I will tell of the decree.The LORD said to me, "You are my son.Today I have become your father.

9. Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices.My body shall also dwell in safety.

10. For you will not leave my soul in Sheol,neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

Your dead shall live.My dead bodies shall arise.Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust;for your dew is like the dew of herbs,and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

4. An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah."He left them, and departed.

5. The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.

6. JESUS said to them,"Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

7. They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."

8. JESUS, perceiving it, said,"Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, 'because you have brought no bread?'

9. Don't you yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

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

11. How is it that you don't perceive that I didn't speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

12. Then they understood that he didn't tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13. Now when JESUS came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying,"Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"

14. They said, "Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

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

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

17. JESUS answered him,"Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

18. I also tell you that you are Peter,and on this rockI will build my assembly, and the gates of Hadeswill not prevail against it.

19. I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven."

20. Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was JESUS the Christ.

21. From that time, JESUS began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up."They were exceedingly sorry.
