Matthew 16:5-20 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

5. The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.

6. Yeshua 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. Yeshua, 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, neither remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

10. Nor 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.

13. Now when Yeshua 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 Yochanan the Immerser, 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 Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

17. Yeshua 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, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Sheol 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 Yeshua the Messiah.
