Gift of I AM (Matthew) 16

1 The Separate (Pharisees) and The Righteous (Sadducees) came to tempt Him, desiring that He would show them a sign from heaven.

2 He answered them: When it is evening, you say, it will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

3 And in the morning: It will be foul weather today: the sky is red and lowering. You hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky; but can you not discern the signs of the times?

4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; but there shall not be a sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Dove (Jonah). And He left them and departed from there.

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

6 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of The Separate (Pharisees) and of The Righteous (Sadducees).

7 They reasoned among themselves, saying: It is because we have not brought bread.

8 Which, when I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) perceived He said to them: O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?

9 Do you not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye 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 did not speak to you concerning bread, but that you should beware of the leaven of The Separate (Pharisees) and of The Righteous (Sadducees)?

12 Then they understood that He did not warn them to beware of the leaven of bread but of the doctrine of The Separate (Pharisees) and The Righteous (Sadducees).

13 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) came into the coasts of Severed Horse Lover (Caesarea Philippi), He asked his disciples: Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man am?

14 They responded: Some say that You are I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist: some, My God is I Am (Elijah); and others, Whom Jehovah Has Appointed (Jeremiah), or one of the prophets.

15 He then asked them: But whom do you say that I am?

16 And Heard (Simon) answered Him: You are the Anointed (Messiah, Christ), the Son of the living God.

17 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered him: You are blessed Heard, Son of Dove (Simon Barjona): for flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

18 And I say to you, that you are Stone (Peter), and on this rock, I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

20 Then He charged His disciples that they should tell no man that He was I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) the Anointed (Messiah, Christ).

21 From that time forth, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) began to show to His disciples, how He must go to Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

22 Then Stone (Peter) took Him, and began to rebuke Him, saying: Be it far from You Lord: this shall not be to You.

23 But He turned and said to Stone (Peter): Get behind Me Adversary (Satan): you are a stumbling block to Me: for you do not savor the things that are of God, but those that are of men.

24 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) spoke to His disciples: If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.

26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then He will reward every man according to his works.

28 Truly, I say to you: There will be some standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom.
