Vangelo secondo Matteo 16

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Et accesserunt ad eum pharisaei et sadducaei tentantes et rogaverunteum, ut signum de caelo ostenderet eis.	1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to put him to the test they asked if he would show them asign from heaven.
2 At ille respondens ait eis: “ Factovespere dicitis: “Serenum erit, rubicundum est enim caelum”;	2 He replied, 'In the evening you say, "It wil be fine; there's a red sky,"
3 et mane: “Hodietempestas, rutilat enim triste caelum”. Faciem quidem caeli diiudicare nostis,signa autem temporum non potestis.	3 and in the morning, "Stormy weather today; the sky is red and overcast." You know how to read theface of the sky, but you cannot read the signs of the times.
4 Generatio mala et adultera signum quaerit,et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionae ”. Et, relictis illis, abiit.	4 It is an evil and unfaithful generation asking for a sign, and the only sign it wil be given is the sign ofJonah.' And he left them and went off.
5 Et cum venissent discipuli trans fretum, obliti sunt panes accipere.	5 The disciples, having crossed to the other side, had forgotten to take any food.
6 Iesusautem dixit illis: “ Intuemini et cavete a fermento pharisaeorum etsadducaeorum ”.	6 Jesus said to them, 'Keep your eyes open, and be on your guard against the yeast of the Phariseesand Sadducees.'
7 At illi cogitabant inter se dicentes: “ Panes nonaccepimus!”.	7 And they said among themselves, 'It is because we have not brought any bread.'
8 Sciens autem Iesus dixit: “ Quid cogitatis inter vos, modicaefidei, quia panes non habetis?	8 Jesus knew it, and he said, 'You have so little faith, why are you talking among yourselves abouthaving no bread?
9 Nondum intellegitis neque recordamini quinquepanum quinque milium hominum, et quot cophinos sumpsistis?	9 Do you stil not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand and thenumber of baskets you col ected?
10 Neque septem panumquattuor milium hominum, et quot sportas sumpsistis?	10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand and the number of baskets you col ected?
11 Quomodo non intellegitisquia non de panibus dixi vobis? Sed cavete a fermento pharisaeorum etsadducaeorum ”.	11 How could you fail to understand that I was not talking about bread? What I said was: Beware of theyeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.'
12 Tunc intellexerunt quia non dixerit cavendum a fermentopanum sed a doctrina pharisaeorum et sadducaeorum.	12 Then they understood that he was tel ing them to be on their guard, not against yeast for makingbread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Venit autem Iesus in partes Caesareae Philippi et interrogabat discipulossuos dicens: “ Quem dicunt homines esse Filium hominis?”.	13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi he put this question to his disciples, 'Who dopeople say the Son of man is?'
14 At illidixerunt: “ Alii Ioannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero Ieremiam, autunum ex prophetis ”.	14 And they said, 'Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.'
15 Dicit illis: “ Vos autem quem me esse dicitis? ”.	15 'But you,' he said, 'who do you say I am?'
16 Respondens Simon Petrus dixit: “ Tu es Christus, Filius Dei vivi ”.	16 Then Simon Peter spoke up and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'
17 Respondens autem Iesus dixit ei: “ Beatus es, Simon Bariona, quia caro etsanguis non revelavit tibi sed Pater meus, qui in caelis est.	17 Jesus replied, 'Simon son of Jonah, you are a blessed man! Because it was no human agency thatrevealed this to you but my Father in heaven.
18 Et ego dicotibi: Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam; et portaeinferi non praevalebunt adversum eam.	18 So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I wil build my community. And the gates of theunderworld can never overpower it.
19 Tibi dabo claves regni caelorum; etquodcumque ligaveris super terram, erit ligatum in caelis, et quodcumquesolveris super terram, erit solutum in caelis ”.	19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven: whatever you bind on earth will be bound inheaven; whatever you loose on earth wil be loosed in heaven.'
20 Tunc praecepit discipulis,ut nemini dicerent quia ipse esset Christus.	20 Then he gave the disciples strict orders not to say to anyone that he was the Christ.
21 Exinde coepit Iesus ostendere discipulis suis quia oporteret eum ireHierosolymam et multa pati a senioribus et principibus sacerdotum et scribis etoccidi et tertia die resurgere.	21 From then onwards Jesus began to make it clear to his disciples that he was destined to go toJerusalem and suffer grievously at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be put to deathand to be raised up on the third day.
22 Et assumens eum Petrus coepit increpare illumdicens: “ Absit a te, Domine; non erit tibi hoc ”.	22 Then, taking him aside, Peter started to rebuke him. 'Heaven preserve you, Lord,' he said, 'this mustnot happen to you.'
23 Qui conversus dixitPetro: “ Vade post me, Satana! Scandalum es mihi, quia non sapis ea, quae Deisunt, sed ea, quae hominum! ”.	23 But he turned and said to Peter, 'Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle in my path, becauseyou are thinking not as God thinks but as human beings do.'
24 Tunc Iesus dixit discipulis suis: “ Si quis vult post me venire, abnegetsemetipsum et tollat crucem suam et sequatur me.	24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'If anyone wants to be a fol ower of mine, let him renounce himselfand take up his cross and follow me.
25 Qui enim voluerit animamsuam salvam facere, perdet eam; qui autem perdiderit animam suam propter me,inveniet eam.	25 Anyone who wants to save his life wil lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it.
26 Quid enim prodest homini, si mundum universum lucretur, animaevero suae detrimentum patiatur? Aut quam dabit homo commutationem pro anima sua?	26 What, then, wil anyone gain by winning the whole world and forfeiting his life? Or what can anyoneoffer in exchange for his life?
27 Filius enim hominis venturus est in gloria Patris sui cum angelis suis, ettunc reddet unicuique secundum opus eius.	27 'For the Son of man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he wilreward each one according to his behaviour.
28 Amen dico vobis: Sunt quidam de hicstantibus, qui non gustabunt mortem, donec videant Filium hominis venientem inregno suo ”.	28 In truth I tel you, there are some standing here who wil not taste death before they see the Son ofman coming with his kingdom.'
