CHAP. XVI.

1 The Pharises require a token. 6 Iesus warneth his disci∣ples of the Pharises doctrine. 16 The confession of Peter 19 The keyes of heauē. 24 The faithfull must heare the crosse. 25 To winne or lose the life. 27 Christs cōming.* 1.1

1 THen * came thea 1.2 Pharises and Sadduces,* 1.3 and didb 1.4 tempt (hym,) desirynge hym to* 1.5 shewe them asigne from heauen.

2 But he answered, and said vnto them, When it is euenyng, ye say, Fayre wether: for the skie is red.

3 And in the morning (ye say,) To day (shalbe) a tempeste: for the skie is red and lowryng. O hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the skie, and can ye not (discerne) thec 1.6 si∣gnes of the times?

4 *The wicked generacion, and adulterous* 1.7 seketh a signe, and there shal no signe be gi∣uen it, but thed 1.8 signe of the Prophet* Ionas: so he left them, and departed.

5 ¶ And when his disciples were come to the* 1.9 other side, they had * forgottē to take bread* 1.10 (with them.)* 1.11

6 Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Take hede and beware of the leauen of the Pharises and Sad duces.

7 And they“ 1.12 thoght in them selues, saying, (It is) because we haue broght no bread.

8 But Iesuse 1.13 knowing it, said vnto them, O ye of litle faith, why thinke you (thus) in your selues, because ye haue broght no bread?

9 Do ye not yet perceiue, nether remember* 1.14 the fiue loaues, when there were *fiue* 1.15 thou∣sand (mē,) & how manie baskets toke ye vp?

10 Nether the seuen loaues when there were* 1.16 * foure thousand (men,) and how manie bas∣kets toke ye vp?

11 Why perceiue ye not that I said not vnto you concerning bread, that ye shuld be ware of the leauen of the Pharises, and Sadduces?

12 Then vnderstode they that he had not sayd that they shulde beware of the leauen of bread, but of thef 1.17 doctrine of the Pharises, and Sadduces.

13 ¶ *Now when Iesus came into the coastes of Cesarea Philippi, he asked hys disciples, saying, Whome do men say that I, the Sonne of man am?

14 And they said, Some (say,) Iohn Baptist, and some, Elias: and others, Ieremias, or one of* 1.18 the Prophetes.* 1.19

15 He said vnto them, But whome saye ye that I am?

16 Then Simon Peter answered, and sayd,** 1.20 Thou art the Christ the Sonne of the liuyng God.

17 And Iesus answered, and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simō, the sonne of Ionas: forg 1.21 flesh* 1.22 and blood hathe not reueiled it vnto thee, but my Father which is in heauen.

18 And I say also vnto thee, that thou art* Pe∣ter, and vponh 1.23 this rocke I will buylde my Church: and thei 1.24 gates of hell shal not* 1.25 ouer∣come it.

19 k 1.26 And I* will giue thee the keyes of the kingdome of heauen, and whatsoeuer thou shaltl 1.27 binde vpon earth, shalbe bound in hea uen: & whosoeuer thou shalt“ 1.28 lose on earth, shalbe losed in heauen.

20 Then he charged hys disciples, that they shuldem 1.29 tell no man that he was Iesus the Christ.

21 ¶n 1.30 From that tyme forthe Iesus began to shewe vnto his disciples, that he must go vn∣to Ierusalem, and suffer manie things of the Elders, and of the hie Priests, and Scribes, ād be slaine, and rise againe the thirde day.

22 Then Peter toke hym aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, Master, pitie thy self: this shal not be vnto thee.

23 Then he turned backe, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 vnto Peter, Get thëe behinde me,o 1.31 Satan: thou art an of∣fence vnto me, because thou vnderstandest not the things that are of God, but the thin∣ges that are of men.

24 Iesus then said to his disciples, *If any man* 1.32 wil followe me, let him forsake him self, and* 1.33 take vp his crosse, and followe me.* 1.34

25 For* whosoeuer wilp 1.35 saue his life, shal lose* 1.36 it: and whosoeuer shall lose his life for my* 1.37 sake, shal finde it.* 1.38* 1.39

26 * 1.40 For what shall it profite a man thogh he* 1.41 shuld winne the whole worlde, if he lose his owne soule? or what shall a man giue for re∣compense of his soule?

27 For the Sonne of man shal come in the glo∣rie of his Father with his Angels, and* 1.42 then shal he giue to euerie man accordyng to his dedes.

28 * 1.43Verely I saye vnto you, there be some of them that stand here, which shal not taste of death,q 1.44 till they haue sene the Sonne of man come in his kingdome.* 1.45
