Chapter Sixteen

(1) Sages and Pharisees and Zadducees came, and tempted him by asking him to show them a single sign from heaven. (2) **** (3) **** Jesus said: "You know how to judge the face of the heavens and the earth, but you have not known what is ahead of you. You do not know how to test this time and thus you cannot discern the signs of the times. (4) The offspring of evildoers seek after a sign. And no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah the Prophet." And he left them, and walked away. (5) And when Jesus came to the sea shore he told his disciples to prepare bread. Then he entered a boat with his disciples, but the disciples forgot to take bread. (7)***(8) Jesus then said to them, "You have little understanding if you think you have no bread. (9) Don't you yet understand or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered up afterwards? (10) Don't you remember the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered up afterwards?" (10.1)[old 6] And Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." (10.2)[old 7] And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "Is it because we took no bread?" And when Jesus knew their thoughts, he said "What are you thinking, you of little faith, that it is because you have taken no bread that I say this? (11) How is it that you do not perceive that I am not talking to you concerning round loaves of bread? But beware of the teaching and behavior of the Pharisees and Sadducees." (12) Then they heard and understood that he asked them not to beware the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. (12.1) Jesus explained, "The Pharisee plans in advance. Before doing wrong, he slyly reasons everything out by making all manner of subtle excuse. Take care that you do not end up suffering the same fate as them. For the wicked of humanity receive judgment not only among the living, but also they will undergo punishment and much torment later." (13) Now when Jesus came into Caesarea Philippi, he asked one and all of his disciples, saying, "What do the sons of mankind say about me, the Son of Man? (14) And they said, "Some say you are John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets." (15) He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" (16) And Simon called Peter answered and said, "You are the Messiah, that is the Christ, the Son of the living God who has come into this world." (17) And Jesus answered and said to him, " Happy are you, Simon, Son of John for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but was revealed to you by my Father who is in heaven.
