(Mark 8:11–13; Luke 12:54–56)
1
Then came the Pharises and Sadduces, and did tempt him, desiring him to shew them a signe from heauen.
2
But he answered, and said vnto them, When it is euening, ye say, Faire wether: for ye skie is red.
3
And in the morning ye say, To day shall be a tempest: for the skie is red and lowring. O hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the skie, and can ye not discerne the signes of the times?
4
The wicked generation, and adulterous seeketh a signe, but there shall no signe be giuen it, but that signe of the Prophet Ionas: so hee left them, and departed.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees

(Mark 8:14–21; Luke 12:1–3)
5
And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread with them.
6
Then Iesus said vnto them, Take heede and beware of the leauen of the Pharises and Sadduces.
7
And they reasoned among themselues, saying, It is because we haue brought no bread.
8
But Iesus knowing it, saide vnto them, O ye of litle faith, why reason you thus among your selues, because ye haue brought no bread?
9
Doe ye not yet perceiue, neither remember the fiue loaues, when there were fiue thousand men, and how many baskets tooke ye vp?
10
Neither the seuen loaues when there were foure thousande men, and howe many baskets tooke ye vp?
11
Why perceiue ye not that I said not vnto you concerning bread, that ye shoulde beware of the leauen of the Pharises and Sadduces?
12
Then vnderstood they that he had not said that they should beware of the leauen of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharises, and Sadduces.

Peter’s Confession of Christ

(Mark 8:27–30; Luke 9:18–20; John 6:67–71)
13
Nowe when Iesus came into the coastes of Cesarea Philippi, hee asked his disciples, saying, Whome doe men say that I, the sonne of man am?
14
And they said, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and others, Ieremias, or one of the Prophets.
15
He said vnto them, But whome say ye that I am?
16
Then Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art that Christ, the Sonne of the liuing God.
17
And Iesus answered, and saide to him, Blessed art thou, Simon, the sonne of Ionas: for flesh and blood hath not reueiled it vnto thee, but my Father which is in heauen.
18
And I say also vnto thee, that thou art Peter, and vpon this rocke I will builde my Church: and ye gates of hell shall not ouercome it.
19
And I will giue vnto thee the keyes of the kingdome of heauen, and whatsoeuer thou shalt binde vpon earth, shalbe bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heauen.
20
Then hee charged his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was Iesus that Christ.

Christ’s Passion Foretold

(Mark 8:31–33; Luke 9:21–22)
21
From that time foorth Iesus beganne to shewe vnto his disciples, that he must goe vnto Hierusalem, and suffer many thinges of the Elders, and of the hie Priestes, and Scribes, and be slaine, and be raised againe the thirde day.
22
Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, Master, pitie thy selfe: this shall not be vnto thee.
23
Then he turned backe, and said vnto Peter, Get thee behinde me, Satan: thou art an offence vnto me, because thou vnderstandest not the thinges that are of God, but the thinges that are of men.

Take Up Your Cross

(Mark 8:34–38; Luke 9:23–27)
24
Iesus then saide to his disciples, If any man will follow me, let him forsake himselfe: and take vp his crosse, and follow me.
25
For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake, shall finde it.
26
For what shall it profite a man though he should winne the whole worlde, if hee lose his owne soule? or what shall a man giue for recompence of his soule?
27
For the Sonne of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his Angels, and then shall he giue to euery man according to his deedes.
28
Verely I say vnto you, there bee some of them that stande here, which shall not taste of death, till they haue seene the Sonne of man come in his kingdome.
(Mark 8:11–13; Luke 12:54–56)
1
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2
But he answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’
3
In the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you can’t discern the signs of the times!
4
An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” He left them and departed.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees

(Mark 8:14–21; Luke 12:1–3)
5
The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
6
Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7
They reasoned among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”
8
Jesus, perceiving it, said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you have brought no bread?
9
Don’t you yet perceive or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up,
10
or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11
How is it that you don’t perceive that I didn’t speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12
Then they understood that he didn’t tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Peter’s Confession of Christ

(Mark 8:27–30; Luke 9:18–20; John 6:67–71)
13
Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
14
They said, “Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17
Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18
I also tell you that you are Peter, (a) and on this rock (b) I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades (c) will not prevail against it.
19
I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven.”
20
Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.

Christ’s Passion Foretold

(Mark 8:31–33; Luke 9:21–22)
21
From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22
Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”
23
But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men.”

Take Up Your Cross

(Mark 8:34–38; Luke 9:23–27)
24
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
25
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
27
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
28
Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”
