1Then came to him the pharisees with the sadducees also, and did tempt him, desiring that he would(him to) shew them some sign from heaven.

2He answered and said unto them: At even ye say, we shall have fair weather, and that because the sky is red:

3(And) In the morning: ye say, today shall be foul weather, and that because the sky is tremulous(cloudy) and red. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the fashion of the sky: and can ye not discern the signs of the times?

4The froward nation, and advoutrous, seeketh a sign: (and) there shall none other sign be given unto them, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. So left he them and departed.

5And when his disciples were come to the other side of the water, they had forgotten to take bread with them.

6Then Jesus said unto them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the pharisees, and of the sadducees.

7(And) They thought among(in) themselves saying: (because) we have brought no bread with us.

8When Jesus understood that,(perceived it) he said unto them. O ye of little faith, why are your minds cumbered because ye have brought no bread?

9Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember those five loaves, when there were five thousand men, and how many baskets took ye up?

10Neither the seven loaves, when there were four thousand:(iiiii. M.) and how many baskets took ye up?

11Why perceive ye not then, that I spake not unto you of bread, when I said, beware of the leaven of the pharisees and of the sadducees?

12Then understood they, how that he bade not them beware of the leaven of bread: but of the doctrine of the pharisees, and of the sadducees.

13When Jesus came into the coasts of the city which is called Cesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples saying: Whom do men say that I the son of man am?

14They said: Some say that thou art John baptist, some Helyas, some Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15He said unto them: But whom say ye that I am?

16Simon Peter answered, and said: Thou art Christ the son of the living God.

17And Jesus answered and said to him: Happy(Blessed) art thou Simon the son of Jonas, for flesh and blood have(hath) not opened unto thee that, but my father which is in heaven.

18And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter. And upon this rock I will build my congregation: and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19And I will give unto thee, the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever thou bindest upon earth, it shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou loosest(lowsest) on earth, it shall be loosed(lowsed) in heaven.

20Then he charged his disciples, that they should tell no man, that he was Jesus Christ.

21From that time forth, Jesus began to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the seniors,(elders) and of the high(hye) priests, and of the scribes, and must be killed, and rise again the third day.

22(But) Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him saying: Master favor thy self, this shall not come unto thee.

23Then turned he about, and said unto Peter: go(come) after me Satan, thou offendest me, because thou perceivest(favourest or savourest) not godly things: but worldly things.

24Jesus then said to his disciples. If any man will follow me, let him forsake himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

25For whosoever will save his life, shall loose it. And whosoever shall loose his life for my sake, shall find it.(loose, exact spelling; from the hebrew to open, may be also lose, or subdue)

26What shall it profit(What helpeth) a man, if(though) he should win all the whole world: so(if) he loose his own soul?(and yet suffer harm in his soul?) Or else what shall a man give to redeem his soul again withal?

27For the son of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his angels, and then shall he reward every man according to his deeds.

28Verily I say unto you, some there be among them that here stand, which shall not taste of death, till they shall have seen the son of man come in his kingdom.
