Okusaba Yesu Akabonero

16 (A)Awo Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo ne bajja eri Yesu okumugezesa nga bamusaba akabonero akava mu ggulu.

Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Obudde bwe buwungeera mugamba nti, obudde bujja kuba bulungi kubanga eggulu limyuse nnyo. (B)Ate eggulu bwe limyuka ku nkya mumanya nti olunaku lwonna obudde bujja kwefuukuula. Mumanyi bulungi endabika y’eggulu n’okwawula ebiseera, naye lwaki temusobola kutegeera bubonero bwa biro? (C)Mmwe ab’omulembe omwonoonefu era omwenzi musaba akabonero naye temuliweebwa kabonero okuggyako aka Yona.” Yesu n’abaviira n’agenda.

Ekizimbulukusa ky’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo

Abayigirizwa bwe baasomoka okuva emitala w’eri ne beerabira okuleeta emigaati. (D)Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mwekuume ekizimbulukusa ky’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.”

Naye Abayigirizwa ne boogeraganya bokka ne bokka nti, “Ayogedde bw’atyo kubanga tetwaleese migaati.”

(E)Yesu bwe yamanya ebirowoozo byabwe n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe abalina okukkiriza okutono lwaki mweraliikirira nga mugamba nti, ‘temulina mmere?’ (F)Era temunnategeera wadde okujjukira emigaati etaano abantu enkumi ettaano gye baalya, n’ebisero bye mwakuŋŋaanya ebyafikkawo? 10 (G)Era n’emigaati omusanvu abantu enkumi ennya gye baalya n’ebisero bye mwakuŋŋaanya ebyafikkawo? 11 Kale lwaki temutegeera nti mbadde ssoogera ku migaati? Naye mwekuume ekizimbulukusa eky’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.” 12 (H)Ne balyoka bategeera nti yali tayogera ku kizimbulukusa kya migaati naye yali ayogera ku njigiriza y’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.

Peetero Ayatula Kristo

13 Awo Yesu bwe yatuuka mu kitundu kya Kayisaliya ekya Firipo n’abuuza abayigirizwa be nti, “Abantu Omwana w’Omuntu bagamba nti ye ani?”

14 (I)Ne bamuddamu nti, “Yokaana Omubatiza, abalala nti Eriya, n’abalala nti Yeremiya oba omu ku bannabbi.”

15 Awo Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mmwe mundowooza kuba ani?”

16 (J)Simooni Peetero n’addamu nti, “Ggwe Kristo, Omwana wa Katonda omulamu.”

17 (K)Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olina omukisa Simooni, omwana wa Yona, kubanga ekyo Kitange ali mu ggulu y’akikubikkulidde, so tokiggye mu bantu. 18 (L)Era nkutegeeza nti, Ggwe Peetero, olwazi, era ku lwazi okwo kwe ndizimba Ekkanisa yange, n’amaanyi gonna aga Setaani tegaligiwangula. 19 (M)Era ndikuwa ebisumuluzo by’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu; era kyonna ky’onoosibanga ku nsi, ne mu ggulu kinaasibwanga, na buli ky’onoosumululanga ku nsi, ne mu ggulu kinaasumululwanga.” 20 (N)Awo n’akuutira abayigirizwa be baleme kubuulirako muntu n’omu nti Ye Kristo.

21 (O)Okuva mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’atandika okunnyonnyola abayigirizwa be nga bwe kimugwanidde okugenda e Yerusaalemi, abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bakabona abakulu, n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bamubonyeebonye, era bamutte; naye ku lunaku olwokusatu azuukire.

22 Peetero n’amuzza ebbali n’atandika okumunenya ng’amugamba nti, “Katonda akulage ekisa Mukama waffe. Bino tebirikutuukako.”

23 (P)Naye Yesu n’akyukira Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Dda ennyuma wange Setaani. Oli kyesittaza gye ndi, kubanga tolowoozeza bintu bya Katonda wabula olowooza bintu bya bantu.”

24 (Q)Awo Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Omuntu bw’ayagala okungoberera asaana yeefiirize yekka, yeetikke omusaalaba gwe alyoke angoberere. 25 (R)Kubanga buli agezaako okuwonya obulamu bwe alibufiirwa, oyo alifiirwa obulamu bwe ku lwange alibuwonya. 26 Kigasa ki omuntu okufuna ensi yonna naye n’afiirwa obulamu bwe? Oba kiki omuntu kyayinza okuwaayo olw’obulamu bwe? 27 (S)Kubanga Omwana w’Omuntu anaatera okujja mu kitiibwa kya Kitange ne bamalayika be alyoke asasule buli muntu ng’ebikolwa bye bwe byali.

28 “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti ku mmwe abali wano kuliko abatalirega ku kufa okutuusa lwe baliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’ajja n’obwakabaka bwe.”

The Demand for a Sign(A)

16 The Pharisees and Sadducees(B) came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.(C)

He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.[a](D) A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”(E) Jesus then left them and went away.

The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees

When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”(F)

They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”

Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith,(G) why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(H) 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(I) 11 How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.(J)

Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(K)

13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(L) others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”(M)

15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”(N)

17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood,(O) but by my Father in heaven.(P) 18 And I tell you that you are Peter,[b](Q) and on this rock I will build my church,(R) and the gates of Hades[c] will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys(S) of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be[d] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[e] loosed in heaven.”(T) 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone(U) that he was the Messiah.

Jesus Predicts His Death(V)

21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem(W) and suffer many things(X) at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(Y) and that he must be killed(Z) and on the third day(AA) be raised to life.(AB)

22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”

23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan!(AC) You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.(AD) 25 For whoever wants to save their life[f] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.(AE) 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man(AF) is going to come(AG) in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.(AH)

28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
