Matthew 16

The Pharisees and Sadducees Test Jesus

16 (A)And the (B)Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him, they (C)asked Him to show them [a]a sign from heaven. 2 But He replied to them, “[b](D)When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ (E)Do you know how to discern the [c]appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? 4 (F)An evil and adulterous generation eagerly seeks for [d]a sign; and [e]a sign will not be given it, except the [f]sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.

5 And coming to the other side of the sea, the disciples had forgotten to bring bread. 6 And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and (G)beware of the [g]leaven of the (H)Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7 Now they began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “He said that because we did not bring bread.” 8 But Jesus, aware of this, said, “(I)You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread? 9 Do you not yet understand or remember (J)the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets full you picked up? 10 Or (K)the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large baskets full you picked up? 11 How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But (L)beware of the [h]leaven of the (M)Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the (N)Pharisees and Sadducees.

Peter Confesses Jesus Is the Christ

13 (O)Now when Jesus came into the district of (P)Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, saying, “Who do people say that (Q)the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say (R)John the Baptist; and others, [i](S)Elijah; but still others, [j]Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15 He *said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, “You are [k](T)the Christ, (U)the Son of (V)the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, (W)Simon [l]Bar-Jonah, because (X)flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are [m](Y)Peter, and upon this [n]rock I will build My church; and the gates of (Z)Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you (AA)the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and (AB)whatever you bind on earth [o]shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth [p]shall have been loosed in heaven.” 20 (AC)Then He [q]warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the [r](AD)Christ.

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

21 (AE)From that time [s]Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and (AF)suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. 22 And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “[t]God forbid it, Lord! This shall never [u]happen to You.” 23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, (AG)Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on [v]God’s interests, but man’s.”

Take Up Your Cross

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and (AH)take up his cross and follow Me. 25 For (AI)whoever wishes to save his [w]life will lose it; but whoever loses his [x]life for My sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the (AJ)Son of Man (AK)is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and (AL)will then [y]repay each one according to his [z]deeds.

28 “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the (AM)Son of Man (AN)coming in His kingdom.”

Matteus 16
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)

De religiösa ledarna vill se ett tecken från Gud

(Mark 8:11-13; Luk 12:54-56)

16 Fariseerna och saddukeerna kom fram till Jesus för att sätta honom på prov och bad honom att han skulle visa dem ett tecken från himlen. 2 Men han svarade: ”Ni har lätt för att avläsa de tecken ni ser på himlen: Om himlen är röd på kvällen, vet ni att det blir vackert väder, 3 och om himlen är röd och mulen på morgonen, vet ni att det snart blir oväder. Ni kan tolka himlens tecken men inte tidens. 4 Detta onda och trolösa släkte söker efter ett tecken, men det enda tecken de ska få är Jona-tecknet.[a]” Sedan lämnade Jesus dem och gick därifrån.

Jesus varnar för falsk undervisning

(Mark 8:14-21)

5 När de var på väg över till andra sidan sjön hade lärjungarna glömt att ta med sig bröd. 6 Jesus sa då till dem: ”Akta er noga för fariseernas och saddukeernas surdeg.” 7 Lärjungarna diskuterade med varandra: ”Vi har ju inte tagit med oss något bröd.”

8 När Jesus märkte det sa han till dem: ”Så lite tro ni har! Varför diskuterar ni att ni inte har något bröd? 9 Förstår ni fortfarande ingenting? Kommer ni inte ihåg de fem bröden för mer än 5 000 personer, och hur många korgar ni fick över? 10 Och de sju bröden för mer än 4 000 personer, och hur många korgar ni fick över då? 11 Hur kan ni tro att jag talade om bröd? Men akta er för fariseernas och saddukeernas surdeg.”

12 Då förstod de att han inte menade bröd utan fariseernas och saddukeernas undervisning.

Petrus kallar Jesus för Messias

(Mark 8:27-30; Luk 9:18-21)

13 När Jesus kom till området kring Caesarea Filippi[b] frågade han sina lärjungar: ”Vem säger människorna att Människosonen är?” 14 De svarade: ”Somliga säger Johannes döparen, några säger Elia och andra Jeremia eller någon annan av profeterna.”

15 Då frågade han dem: ”Vem säger ni att jag är?” 16 Simon Petrus svarade: ”Du är Messias, den levande Gudens Son.”

17 ”Du är lycklig, Simon, Jonas son”, sa Jesus, ”för min Fader i himlen, och inte någon människa av kött och blod, har visat detta för dig. 18 Jag säger dig att du är Petrus[c], och på den klippan ska jag bygga min församling. Inte ens dödsrikets portar ska kunna besegra den. 19 Jag ska ge dig nycklarna in till himmelriket. Allt du binder på jorden blir bundet i himlen och allt du löser på jorden blir löst i himlen.[d]”

20 Sedan förbjöd han sina lärjungar att berätta för någon att han var Messias.

Jesus förutsäger för första gången att han ska dö

(Mark 8:31-33; Luk 9:22)

21 Efter det började Jesus tala öppet med sina lärjungar om att han måste gå till Jerusalem och lida mycket genom folkets ledare och översteprästerna och de skriftlärda, bli dödad och uppstå på den tredje dagen.

22 Petrus drog honom åt sidan och började tillrättavisa honom och sa: ”Nej, Herre! Det här ska aldrig hända dig!”

23 Men Jesus vände sig om och sa till Petrus: ”Gå bort ifrån mig, Satan! Du försöker få mig på fall, för det du tänker är människotankar och kommer inte från Gud.”

Lärjungeskapets krav

(Mark 8:34—9:1; Luk 9:23-27)

24 Sedan sa Jesus till sina lärjungar: ”Om någon vill följa mig, måste han förneka sig själv, ta sitt kors och följa mig. 25 Den som vill rädda sitt liv ska mista det, men den som mister sitt liv för min skull ska finna det. 26 Vad vinner en människa om hela världen blir hennes, om hon samtidigt mister sitt liv? Vad kan hjälpa henne att få det tillbaka? 27 Människosonen ska komma i sin Faders härlighet med sina änglar och döma varje människa för vad hon har gjort. 28 Sannerligen säger jag er: några av er som står här kommer inte att dö förrän de har sett Människosonen komma med sitt rike.[e]”

New International Version

The Demand for a Sign(A)

16 The Pharisees and Sadducees(B) came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.(C)

2 He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.[a](D) 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”(E) Jesus then left them and went away.

The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees

5 When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. 6 “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”(F)

7 They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”

8 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith,(G) why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(H) 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(I) 11 How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.(J)

Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(K)

13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(L) others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”(M)

15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”(N)

17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood,(O) but by my Father in heaven.(P) 18 And I tell you that you are Peter,[b](Q) and on this rock I will build my church,(R) and the gates of Hades[c] will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys(S) of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be[d] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[e] loosed in heaven.”(T) 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone(U) that he was the Messiah.

Jesus Predicts His Death(V)

21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem(W) and suffer many things(X) at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(Y) and that he must be killed(Z) and on the third day(AA) be raised to life.(AB)

22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”

23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan!(AC) You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.(AD) 25 For whoever wants to save their life[f] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.(AE) 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man(AF) is going to come(AG) in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.(AH)

28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
