Amplified Bible

Matthew 16:8-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

8. But Jesus, aware of this, asked, Why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? O you [men, how little trust you have in Me, how] little faith!

9. Do you not yet discern (perceive and understand)? Do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many [small hand] baskets you gathered?

10. Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many [large provision] baskets you took up?

11. How is it that you fail to understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But beware of the leaven (ferment) of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

12. Then they discerned that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13. Now when Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, Who do people say that the Son of Man is?

14. And they answered, Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.

15. He said to them, But who do you [yourselves] say that I am?

16. Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
