day.

Mat 16:22

Mat 16:22Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “[fn]God forbid it, Lord! This shall never [fn]happen to You.”

Mat 16:23

Mat 16:23But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on [fn]God’s interests, but man’s.”

Discipleship Is Costly

(Mar 8:34–38; Luk 9:23–26 )

Mat 16:24Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

Mat 16:25

Mat 16:25“For whoever wishes to save his [fn]life will lose it; but whoever loses his [fn]life for My sake will find it.

Mat 16:26

Mat 16:26“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Mat 16:27

Mat 16:27“For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN [fn]REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS [fn]DEEDS.

(Mar 9:1–13; Luk 9:27–36; 2Pe 1:16–18 )

Mat 16:28
