Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Matthew
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Matthew
015:036 and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks
He broke them up and then distributed them to the disciples,
and they to the people.
015:037 And they all ate and were satisfied. The broken portions
that remained over they took up--seven full hampers.
015:038 Those who ate were 4,000 adult men, without reckoning
women and children.
015:039 He then dismissed the people, went on board the boat,
and came into the district of Magadan.
016:001 Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came to Him; and, to make
trial of Him, they asked Him to show them a sign in the sky.
016:002 He replied, "In the evening you say, `It will be fine weather,
for the sky is red;'
016:003 and in the morning, `It will be rough weather to-day, for the sky
is red and murky.' You learn how to distinguish the aspect
of the heavens, but the signs of the times you cannot.
016:004 A wicked and faithless generation are eager for a sign;
but none shall be given to them except the sign of Jonah."
and He left them and went away.
016:005 When the disciples arrived at the other side of the Lake,
they found that they had forgotten to bring any bread;
016:006 and when Jesus said to them, "See to it: beware of the yeast
of the Pharisees and Sadducees,"
016:007 they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we
have not brought any bread."
016:008 Jesus perceived this and said, "Why are you reasoning
among yourselves, you men of little faith, because you
have no bread?
016:009 Do you not yet understand? nor even remember the 5,000 and
the five loaves, and how many basketfuls you carried away,
016:010 nor the 4,000 and the seven loaves, and how many hampers
you carried away?
016:011 How is it you do not understand that it was not about bread
that I spoke to you? But beware of the yeast of the
Pharisees and Sadducees."
016:012 Then they perceived that He had not warned them against bread-yeast,
but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
016:013 When He arrived in the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus
questioned His disciples. "Who do people say that the Son
of Man is?" He asked.
016:014 "Some say John the Baptist," they replied; "others Elijah;
others Jeremiah or one of the Prophets."
016:015 "But you, who do you say that I am?" He asked again.
016:016 "You," replied Simon Peter, "are the Christ, the Son of
the ever-living God."
016:017 "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jonah," said Jesus; "for mere human
nature has not revealed this to you, but my Father in Heaven.
016:018 And I declare to you that you are Peter, and that upon this
Rock I will build my Church, and the might of Hades shall
not triumph over it.
