Matthew 16

Matthew 16, Catholic Public Domain Version

1. And Pharisees and Sadducees approached him to test him, and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

   Et accesserunt ad eum pharisæi et sadducæi tentantes: et rogaverunt eum ut signum de cælo ostenderet eis.

2. 2

   But he responded by saying to them: “When evening arrives, you say, ‘It will be calm, for the sky is red,’

   At ille respondens, ait illis: Facto vespere dicitis: Serenum erit, rubicundum est enim cælum.

3. 3

   and in the morning, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.’ So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know the signs of the times?

   Et mane: Hodie tempestas, rutilat enim triste cælum.

4. 4

   An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind, he went away.

   Faciem ergo cæli dijudicare nostis: signa autem temporum non potestis scire? Generatio mala et adultera signum quærit: et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Jonæ prophetæ. Et relictis illis, abiit.

5. 5

   And when his disciples went across the sea, they forgot to bring bread.

   Et cum venissent discipuli ejus trans fretum, obliti sunt panes accipere.

6. 6

   And he said to them, “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

   Qui dixit illis: Intuemini, et cavete a fermento pharisæorum et sadducæorum.

7. 7

   But they were thinking within themselves, saying, “It is because we have not brought bread.”

   At illi cogitabant intra se dicentes: Quia panes non accepimus.

8. 8

   Then Jesus, knowing this, said: “Why do you consider within yourselves, O little in faith, that it is because you have no bread?

   Sciens autem Jesus, dixit: Quid cogitatis intra vos modicæ fidei, quia panes non habetis?

9. 9

   Do you not yet understand, nor remember, the five loaves among the five thousand men, and how many containers you took up?

   Nondum intelligitis, neque recordamini quinque panum in quinque millia hominum, et quot cophinos sumpsistis?

10. 10

    Or the seven loaves among the four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

    neque septem panum in quatuor millia hominum, et quot sportas sumpsistis?

11. 11

    Why do you not understand that it was not because of bread that I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees?”

    Quare non intelligitis, quia non de pane dixi vobis: Cavete a fermento pharisæorum et sadducæorum?

12. 12

    Then they understood that he was not saying that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

    Tunc intellexerunt quia non dixerit cavendum a fermento panum, sed a doctrina pharisæorum et sadducæorum.

13. 13

    Then Jesus went into parts of Caesarea Philippi. And he questioned his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that the Son of man is?”

    Venit autem Jesus in partes Cæsareæ Philippi: et interrogabat discipulos suos, dicens: Quem dicunt homines esse Filium hominis?

14. 14

    And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, still others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

    At illi dixerunt: Alii Joannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero Jeremiam, aut unum ex prophetis.

15. 15

    Jesus said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

    Dicit illis Jesus: Vos autem, quem me esse dicitis?

16. 16

    Simon Peter responded by saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

    Respondens Simon Petrus dixit: Tu es Christus, Filius Dei vivi.

17. 17

    And in response, Jesus said to him: “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven.

    Respondens autem Jesus, dixit ei: Beatus es Simon Bar Jona: quia caro et sanguis non revelavit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cælis est.

18. 18

    And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.†

    Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificabo Ecclesiam meam, et portæ inferi non prævalebunt adversus eam.

19. 19

    And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound, even in heaven. And whatever you shall release on earth shall be released, even in heaven.Ӡ

    Et tibi dabo claves regni cælorum. Et quodcumque ligaveris super terram, erit ligatum et in cælis: et quodcumque solveris super terram, erit solutum et in cælis.

20. 20

    Then he instructed his disciples that they should tell no one that he is Jesus the Christ.

    Tunc præcepit discipulis suis ut nemini dicerent quia ipse esset Jesus Christus.

21. 21

    From that time, Jesus began to reveal to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the elders and the scribes and the leaders of the priests, and to be killed, and to rise again on the third day.

    Exinde cœpit Jesus ostendere discipulis suis, quia oporteret eum ire Jerosolymam, et multa pati a senioribus, et scribis, et principibus sacerdotum, et occidi, et tertia die resurgere.

22. 22

    And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, “Lord, may it be far from you; this shall not happen to you.”†

    Et assumens eum Petrus, cœpit increpare illum dicens: Absit a te, Domine: non erit tibi hoc.

23. 23

    And turning away, Jesus said to Peter: “Get behind me, Satan; you are an obstacle to me. For you are not behaving according to what is of God, but according to what is of men.”

    Qui conversus, dixit Petro: Vade post me Satana, scandalum es mihi: quia non sapis ea quæ Dei sunt, sed ea quæ hominum.

24. 24

    Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If anyone is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

    Tunc Jesus dixit discipulis suis: Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam, et sequatur me.

25. 25

    For whoever would save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life for my sake, shall find it.

    Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet eam: qui autem perdiderit animam suam propter me, inveniet eam.

26. 26

    For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, yet truly suffers damage to his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

    Quid enim prodest homini, si mundum universum lucretur, animæ vero suæ detrimentum patiatur? aut quam dabit homo commutationem pro anima sua?

27. 27

    For the Son of man will arrive in the glory of his Father, with his Angels. And then he will repay each one according to his works.

    Filius enim hominis venturus est in gloria Patris sui cum angelis suis: et tunc reddet unicuique secundum opera ejus.

28. 28

    Amen I say to you, there are some among those standing here, who shall not taste death, until they see the Son of man arriving in his reign.”

    Amen dico vobis, sunt quidam de hic stantibus, qui non gustabunt mortem, donec videant Filium hominis venientem in regno suo.
