Evangelium secundum Matthaeum, 16

1. et accesserunt ad eum Pharisæi et Sadducæi temptantes et rogaverunt eum ut signum de cælo ostenderet eis

1. And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadduccees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.

2. at ille respondens ait eis facto vespere dicitis serenum erit rubicundum est enim cælum

2. But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.

3. et mane hodie tempestas rutilat enim triste cælum

3. And in the morning: To day there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?

4. faciem ergo cæli dijudicare nostis signa autem temporum non potestis generatio mala et adultera signum quærit et signum non dabitur ei nisi signum Jonæ et relictis illis abiit

4. A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away.

5. et cum venissent discipuli ejus trans fretum obliti sunt panes accipere

5. And when his disciples were come over the water, they had forgotten to take bread.

6. qui dixit illis intuemini et cavete a fermento Pharisæorum et Sadducæorum

6. Who said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

7. at illi cogitabant inter se dicentes quia panes non accepimus

7. But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread.

8. sciens autem Jesus dixit quid cogitatis inter vos modicæ fidei quia panes non habetis

8. And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread?

9. nondum intellegitis neque recordamini quinque panum quinque milium hominum et quot cofinos sumpsistis

9. Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

10. neque septem panum quattuor milium hominum et quot sportas sumpsistis

10. Nor the seven loaves among four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

11. quare non intellegitis quia non de pane dixi vobis cavete a fermento Pharisæorum et Sadducæorum

11. Why do you not understand that it was not concerning the bread I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

12. tunc intellexerunt quia non dixerit cavendum a fermento panum sed a doctrina Pharisæorum et Sadducæorum

12. Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13. venit autem Jesus in partes Cæsareæ Philippi et interrogabat discipulos suos dicens quem dicunt homines esse Filium hominis

13. And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is?

14. at illi dixerunt alii Johannem Baptistam alii autem Heliam alii vero Hieremiam aut unum ex prophetis

14. But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15. dicit illis vos autem quem me esse dicitis

15. Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?

16. respondens Simon Petrus dixit tu es Christus Filius Dei vivi

16. Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.

17. respondens autem Jesus dixit ei beatus es Simon Bar Jona quia caro et sanguis non revelavit tibi sed Pater meus qui in cælis est

17. And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

18. et ego dico tibi quia tu es Petrus et super hanc petram ædificabo ecclesiam meam et portæ inferi non prævalebunt adversum eam

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

19. et tibi dabo claves regni cælorum et quodcumque ligaveris super terram erit ligatum in cælis et quodcumque solveris super terram erit solutum in cælis

19. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

20. tunc præcepit discipulis suis ut nemini dicerent quia ipse esset Jesus Christus

20. Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.

21. exinde cœpit Jesus ostendere discipulis suis quia oporteret eum ire Hierosolymam et multa pati a senioribus et scribis et principibus sacerdotum et occidi et tertia die resurgere

21. From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the ancients and scribes and chief priests, and be put to death, and the third day rise again.

22. et adsumens eum Petrus cœpit increpare illum dicens absit a te Domine non erit tibi hoc

22. And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him, saying: Lord, be it far from thee, this shall not be unto thee.

23. qui conversus dixit Petro vade post me Satana scandalum es mihi quia non sapis ea quæ Dei sunt sed ea quæ hominum

23. Who turning, said to Peter: Go behind me, Satan, thou art a scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.

24. tunc Jesus dixit discipulis suis si quis vult post me venire abneget semet ipsum et tollat crucem suam et sequatur me

24. Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25. qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere perdet eam qui autem perdiderit animam suam propter me inveniet eam

25. For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

26. quid enim prodest homini si mundum universum lucretur animæ vero suæ detrimentum patiatur aut quam dabit homo commutationem pro anima sua

26. For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

27. Filius enim hominis venturus est in gloria Patris sui cum angelis suis et tunc reddet unicuique secundum opus ejus

27. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works.

28. amen dico vobis sunt quidam de hic stantibus qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant Filium hominis venientem in regno suo

28. Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
