Foundational Scripture

Matthew 16:18

"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

 
Pharisees Test Jesus
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 But He replied to them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 “And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? 4 “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.
5 And the disciples came to the other side of the sea, but they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6 And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7 They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “He said that because we did not bring any bread.” 8 But Jesus, aware of this, said, “You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread? 9 “Do you not yet understand or remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets full you picked up? 10 “Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large baskets full you picked up? 11 “How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But 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 Sadducees.
Peter’s Confession of Christ
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still 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 Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 “I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” 20 Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.

Jesus Foretells His Death

21 From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. 22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You.” 23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.”

Discipleship Is Costly

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. 25 “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 “For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.   28 “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

Matthew 16 German: Luther (1912)

"Und ich sage dir auch: Du bist Petrus, und auf diesen Felsen will ich bauen meine Gemeinde, und die Pforten der Hölle sollen sie nicht überwältigen"

 

1 Da traten die Pharisäer und Sadduzäer zu ihm; die versuchten ihn und forderten, daß er sie ein Zeichen vom Himmel sehen ließe. 2 Aber er antwortete und sprach: Des Abends sprecht ihr: Es wird ein schöner Tag werden, denn der Himmel ist rot; 3 und des Morgens sprecht ihr: Es wird heute Ungewitter sein, denn der Himmel ist rot und trübe. Ihr Heuchler! über des Himmels Gestalt könnt ihr urteilen; könnt ihr denn nicht auch über die Zeichen dieser Zeit urteilen? 4 Diese böse und ehebrecherische Art sucht ein Zeichen; und soll ihr kein Zeichen gegeben werden denn das Zeichen des Propheten Jona. Und er ließ sie und ging davon.

5 Und da seine Jünger waren hinübergefahren, hatten sie vergessen, Brot mit sich zu nehmen. 6 Jesus aber sprach zu ihnen: Sehet zu und hütet euch vor dem Sauerteig der Pharisäer und Sadduzäer! 7 Da dachten sie bei sich selbst und sprachen: Das wird's sein, daß wir nicht haben Brot mit uns genommen. 8 Da das Jesus merkte, sprach er zu ihnen: Ihr Kleingläubigen, was bekümmert ihr euch doch, daß ihr nicht habt Brot mit euch genommen? 9 Vernehmet ihr noch nichts? Gedenket ihr nicht an die fünf Brote unter die fünftausend und wie viel Körbe ihr da aufhobt? 10 auch nicht an die sieben Brote unter die viertausend und wie viel Körbe ihr da aufhobt? 11 Wie, versteht ihr denn nicht, daß ich euch nicht sage vom Brot, wenn ich sage: Hütet euch vor dem Sauerteig der Pharisäer und Sadduzäer! 12 Da verstanden sie, daß er nicht gesagt hatte, daß sie sich hüten sollten vor dem Sauerteig des Brots, sondern vor der Lehre der Pharisäer und Sadduzäer.

13 Da kam Jesus in die Gegend der Stadt Cäsarea Philippi und fragte seine Jünger und sprach: Wer sagen die Leute, daß des Menschen Sohn sei? 14 Sie sprachen: Etliche sagen, du seist Johannes der Täufer; die andern, du seist Elia; etliche du seist Jeremia oder der Propheten einer. 15 Er sprach zu ihnen: Wer sagt denn ihr, daß ich sei? 16 Da antwortete Simon Petrus und sprach: Du bist Christus, des lebendigen Gottes Sohn! 17 Und Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Selig bist du, Simon, Jona's Sohn; denn Fleisch und Blut hat dir das nicht offenbart, sondern mein Vater im Himmel. 18 Und ich sage dir auch: Du bist Petrus, und auf diesen Felsen will ich bauen meine Gemeinde, und die Pforten der Hölle sollen sie nicht überwältigen. 19 Und ich will dir des Himmelsreichs Schlüssel geben: alles, was du auf Erden binden wirst, soll auch im Himmel gebunden sein, und alles, was du auf Erden lösen wirst, soll auch im Himmel los sein. 20 Da verbot er seinen Jüngern, daß sie niemand sagen sollten, daß er, Jesus, der Christus wäre.

21 Von der Zeit an fing Jesus an und zeigte seinen Jüngern, wie er müßte hin gen Jerusalem gehen und viel leiden von den Ältesten und Hohenpriestern und Schriftgelehrten und getötet werden und am dritten Tage auferstehen. 22 Und Petrus nahm ihn zu sich, fuhr ihn an und sprach: HERR, schone dein selbst; das widerfahre dir nur nicht! 23 Aber er wandte sich um und sprach zu Petrus: Hebe dich, Satan, von mir! du bist mir ärgerlich; denn du meinst nicht was göttlich, sondern was menschlich ist.

24 Da sprach Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: Will mir jemand nachfolgen, der verleugne sich selbst und nehme sein Kreuz auf sich und folge mir. 25 Denn wer sein Leben erhalten will, der wird's verlieren; wer aber sein Leben verliert um meinetwillen, der wird's finden. 26 Was hülfe es dem Menschen, so er die ganze Welt gewönne und nähme Schaden an seiner Seele? Oder was kann der Mensch geben, damit er seine Seele wieder löse? 27 Denn es wird geschehen, daß des Menschen Sohn komme in der Herrlichkeit seines Vaters mit seinen Engeln; und alsdann wird er einem jeglichen vergelten nach seinen Werken.

28 Wahrlich ich sage euch: Es stehen etliche hier, die nicht schmecken werden den Tod, bis daß sie des Menschen Sohn kommen sehen in seinem Reich.

 

Matthew 16 Korean Translation

마태복음 16:18

"또 내가 네게 이르노니 너는 베드로라 내가 이 반석 위에 내 교회를 세우리니 음부의 권세가 이기지 못하리라 "

 

1 바리새인과 사두개인들이 와서 예수를 시험하여 하늘로서 오는 표적 보이기를 청하니 2 예수께서 대답하여 가라사대 너희가 저녁에 하늘이 붉으면 날이 좋겠다 하고 3 아침에 하늘이 붉고 흐리면 오늘은 날이 궂겠다 하나니 너희가 천기는 분별할 줄 알면서 시대의 표적은 분별할 수 없느냐 ? 4 악하고 음란한 세대가 표적을 구하나 요나의 표적 밖에는 보여줄 표적이 없느니라 하시고 저희를 떠나가시다

5 제자들이 건너편으로 갈새 떡 가져가기를 잊었더니 6 예수께서 이르시되 삼가 바리새인과 사두개인들의 누룩을 주의하라 하신대 7 제자들이 서로 의논하여 가로되 `우리가 떡을 가져오지 아니하였도다' 하거늘 8 예수께서 아시고 가라사대 믿음이 적은 자들아 ! 어찌 떡이 없음으로 서로 의논하느냐 ? 9 너희가 아직도 깨닫지 못하느냐 ? 떡 다섯 개로 오천 명을 먹이고 주운 것이 몇 바구니며 10 떡 일곱 개로 사천 명을 먹이고 주운 것이 몇 광주리이던 것을 기억지 못하느냐 ? 11 어찌 내 말한 것이 떡에 관함이 아닌 줄을 깨닫지 못하느냐 오직 바리새인과 사두개인들의 누룩을 주의하라 하시니 12 그제야 제자들이 떡의 누룩이 아니요 바리새인과 사두개인들의 교훈을 삼가라고 말씀하신 줄을 깨달으니라

13 예수께서 가이사랴 빌립보 지방에 이르러 제자들에게 물어 가라사대 사람들이 인자를 누구라 하느냐 ? 14 가로되 `더러는 세례 요한, 더러는 엘리야, 어떤 이는 예레미야나 선지자 중의 하나라 하나이다' 15 가라사대 너희는 나를 누구라 하느냐 ? 16 시몬 베드로가 대답하여 가로되 `주는 그리스도시요 ! 살아계신 하나님의 아들이시니이다 !' 17 예수께서 대답하여 가라사대 바요나 시몬아 네가 복이 있도다 이를 네게 알게 한 이는 혈육이 아니요 하늘에 계신 내 아버지시니라 18 또 내가 네게 이르노니 너는 베드로라 내가 이 반석 위에 내 교회를 세우리니 음부의 권세가 이기지 못하리라 19 내가 천국 열쇠를 네게 주리니 네가 땅에서 무엇이든지 매면 하늘에서도 매일 것이요 네가 땅에서 무엇이든지 풀면 하늘에서도 풀리리라 하시고 20 이에 제자들을 경계하사 자기가 그리스도인 것을 아무에게도 이르지 말라 하시니라

21 이 때로부터 예수 그리스도께서 자기가 예루살렘에 올라가 장로들과 대제사장들과 서기관들에게 많은 고난을 받고 죽임을 당하고 제 삼일에 살아나야 할 것을 제자들에게 비로소 가르치시니 22 베드로가 예수를 붙들고 간하여 가로되 `주여 그리 마옵소서 이 일이 결코 주에게 미치지 아니하리이다' 23 예수께서 돌이키시며 베드로에게 이르시되 사단아 ! 내 뒤로 물러가라 너는 나를 넘어지게 하는 자로다 네가 하나님의 일을 생각지 아니하고 도리어 사람의 일을 생각하는도다 하시고

24 이에 예수께서 제자들에게 이르시되 아무든지 나를 따라 오려거든 자기를 부인하고 자기 십자가를 지고 나를 좇을 것이니라 25 누구든지 제 목숨을 구원코자 하면 잃을 것이요 누구든지 나를 위하여 제 목숨을 잃으면 찾으리라 26 사람이 만일 온 천하를 얻고도 제 목숨을 잃으면 무엇이 유익하리요 사람이 무엇을 주고 제 목숨을 바꾸겠느냐 27 인자가 아버지의 영광으로 그 천사들과 함께 오리니 그 때에 각 사람의 행한 대로 갚으리라

28 진실로 너희에게 이르노니 여기 섰는 사람 중에 죽기 전에 인자가 그 왕권을 가지고 오는 것을 볼 자들도 있느니라
