One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus, demanding that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority.
One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus, demanding that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority.
The Demand for a Sign
The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
He replied, “You know the saying, ‘Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow;
He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’
A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away.
Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees
Later, after they crossed to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring any bread.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees
When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread.
When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread.
“Watch out!” Jesus warned them. “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
“Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
At this they began to argue with each other because they hadn’t brought any bread.
They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”
Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said, “You have so little faith! Why are you arguing with each other about having no bread?
Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread?
Don’t you understand even yet? Don’t you remember the 5,000 I fed with five loaves, and the baskets of leftovers you picked up?
Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
Or the 4,000 I fed with seven loaves, and the large baskets of leftovers you picked up?
Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread? So again I say, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’”
How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Then at last they understood that he wasn’t speaking about the yeast in bread, but about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
“Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.
Then he sternly warned the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Jesus Predicts His Death
From then on Jesusj began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead.

From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”
Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds.
For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
