Matthew 16:1-21:46 And coming the Pharisees and Sadducees, tempting they asked him, a sign from the heaven to show to them.

Diaglott⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And coming the Pharisees and Sadducees, tempting they asked him, a sign from the heaven to show to them. ² He but answering said to them: Evening coming, you say: Fair weather; reddens for the heaven. ³ And in the morning; To-day a storm; is red for lowering the heaven. Hypocrites, the truly face of the heaven you know to judge, the but signs of the times not can you? ⁴ A generation evil and adulterous a sign seeks; and a sign not shall be given to her, except the sign of Jonas the prophet. And leaving them, he went away. ⁵ And coming the disciples of him to the other side, had forgotten loaves to take. ⁶ The and Jesus said to them: Look and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. ⁷ They and reasoned among themselves saying: Because loaves not we have brought. ⁸ Knowing and the Jesus said: Why reason you among yourselves, O you weak of faith, because loaves not you have brought? ⁹ Not yet perceive you, nor remember you the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up? ¹⁰ Nor the seven loaves of the for thousand, and how many large baskets you took up? ¹¹ Why not do you perceive, that not about bread I spoke to you to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? ¹² Then they understood, that not he did say beware of the leaven of the bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. ¹³ Coming and the Jesus into the parts of Caesarea of the Philip, asked the disciples of him, saying: Who me say the men to be, the son of the man? ¹⁴ They and said: Some, John the dipper; others and, Elias; other and, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. ¹⁵ He says to them: You but who me say to be? ¹⁶ Answering and Simon Peter said:Thou art the Anointed, the son of the God the living. ¹⁷ And answering the Jesus said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonas; for flesh and blood not it has revealed to thee, but the Father of me, that in the heavens. ¹⁸ Also I and to thee say, that thou art a rock, and upon this the rock I will build of me the church, and gates of hades not shall prevail against her. ¹⁹ And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth, shall be bound in the heavens; and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth, shall be loosed in the heavens. ²⁰ Then he charged the disciples of him, that no one they should tell that he is the Anointed. ²¹ From that time began the Jesus to show to the disciples of him, that must he to go to Jerusalem, and many (things) to suffer from the elders and high-priests and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised. ²² And taking aside him the Peter, began to reprove him, saying: Be it far from thee, O lord; not not shall be to thee this. ²³ He but turning said to the Peter: Go thou behind of me, adversary; a stumbling block of me thou art; for not thou regardest the (things) of the God, but those of the men. ²⁴ Then the Jesus said to the disciples of him: If any one wish after me to come, let him deny himself, and let him bear the cross of him, and follow me. ²⁵ Whoever for may wish the life of him to save, shall lose her; whoever and may lose the life of him on account of me, shall find her. ²⁶ What for is profited a man if the world whole he may win, the and life of him he may forfeit? or what shall give a man in exchange for the life of him? ²⁷ Is about for the the son of the man to come in the glory of the Father of him, with the messengers of him, and then he will render to each one according to the behavior of him. ²⁸ Indeed I say to you, there are some of those here having stood, who not not shall taste of death, till they may see the son of the man coming in the royal majesty of him. ¹⁷ ¹ And after days six takes the Jesus the Peter, and James, and John the brother of him; and leads up them into a mountain high privately. ² And he was transfigured in the presence of them, and shone the face of him as the sun; the and garments of him become white as the light. ³ And lo, appeared to them Moses and Elias with him talking. ⁴ Answering and the Peter said to the Jesus: O lord, good it is us here to be; if thou wilt, we may make here three tents, to thee one, and Moses one, and one Elias. ⁵ Still of him speaking, lo, a cloud of light overshadowed them; and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is the son of me the beloved, in whom I delight; of him hear you. ⁶ And having heard the disciples, they fell upon face of them, and were frightened greatly. ⁷ And coming near the Jesus, touched them, and said: Be you raised, and not be afraid. ⁸ Lifting up then the eyes of them, no one they saw, except the Jesus alone. ⁹ And descending of them, from the mountain, charged them the Jesus, saying: To no one you may tell the vision, till the son of the man from dead (ones) should be raised. ¹⁰ And asked him the disciples of him, saying: Why then the scribes say, that Elias must to come first? ¹¹ The but Jesus answering said to them: Elias truly comes first, and shall restore all things; ¹² I say but to you, that Elias just now came, and not they knew him, but have done to him as much as they wished; thus also the son of the man is about to suffer by them. ¹³ Then understood the disciples, that concerning John the dipper he spoke to them. ¹⁴ And having come of them to the crowd, came to him a man, knee-falling him, ¹⁵ and saying: O lord, have pity on me the son; for he is moon-struck, and sadly suffers; often for he falls into the fire, and often into the water. ¹⁶ And I brought him to the disciples of thee, and not they were able him to heal. ¹⁷ Answering and the Jesus said: O generation unfaithful and having been perverted; till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring you to me him here. ¹⁸ And rebuked him the Jesus, and came out of him the demon; and was cured the boy from the hour that. ¹⁹ Then coming the disciples to the Jesus by himself, said: Why we not were able to cast out it? ²⁰ The and Jesus said to them: On account of the unbelief of you. Indeed for I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard, you will say to the mountain this. Be thou removed from here there, and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible to you. ²¹ This but the kind not goes out, if not in prayer and fasting. ²² Were traveling and of them in the Galilee, said to them the Jesus: Is about the son of the man to be delivered up into hands of men, ²³ and they will kill him; and the third day he will be raised. And they were grieved exceedingly. ²⁴ Having arrived and of them at Capernaum, came those the didrachmas receiving to the Peter, and said: The teacher of you not pays the didrachmas? ²⁵ He says: Yes. And when he was come into the house, anticipated him the Jesus, saying: Which to thee seems right, Simon? The kings of the earth from whom do they take taxes or census? from the sons of them, or from the aliens? ²⁶ Says to him the Peter: From the aliens. Says to him the Jesus: Then exempt are the sons. ²⁷ That but not we may offend them, going to the sea, cast thou a hook, and the ascending first fish take up; and opening the mouth of him, thou wilt find a stater; that taking, give to them for me and thee. ¹⁸ ¹ In that the hour came the disciples to the Jesus, saying: Who then greater is in the kingdom of the heaven? ² And having called the Jesus a little child placed it in midst of them, ³ and said: Indeed I say to you, if not you be changed and become as the little children, not not you may enter into the kingdom of the heavens. ⁴ Whoever therefore may humble himself as the little child this, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens. ⁵ And whoever may receive a little child such one on the name of me, me receives. ⁶ Who but ever may insnare one of the little-ones these, of the believing into me, it is appropriate to him, that should be hung a millstone upper on the neck of him, and he should be sunk in the depth of the sea. ⁷ Woe to the world from the snares. Necessary for it is to come the snares; but woe to the man to that through whom the snare comes. ⁸ If therefore the hand of thee or the foot of thee insnares thee, cut off them, and cast from thee; good to thee it is to enter into the life lame or a cripple, than two hands or two feet having to be cast into the fire the age-lasting. ⁹ And if the eye of thee insnares thee, tear out it, and cast from thee; good of thee it is one-eyed into the life to enter, than two eyes having to be cast into the Gehenna of the fire. ¹⁰ See, not you may despise one of the little-ones these; I say for to you that the messengers of them in heavens perpetually see the face of the Father of me, that in heavens. ¹¹ Is come for the son of the man to save the having been lost. ¹² What to you seems right? if should have any man a hundred sheep, and should go astray one from them; not leaving the ninety-nine upon the mountain, going he seeks that having strayed? ¹³ And if he should happen to find it, indeed I say to you, that he rejoices over it more, than over the nine-nine, those not having been led astray. ¹⁴ Thus not it is will in the presence of the Father of you of that in heavens, that should perish one of the little-ones of them. ¹⁵ If and should in error against thee the brother of thee, go, test him between thee and him alone. If thee he may hear thou hast won the brother of thee; ¹⁶ If but not he may hear, take with thee besides one or two; that by mouth two of witnesses or of three may be proved every word. ¹⁷ If and he should disregard them, tell thou to the congregation; if and also of the congregation he should disregard, let him be to thee as the Gentile and the tax-gather. ¹⁸ Indeed i say to you, whatever you may bind on the earth, shall be having been bound in the heaven; and whatever you may loose on the earth, shall be having been loosed in the heaven. ¹⁹ Again I say to you, that if two of you may agree upon the earth, about any matter, whatever they may ask, it shall be to them from the Father of me, of that in heavens. ²⁰ Where for are two or three having come together in the my name, there i am in the midst of them. ²¹ Then coming to him the Peter, said: O lord, how often shall sin against me the brother of me, and I shall forgive him? till seven times? ²² Says to him the Jesus: Not I say to thee, till seven times, but till seventy times seven. ²³ Therefore this has been compared the kingdom of the heavens to a man king, who wished to settle an account with the slaves of him. ²⁴ Having begun and of him to settle, they brought to him one a debtor of ten thousand talents. ²⁵ Not having but of him to pay, ordered him the lord of him to be sold, and the wife of him, and the children, and all as much as he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶ Falling down therefore the slave he prostrated to him, saying: O lord, have patience with me, and all to thee I will pay. ²⁷ being moved with pity then the lord of the slave of that, loosed him, and the debt remitted to him. ²⁸ Going out but the slave that, found one of the fellow-slaves of him, who owned to him a hundred denarii; and seizing him he coked him, saying: Pay to me if any thing thou owest. ²⁹ Falling down therefore the fellow-slave of him, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and all I will pay to thee. ³⁰ He and not he would; but going away he cast him into prison, till he should pay that he was owing. ³¹ Seeing and the fellow-slaves of him that having been done, were grieved much; and going they related to the lord of them all that having been done. ³² Then having called him the lord of him, says to him: O slave wicked, all the debt that I remitted to thee, because thou besought me; ³³ not was it binding also thee to have pitied the fellow slave of thee, as also I thee pitied? ³⁴ And being provoked the lord of him delivered him to the jailors, till he may pay all that owing to him. ³⁵ So also the Father of me the heavenly will do to you if not you forgive each one the brother of him from the hearts of you. ¹⁹ ¹ And it came to pass, when ended the Jesus the words these, he departed from the Galilee, and came into the confines of the Judea, beyond the Jordan. ² And followed him crowds great; and he healed them there. ³ And came to him the Pharisees, trying him, and saying to him: If it is lawful to a man to release the wife of him upon every cause? ⁴ He and answering said to them: Not have you read, that the Creator from a beginning a male and a female he made them? ⁵ and said: On account of this shall leave a man the father and the mother, and shall be closely united to the wife of him; and shall be the two into flesh one. ⁶ So that no longer they are two, but flesh one. What then the God has joined together, a man not disunites. ⁷ They say to him: Why then Moses did enjoin to give a scroll of separation, and to release her? ⁸ He says to them: That Moses for the hardness of heart of you suffered you to release the wives of you; from a beginning but not it was so. ⁹ I say but to you, that whoever may release the wife of him, except for fornication, and may marry another, commits adultery; and he her being released marrying, commits adultery. ¹⁰ They say to him the disciples of him: If thus is the case of the man with woman, not it is profitable to marry. ¹¹ He but said to them: Not all admit the word this, but to whom it has been given. ¹² There are for eunuchs, who from womb of mother were born so; and there are eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by the men; and there are eunuchs, who made eunuchs themselves on account of the kingdom of the heavens. He being able to admit, let him admit. ¹³ Then were brought to him little children that the hands he might lay on them, and he might pray; the but the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ The and Jesus said: Suffer the little children and not hinder them to come to me; of the for such like is the kingdom of the heavens. ¹⁵ And laying on them the hands, he departed thence. ¹⁶ And lo, one coming, said to him: O teacher good, what good must I do, that I may have life age-lasting? ¹⁷ He and he said to him: Why me askest thou concerning the good? one is the good. If but thou wishest to enter into the life, keep strictly the commandments. ¹⁸ He says to him: Which? The and Jesus said: This; Not thou shalt kill; Not thou shalt commit adultery; Not thou shalt steal; Not thou shall testify falsely; ¹⁹ Honor the father and the mother; and Thou shalt love the neighbor of thee as thyself. ²⁰ Says to him the young man: All these I kept from childhood of me; what more do I want? ²¹ Said to him the Jesus: If thou wishest perfect to be, go, sell of thee the possessions, and give to poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and hither, follow me. ²² Having heard and the young man the word, went away sorrowing; he was for having possessions many. ²³ The and Jesus said to the disciples of himself: Indeed I say to you, that with difficulty a rich man shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens. ²⁴ Again and I say to you, easier it is a camel through a hole of needle to pass, than a rich man into the kingdom of the God to enter. ²⁵ Having heard and the disciples, were amazed exceedingly, saying: Who then is able to be saved? ²⁶ Looking but the Jesus said to him: With man this impossible is; with but God all possible. ²⁷ Then answering the Peter said to him: Lo, we left all, and followed thee; what then shall be to us? ²⁸ The and Jesus said to them: Indeed I say to you, that you the having followed me, in the new birth day when may sit the son of the man upon a throne of glory of him, shall sit also you upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of the Israel. ²⁹ And all who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, on account of the name of me, a hundred fold shall receive, and life age-lasting shall inherit. ³⁰ Many but shall be first, last and last first. ²⁰ ¹ Like for is the kingdom of the heavens to a man a householder, who went out with morning to hire laborers into the vineyard of him. ² Having agreed and with the laborers for a denarius the day, he sent him into the vineyard of him. ³ And going out about third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle; ⁴ and to them he said: Go and you into the vineyard; and whatever may be just, I will give you. They and went away. ⁵ Again going out about sixth and ninth hour, he did in like manner. ⁶ About and the eleventh hour going out, he found others standing, and he says to them: Why here stood you all the day idle? ⁷ They say to him: Because no one us hired. He says to them: Go also you into the vineyard; and whatever maybe just, you shall receive. ⁸ Evening and having come on, says the lord of the vineyard to the steward of him: Call the laborers, and give to them the hire, beginning from the last, till the first. ⁹ And having come those about the eleventh hour, received each a denarius. ¹⁰ Having then those first, supposed, that more they shall receive; and received also they each a denarius. ¹¹ Having received but they murmured against the householder, ¹² saying: That these the last one hour worked, and equal to us them thou hast made, to the having endured the burden of the day, and the burning heat. ¹³ He but answering said to one of them: Friend, not I wrong thee; not of a denarius didst thou agree to me? ¹⁴ Take thee thine and go, I wish and to this the last to give as also of thee. ¹⁵ Or not is it lawful to me to do what I will with the my own? or the eye of thee evil is, because I good am? ¹⁶ Thus shall be the last, first; and the first, last. Many for are called, few but chosen. ¹⁷ And going up the Jesus to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples privately in the way, and said to them: ¹⁸ Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the son of the man will be delivered up to the high-priests and scribes; and they will condemn him to death, ¹⁹ and they will deliver up him to the Gentiles for the to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify; and in the third day he will stand up. ²⁰ Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with the sons of her, prostrating, and asking something from him. ²¹ He and said to her: What wilt thou? She says to him: Say that may sit these the two sons of me, one at right of thee, and one at left of thee, in the kingdom of thee. ²² Answering but the Jesus said: Not you know, what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup, which I am about to drink? They say to him: We are able. ²³ And he says to them: The indeed cup of me you shall drink; the but to sit at right of me and at left of me, not is mine to give, but to whom it has been prepared by the Father of me. ²⁴ And having heard the ten, were angry on account of the two brothers. ²⁵ The but Jesus, having called them, said: You know, that the rulers of the nations domineer over them. Not thus great exercise authority over them. ²⁶ Not thus it shall be among you; but whoever may wish among you great to become, let him be of you servant; ²⁷ and whoever may wish among you to be first, let him be of you a slave; ²⁸ even as the son of the man not came to be served but to serve, and to give the life of him a ransom for many. ²⁹ And departing of them from Jericho, followed him a crowd great. ³⁰ And lo, two blind men, sitting by the way, hearing that Jesus passes by, cried out, saying: Pity us, O lord, son of David. ³¹ The and crowd reproved them, that they might be silent. They but more did cry out, saying: Pity us, O lord, son of David. ³² And having stopped the Jesus he called them, and said: What do you wish I should do to you? ³³ They say to him: O lord, that may be opened of us the eyes. ³⁴ Being moved with pity and the Jesus, he touched the eyes of them; and immediately saw again of them the eyes; and they followed him. ²¹ ¹ And when they were nigh to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage by the mountain of the olive-trees, then the Jesus sent away two disciples, saying to them: ² You may go to the village the over against you, and immediately you will find an ass having been bound, and a foal with her; having loosed bring to me. ³ And if any (one) to you should say any (thing), you shall say: That the lord of them need has; immediately and he will need them. ⁴ This and all has been done, that might be fulfilled the word spoken through the prophets, saying: ⁵ Say to the daughter of Zion: Lo, the king of thee comes to thee meek, and having been set on an ass, even a foal a son of a beast of burden. ⁶ Having gone and the disciples, and having done as commanded to them the Jesus, ⁷ they led the ass and the foal, and they placed upon them the mantles of them; and they caused to sit on (one) of them. ⁸ The and greater crowd spread of themselves the mantles in the way; others and cut off branches from the trees, and scattered in the way. ⁹ The and crowds those going before and those following did cry, saying: Hosanna to the son of David; worthy of blessing he coming in name of Lord; hosanna in the highest. ¹⁰ And having entered of them into Jerusalem, was moved all the city, saying: Who is this? ¹¹ The and crowds said: This is Jesus the prophet, that from Nazareth of the Galilee. ¹² And entered the Jesus into the temple of the God, and cast out all the selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money changers overturned, and the seats of the selling the doves; ¹³ and he says to them: It is written The house of me, a house of prayer shall be called; you but it have made a den of robbers. ¹⁴ And came to him blind and lame in the temple, and he healed them. ¹⁵ Having seen but the high-priests and the scribes the wonders, which he did, and the boys crying in the temple, and saying: Hosanna to the son of David; they were angry, ¹⁶ and said to him: Hearest thou what these are saying? The and Jesus says them: Yes; Never have you read: That out of mouth of babes and of suckling (ones) thou has perfected praise? ¹⁷ And having left them, he went out of the city into Bethany, and he lodged there ¹⁸ Early but, returning into the city, he was hungry. ¹⁹ And seeing a fig-tree one by the way, he came to her, and nothing found in her except leaves alone; and he says to her: No more by thee fruit may be produced to the age. And withered immediately the fig-tree. ²⁰ And seeing the disciples wondered, saying: How soon withered the fig-tree? ²¹ Answering and the Jesus said to them: Indeed I say to you, if you may have faith, and not should doubt, not only the (miracle) of the fig-tree you shall do, but also if to the mountain this you should say: Be thou lifted up, and be cast into the sea; it shall be done. ²² And all, whatever you shall ask in the prayer, believing you shall receive. ²³ And having come to him into the temple, came to him teaching the high-priests and the elders of the people, saying: By what authority these (things) doest thou? and who to thee gave the authority this? ²⁴ Answering and the Jesus said to them: I will ask you also I word one; which if you may say to me, also I to you will tell, by what authority these (things) I do; ²⁵ the dipping of John whence was? from heaven, or from men? They and reasoned among themselves, saying: If we should say, from heaven; he will say to us: Why then not did you believe to him? ²⁶ if but we should say from men; we fear the crowd; all for hold the John as a prophet. ²⁷ And they answering to the Jesus said: Not we know. Said to them and he: Neither I say to you by what authority these (things) I do. ²⁸ What but to you seems right? A man had children two; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go, to-day work in the vineyard of me. ²⁹ He and answering said: Not I will; afterward but having changed his mind, he went. ³⁰ And coming to the other, he said just the same. He and answering said: I lord, and not went. ³¹ Who of the two did the will of the father? They say to him: The first. Says to them the Jesus: Indeed I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots go before you in the kingdom of the God. ³² Came for to you John in a way of righteousness, and not you believed him; the but tax-gatherers and the harlots believed him; you and seeing not repented afterwards, of the to believe him. ³³ Another parable hear you; a man was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and a hedge to it placed around, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower; and let out it to husbandmen, and went abroad. ³⁴ When and drew near the time of the fruits, he sent the slaves of him, to the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it. ³⁵ And having taken the husbandmen the slaves of him, him indeed they flayed, him and they killed, him and they pelted with stones. ³⁶ Again he sent other slaves, greater the first; and they did to them in like manner. ³⁷ Afterwards and he sent to them the son of him, saying: They will regard the son of me. ³⁸ The but husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir; come, we may kill him, and may retain the inheritance of him. ³⁹ And having taken him, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed. ⁴⁰ When therefore may come the lord of the vineyard, what will he do to the husbandmen to those? ⁴¹ They say to him: Wretches wretchedly destroy them; and the vineyard will let out to other husbandmen, who will render to him the fruits in the seasons of them. ⁴² He says to them the Jesus: Never have you read in the writings: A stone which rejected they building, the same was made into a head of a corner; from Lord was this, and it is wonderful in eyes of us? ⁴³ On account of this I say to you, that shall be taken from you the kingdom of the God, and shall be given to a nation making the fruits of her. ⁴⁴ And he falling on the stone this, shall be broken; on whom but it shall fall, it will crush to pieces him. ⁴⁵ And having heard the high-priests and the Pharisees the parables of him, knew, that about them he says. ⁴⁶ And seeking him to seize, they feared the crowds; since as a prophet him they held.
