Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Matthew chapter sixteen. The Pharisees, also with the Sadducees, came,
and tempting, desired him that he would show them a
sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, when
it is evening, ye say it will be fair weather,
for the sky is red, and in the morning it'll

(00:21):
be foul weather to day, for the sky is red
and lowering. O, ye hypocrites, Ye can discern the face
of the sky. But can he not discern the signs
of the times? A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after
a sign, and there shall no sign be given unto
it but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he

(00:44):
left them and departed. And when his disciples were come
to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
And Jesus said unto them, take heed and beware of
the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. And
they reasoned among themselves, saying, it is because we have
taken no bread, which when Jesus perceived, he said, unto them, O,

(01:09):
ye of little faith, Why reason ye among yourselves because
ye have brought no bread? Do ye not yet understand?
Neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand and
how many basketsy took up, neither the seven loaves of
the four thousand and how many baskets he took up.

(01:31):
How is it that ye do not understand that I
spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should
beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware
of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of
the Pharisees and of the Saducees. When Jesus came into

(01:54):
the coast of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying,
whom do men say that I the son of man Am?
And they said, some say that thou art John the Baptist,
some Elias, and others jeremiahs or one of the prophets.
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

(02:19):
And Simon Peter answered and said, thou art the Christ,
the son of the Living God. And Jesus answered and said,
unto him, blessed art thou Simon Barjona, For flesh and
blood hath not revealed it unto THEE, but my Father,
which is in Heaven. And I say also unto THEE,

(02:41):
that thou art Peter. And upon this roc I will
build my church, and the gates of Hell shall not
prevail against it. And I will give unto THEE the
keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt
bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven. And whatsoever
thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in Heaven.

(03:03):
Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no
man that he was Jesus the Christ. From that time
forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that
he must go unto Jerusalem and suffer many things of
the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed
and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took

(03:26):
him and began to rebuke him, saying, be it far
from THEE. Lord, this shall not be unto THEE. But
he turned and said, unto Peter, get THEE behind me, Satan,
thou art in offense unto me, For thou savest not
the things that be of God, but those that be
of men. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, if any

(03:51):
man will come after me, let him deny himself and
take up his cross and follow me. For whosoever will
save his life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose
his life for my sake shall find it. For what
is a man profited if he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own soul, Or what shall a

(04:14):
man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son
of Man shall come in the glory of his father,
with his angels, and then he shall reward every man
according to his works. Verily, I say unto you, there
be some standing here which shall not taste of death
till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.
