1 T he proud religious law-keepers and a religious group of people who believe no one will be raised from the dead came to Jesus. They asked Him to show something special from heaven. They wanted to trap Jesus.

Então chegaram a ele os fariseus e os saduceus e, para o experimentarem, pediram-lhe que lhes mostrasse algum sinal do céu.

2 ( He said to them, “In the evening you say, ‘The weather will be good tomorrow because the sky is red.’

Mas ele respondeu, e disse-lhes: Ao cair da tarde, dizeis: Haverá bom tempo, porque o céu está rubro.

3 A nd in the morning you say, ‘We will have a storm today because the sky is red and the clouds are low.’ You understand the things you see in the sky, but you cannot understand the special things you see these days!)

E pela manhã: Hoje haverá tempestade, porque o céu está de um vermelho sombrio. Ora, sabeis discernir o aspecto do céu, e não podeis discernir os sinais dos tempos?

4 T he sinful people of this day go after something special to see. There will be nothing special for them to see but the early preacher Jonah.” Then He went away from them. Jesus Shows That the Teaching of the Proud Religious Law-Keepers Is Wrong

Uma geração má e adúltera pede um sinal, e nenhum sinal lhe será dado, senão o de Jonas. E, deixando-os, retirou-se.

5 T he followers came to the other side of the lake. They remembered they had forgotten to bring bread.

Quando os discípulos passaram para o outro lado, esqueceram- se de levar pão.

6 J esus said to them, “See! Have nothing to do with the yeast of the proud religious law-keepers and the religious group of people who believe no one will be raised from the dead.”

E Jesus lhes disse: Olhai, e acautelai-vos do fermento dos fariseus e dos saduceus.

7 T hey started to think about it among themselves and said, “He said this because we forgot to bring bread.”

Pelo que eles arrazoavam entre si, dizendo: É porque não trouxemos pão.

8 J esus knew this and said, “You have very little faith! Why are you talking among yourselves about not bringing bread?

E Jesus, percebendo isso, disse: Por que arrazoais entre vós por não terdes pão, homens de pouca fé?

9 D o you not yet understand or remember the five loaves of bread that fed five thousand men? And how many baskets full were gathered up?

Não compreendeis ainda, nem vos lembrais dos cinco pães para os cinco mil, e de quantos cestos levantastes?

10 O r do you not even remember the seven loaves of bread that fed the four thousand men? And how many baskets full were gathered up?

Nem dos sete pães para os quatro mil, e de quantas alcofas levantastes?

11 W hy is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread? I was talking to you about keeping away from the yeast of the proud religious law-keepers and the religious group of people who believe no one will be raised from the dead.”

Como não compreendeis que não nos falei a respeito de pães? Mas guardai-vos do fermento dos fariseus e dos saduceus.

12 T hen they understood that it was not the yeast of bread that He was talking about. But He was talking about the teaching of the proud religious law-keepers and of the other religious group of people. Peter Says Jesus Is the Christ

Então entenderam que não dissera que se guardassem, do fermento dos pães, mas da doutrina dos fariseus e dos saduceus.

13 J esus came into the country of Caesarea Philippi. He asked His followers, “Who do people say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

Tendo Jesus chegado

14 T hey said, “Some say You are John the Baptist and some say Elijah and others say Jeremiah or one of the early preachers.”

Responderam eles: Uns dizem que é João, o Batista; outros, Elias; outros, Jeremias, ou algum dos profetas.

15 H e said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

Mas vós, perguntou-lhes Jesus, quem dizeis que eu sou?

16 S imon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Respondeu-lhe Simão Pedro: Tu és o Cristo, o Filho do Deus vivo.

17 J esus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, you are happy because you did not learn this from man. My Father in heaven has shown you this.

Disse-lhe Jesus: Bem-aventurado és tu, Simão Barjonas, porque não foi carne e sangue que to revelou, mas meu Pai, que está nos céus.

18 “ And I tell you that you are Peter. On this rock I will build My church. The powers of hell will not be able to have power over My church.

Pois também eu te digo que tu és Pedro, e sobre esta pedra edificarei a minha igreja, e as portas do hades não prevalecerão contra ela;

19 I will give you the keys of the holy nation of heaven. Whatever you do not allow on earth will not have been allowed in heaven. Whatever you allow on earth will have been allowed in heaven.”

dar-te-ei as chaves do reino dos céus; o que ligares, pois, na terra será ligado nos céus, e o que desligares na terra será desligado nos céus.

20 T hen with strong words He told His followers to tell no one that He was the Christ. Jesus Tells of His Death for the First Time

Então ordenou aos discípulos que a ninguém dissessem que ele era o Cristo.

21 F rom that time on Jesus began to tell His followers that He had to go to Jerusalem and suffer many things. These hard things would come from the leaders and from the head religious leaders of the Jews and from the teachers of the Law. He told them He would be killed and three days later He would be raised from the dead.

Desde então começou Jesus Cristo a mostrar aos seus discípulos que era necessário que ele fosse a Jerusalém, que padecesse muitas coisas dos anciãos, dos principais sacerdotes, e dos escribas, que fosse morto, e que ao terceiro dia ressuscitasse.

22 P eter took Jesus away from the others and spoke sharp words to Him. He said, “Never, Lord! This must not happen to You!”

E Pedro, tomando-o ã parte, começou a repreendê-lo, dizendo: Tenha Deus compaixão de ti, Senhor; isso de modo nenhum te acontecerá.

23 T hen Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are standing in My way. You are not thinking how God thinks. You are thinking how man thinks.” Giving Up Riches

Ele, porém, voltando-se, disse a Pedro: Para trás de mim, Satanás, que me serves de escândalo; porque não estás pensando nas coisas que são de Deus, mas sim nas que são dos homens.

24 J esus said to His followers, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must forget about himself. He must take up his cross and follow Me.

Então disse Jesus aos seus discípulos: Se alguém quer vir após mim, negue-se a si mesmo, tome a sua cruz, e siga-me;

25 I f anyone wants to keep his life safe, he will lose it. If anyone gives up his life because of Me, he will save it.

pois, quem quiser salvar a sua vida perdê-la-á; mas quem perder a sua vida por amor de mim, achá-la-á.

26 F or what does a man have if he gets all the world and loses his own soul? What can a man give to buy back his soul?

Pois que aproveita ao homem se ganhar o mundo inteiro e perder a sua vida? ou que dará o homem em troca da sua vida?

27 T he Son of Man will come in the greatness of His Father with His angels. Then He will give to every man his pay as he has worked.

Porque o Filho do homem há de vir na glória de seu Pai, com os seus anjos; e então retribuirá a cada um segundo as suas obras.

28 F or sure, I tell you, there are some standing here that will not die until they see the Son of Man coming as King.”

Em verdade vos digo, alguns dos que aqui estão de modo nenhum provarão a morte até que vejam vir o Filho do homem no seu reino.
