1The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tried to test him by asking for a sign from heaven.
4You want a sign because you are evil and won't believe! But the only sign you will be given is what happened to Jonah.
Then Jesus left.
The yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees(Mark 8.14-21)5The disciples had forgotten to bring any bread when they crossed the lake.
6Jesus then warned them, “Watch out! Guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7The disciples talked this over and said to each other, “He must be saying this because we didn't bring along any bread.”
8Jesus knew what they were thinking and said:
You don't have much faith! Why are you talking about not having any bread?
9Don't you understand? Have you forgotten about the five thousand people and all those baskets of leftovers from just five loaves of bread? or Jeremiah or some other prophet.”
15Then Jesus asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
16Simon Peter spoke up, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
17Jesus told him:
Simon, son of Jonah, you are blessed! You didn't discover this on your own. It was shown to you by my Father in heaven.
18So I will call you Peter, which means “a rock”. On this rock I will build my church, and death itself will not have any power over it.
19I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and God in heaven will allow whatever you allow on earth. But he will not allow anything that you don't allow.
20Jesus told his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Jesus speaks about his suffering and death(Mark 8.31—9.1; Luke 9.22-27)21From then on, Jesus began telling his disciples what would happen to him. He said, “I must go to Jerusalem. There the nation's leaders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law of Moses will make me suffer terribly. I will be killed, but three days later I will rise to life.”
22Peter took Jesus aside and told him to stop talking like that. He said, “God would never let this happen to you, Lord!”
23Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Satan, get away from me! You're in my way because you think like everyone else and not like God.”
24Then Jesus said to his disciples:
If any of you want to be my followers, you must forget about yourself. You must take up your cross and follow me. you will destroy it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find it.Mt 10.39; Lk 17.33; Jn 12.25.
26What will you gain, if you own the whole world but destroy yourself? What would you give to get back your soul?
27The Son of Man will soon come in the glory of his Father and with his angels to reward all people for what they have done.Mt 25.31; Ps 62.12; Ro 2.6.
28I promise you that some of those standing here will not die before they see the Son of Man coming with his kingdom.
