Matthew 16 The Pharises also wt the Saduces, came and tempted him & desyred him that he wolde shewe them a sygne from heuen.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Pharises also wt the Saduces, came and tempted him & desyred him that he wolde shewe them a sygne from heuen. ² He answered and sayde vnto them: whan it begynneth to drawe toward euen, ye saye, it wylbe fayre wether, for the skye is reed? ³ And in the mornynge: It wylbe foule wether to daye, for the skye is glowmyng reed. O ye ypocrites, ye can discerne the outward appearaunce of the skye: but can ye not discerne the sygnes of the tymes? ⁴ The frowarde & aduoutrous nacyon requyreth a sygne, and there shall no sygne be geuen vnto it, but the sygne of the Prophet Ionas. And he lefte them, and departed. ⁵ And when his disciples were come to the other syde of the water, they had forgotten to take breed with them. ⁶ Then Iesus sayde vnto them. Take hede and beware of the leuen of the Pharises & of the Saduces. ⁷ And they thought in them selues saying: we haue taken no breed wt vs. ⁸ Which whan Iesus vnderstode, he sayd vnto them: O ye of lytell faith, why take ye thought within your selues, because ye haue brought no breed? ⁹ Do ye not yet perceaue, nether remember those .v. loaues, when there were .v.M. men, & how many baskettes toke ye vp? ¹⁰ Nether the .vii. loues when there were .iiii.M. men: & how many baskettes toke ye vp? ¹¹ how happeneth it that ye do not vnderstande, that I spake it not vnto you concernyng breed, that ye shulde beware of the leuen of the Pharises, & of the Saduces? ¹² Then vnderstode they, how that he bad not them beware of the leuen of breed: but of the doctrine of the Pharises, and of the Saduces. ¹³ When Iesus cam into the coastes of the cite which is called Cesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples sayinge whom do men saye that I the sonne of man am? ¹⁴ They sayde: some saye that thou art Iohn Baptist, some Helyas, some Ieremias, or one of the nombre of the prophetes. ¹⁵ He sayeth vnto them: but whom saye ye that I am? ¹⁶ Simon Peter answered & sayde: Thou art Christ the sone of the lyuynge God. ¹⁷ And Iesus answered, & sayde vnto hym: happy art thou Simon the sonne of Ionas, for fleshe & bloud hath not opened that vnto the but my father which is in heuen. ¹⁸ And I saye also vnto the that thou art Peter: & vpon this rocke I wil bylde my congregacion. And the gates of hell shal not preuayle agaynst it. ¹⁹ And I wil geue vnto the, the keyes of the kyngdom of heuen: And whatsoeuer thou byndest in erth, shall be bounde in heuen: & whatsoeuer thou loosest in erth, shalbe lowsed in heuen. ²⁰ Then charged he hys disciples, that they shulde tell no man, that he was Iesus Chris ²¹ From that tyme forth beganne Iesus to shewe vnto his disciples, how that he must go vnto Ierusalem, & suffer many thinges of the elders, & hye Prestes, & Scribes, & must be kylled, and be raysed agayne the thyrde daye. ²² And when Peter had taken him asyde, he began to rebuke him, saying: master, fauer thy selfe, this shal not happen vnto the: ²³ but he turned him aboute, and sayde vnto Peter: go after me Satan, thou hyndrest me: for thou sauourest not the thinges that be of God, but those that be of men. ²⁴ Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: If eny man wil folowe me, let him forsake him selfe & take vp his crosse, & folowe me ²⁵ For whoso wil saue his lyfe, shall loose it. Agayne, whoso doth lose his life for my sake, shall fynde it. ²⁶ For what doth it proffet a man, yf he wynne all the whole worlde: & lose hys awne soule? Or what shal a man geue to redeme his soule agayne with all? ²⁷ For the sonne of man shall come in the glory of his father, wt his angels: & then shall he rewarde euery man accordinge to his dedes. ²⁸ Uerely I saye vnto you, ther be stondinge here, which shall not tast of deeth, tyll they se the sonne of man come in hys kyngdome.
