Matthew 16 - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

1 “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather; for the sky is red.’

3And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

4 and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.

19 to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men.”

24 Mt 10.38-39; Lk 14.27; 17.33; Jn 12.25. Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

25For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

26For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life?

27Mt 10.33; Lk 12.9; 1 Jn 2.28; Rom 2.6; Rev 22.12. For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done.

28Mt 10.23; 1 Cor 16.22; 1 Thess 4.15-18; Rev 1.7; Jas 5.7. Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
