Matthew 16:7-23 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “Because we brought no bread!”

8. But יהושע, aware of this, said to them, “O you of little belief, why do you reason among yourselves because you brought no bread?

9. “Do you still not understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you picked up?

10. “Or the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you picked up?

11. “How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, but to beware of the leaven of the 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 Pharisees and the Sadducees.

13. Now when יהושע came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His taught ones, saying, “Who do men say the Son of Aḏam is?”

14. And they said, “Some say Yoḥanan the Immerser, and others Ěliyahu, and others Yirmeyahu or one of the prophets.”

15. He said to them, “And you, who do you say I am?”

16. And Shim‛on Kĕpha answering, said, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim.”

17. And יהושע answering, said to him, “Blessed are you, Shim‛on Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.

18. “And I also say to you that you are Kĕpha, and on this rock I shall build My assembly, and the gates of the grave shall not overcome it.

19. “And I shall give you the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever you bind on earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever you loosen on earth shall be having been loosened in the heavens.”

20. Then He warned His taught ones that they should say to no one that He is יהושע the Messiah.

21. From that time יהושע began to show to His taught ones that it was necessary for Him to go to Yerushalayim, and to suffer much from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and to be raised again the third day.

22. And Kĕpha took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, Master, this shall not be to You!”

23. But He turned and said to Kĕpha, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to Me, for your thoughts are not those of Elohim, but those of men.”
