The Demand for a Sign
1And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to [him], asked him, tempting [him], to shew them a sign out of heaven.+ 2But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine weather, for the sky is red;+ 3and in the morning, A storm to-day, for the sky is red [and] lowering; ye know [how] to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot the signs of the times.+ 4A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas. And he left them and went away.+The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.+ 6And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.+ 7And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread.+ 8And Jesus knowing [it], said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread?+ 9Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took [up]?+ 10nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took [up]?+ 11How do ye not understand that [it was] not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?+ 12Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.+Peter’s Confession of Christ
Mark 8:27–30; Luke 9:18–20; John 6:67–71
13But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?+ 14And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets.+ 15He says to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am?+ 16And Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the livingGod.+ 17And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.+ 18And I also, I say unto thee that thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it.+ 19And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens.+ 20Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ.+
