King James 2000

Matthew 16:4-18 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

4. A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah.

5. And when his disciples came to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

6. Then Jesus said unto them,

7. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

8. Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them,

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

10. Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

11. How is it that you do not understand that I spoke not to you concerning bread, that you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

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

13. When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying,

14. And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

15. He said unto them,

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

17. And Jesus answered and said unto him,

18. And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it.
