And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

2 B ut He replied to them, “ When it is evening, you say, ‘ It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’

But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the heaven is red.

3 A nd in the morning, ‘ There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?

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.

4 A n evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.

And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread?

10 O r the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large baskets full you picked up?

Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

11 H ow is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

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.

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.

18 I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

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.

19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.”

And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee.

23 B ut 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 God’s interests, but man’s.” Discipleship Is Costly

25 F or whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

26 F or 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?

For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds.

28 Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

Verily I say unto you, there are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
