The Scriptures 1998

Matthew 16:6-17 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. And יהושע said to them, “Mind! And beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

7. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “Because we brought no bread!”

8. But יהושע, aware of this, said to them, “O you of little belief, why do you reason among yourselves because you brought no bread?

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

10. “Or the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you picked up?

11. “How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, but to 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 the Sadducees.

13. Now when יהושע came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His taught ones, saying, “Who do men say the Son of Aḏam is?”

14. And they said, “Some say Yoḥanan the Immerser, and others Ěliyahu, and others Yirmeyahu or one of the prophets.”

15. He said to them, “And you, who do you say I am?”

16. And Shim‛on Kĕpha answering, said, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim.”

17. And יהושע answering, said to him, “Blessed are you, Shim‛on Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.
