1And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadduccees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.

2But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.

3And in the morning: Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?

4A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away.

5And when his disciples were come over the water, they had forgotten to take bread.

6Who said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

7But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread.

8And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread?

9Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

11Why do you not understand that it was not concerning the bread I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

12Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is?

14But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?

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

17And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

20Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.

21From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the ancients and scribes and chief priests, and be put to death, and the third day rise again.

22And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him, saying: Lord, be it far from thee, this shall not be unto thee.
