1 Now|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330" and|strong="G2532" Sadducees|strong="G4523" came|strong="G4334" and|strong="G2532" tested|strong="G3985" Jesus|strong="G2532", asking|strong="G1905" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2532" show|strong="G1925" them|strong="G3588" a|strong="G2532" sign|strong="G4592" from|strong="G1537" heaven|strong="G3772".

5 When|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101" reached|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" other|strong="G4008" side|strong="G4008" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" sea|strong="G2532", they|strong="G2532" realized that|strong="G3588" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" forgotten|strong="G1950" to|strong="G1519" bring|strong="G2983" bread.
6 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588", “\+w Watch|strong="G4337"\+w* \+w out|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w beware|strong="G4337"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w leaven|strong="G2219"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Pharisees|strong="G5330"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Sadducees|strong="G4523"\+w*.”
7 So|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" discussed this|strong="G3588" among|strong="G1722" themselves|strong="G1438", saying|strong="G3004", “He|strong="G1161" must|strong="G3588" have|strong="G3748" said|strong="G3004" this|strong="G3588" because|strong="G3754" we|strong="G3754" brought|strong="G1161" no|strong="G3756" bread.”
8 Aware|strong="G1097" of|strong="G1722" this|strong="G3588", Jesus|strong="G2424" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3588", “\+w Why|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w are|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w discussing|strong="G1260"\+w* \+w among|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w yourselves|strong="G1438"\+w*, O \+w you|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w little|strong="G3640"\+w* \+w faith|strong="G3640"\+w*, \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w fact|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w brought|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w no|strong="G3756"\+w* bread?

12 Then|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" understood|strong="G4920" that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" told|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2532" beware|strong="G4337" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" leaven|strong="G2219" of|strong="G2532" bread, but|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" teaching|strong="G1322" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330" and|strong="G2532" Sadducees|strong="G4523".
13 Now|strong="G1161" when|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" came|strong="G2064" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" district|strong="G3313" of|strong="G5207" Caesarea|strong="G2542" Philippi|strong="G5376", he|strong="G1161" asked|strong="G2065" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101", “\+w Who|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w do|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w people|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w say|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1161"\+w*, \+w the|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w of|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w Man|strong="G5101"\+w*, \+w am|strong="G1510"\+w*?”

16 Simon|strong="G4613" Peter|strong="G4074" answered|strong="G3004", “Yoʋ are|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1161" Christ|strong="G5547", the|strong="G1161" Son|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" the|strong="G1161" living|strong="G2198" God|strong="G2316".”

20 Then|strong="G5119" he|strong="G3754" commanded|strong="G1291" his|strong="G3754" disciples|strong="G3101" to|strong="G2443" tell|strong="G3004" no|strong="G3367" one|strong="G3367" that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G3754" was|strong="G1510" Jesus|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" Christ|strong="G5547".
21 From|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" time|strong="G2250" Jesus|strong="G2424" began|strong="G5119" to|strong="G1519" show|strong="G1166" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101" that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" must|strong="G1163" go|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" Jerusalem|strong="G2414" and|strong="G2532" suffer|strong="G3958" many|strong="G4183" things|strong="G3588" at|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" hands of|strong="G2250" the|strong="G2532" elders|strong="G4245", chief|strong="G2532" priests, and|strong="G2532" scribes|strong="G1122", and|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" must|strong="G1163" be|strong="G2532" killed and|strong="G2532" on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" third|strong="G5154" day|strong="G2250" be|strong="G2532" raised|strong="G1453" up|strong="G1453".
22 So|strong="G2532" Peter|strong="G4074" took|strong="G4355" him|strong="G3588" aside|strong="G4355" and|strong="G2532" began to|strong="G2532" rebuke|strong="G2008" him|strong="G3588", saying|strong="G3004", “God|strong="G3004" forbid|strong="G2436", Lord|strong="G2962"!

23 But|strong="G1161" he|strong="G1161" turned|strong="G4762" around|strong="G3694" and|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" Peter|strong="G4074", “\+w Get|strong="G5217"\+w* \+w behind|strong="G3694"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*, \+w Satan|strong="G4567"\+w*!
