Sadducees came to him, and, to make trial of
him, desired him to shew them a sign from heaven. (2)And he answering,
said unto them, When evening comes, ye say, Fair weather, for the sky
is red. (3)And in the morning, It will be tempestuous to-day, for the
sky is gloomy and fiery red. Ye hypocrites, do ye know how to discern
the appearance of the sky, and are ye unable to discern the signs of
the times? (4)A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh a sign; and no
sign shall be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he
left them, and departed.

(5)And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had
forgotten to take bread. (6)Then Jesus said to them, Beware and abstain
from the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. (7)So they
reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have not taken
bread. (8)But when Jesus knew it, he said unto them, Why are ye
reasoning among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have not
taken bread? (9)Do you not consider, nor remember the five loaves among
the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? (10)Nor the seven
loaves among the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
(11)How is it that ye do not understand, that I spake not to you of
bread, to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
(12)Then understood they, that he spake about abstaining not from the
leaven in the bread, but from the doctrine of the Pharisees and the
Sadducees.

(13)Then Jesus coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, questioned
his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am? The Son of Man?
(14)But they replied, Some, that thou art John the Baptist; but others,
Elias; and others again, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. (15)He saith
unto them, But who do ye say that I am? (16)Then Simon Peter answering
said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God. (17)And Jesus
replying, said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and
blood hath not revealed this to thee, but my Father, who is in heaven.
(18)And I tell thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I
build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
(19)And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and
whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
(20)Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no man that
he was Jesus the Messiah.
