Rh do you thinke within your selves, O ye of litle faith, for that you have not bread? Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember * the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you tooke up? neither the * seaven loaves, among foure thousand men, and how many maundes you tooke up? Why do you not understand that I said not of bread to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, & Sadducees? Then they understood that he said not they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And * came into the quarters of Cæsarea Philippi: and he asked his Disciples, saying: ″ whom say men that the Sonne of man is? But ″ they said, Some John the Baptist, & othersome Elias, and others Hieremie, or one of the Prophets. saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered & said, Thou art Christ the Sonne of the living God. And answering, said to him: ″ Blessed art thou Simon bar-Jona: because flesh & bloud hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father which is in Heaven. And ″ I say to thee: That ″ thou art * Peter; and ″ upon this ″ Rock wil I ″ build my Church, and the ″ gates of Hel shal not prevaile against it. And I ''* wil give ″ to thee the ″ keyes of the Kingdom of Heaven. And ″ what soever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shal be bound also in the Heavens: and what soever thou shalt loose in earth, it shall be loosed also in the Heavens''. ✠

Then he commanded his Disciples that they should tel no body that he was.

From that time began to shew his Disciples, that he must goe to Hierusalem, & suffer many things of the Ancients & Scribes & Cheefe-Priests, and be killed, and the third day rise againe. And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him, saying: Lord, be it farre from thee, this shal not be unto thee. Who turning said to Peter: Goe after me Satan, thou art a scandal unto me: because thou favourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men. Then said to his Disciples: If any man wil come after me, let him denie himself, and take up his crosse, and follow me. For he that will save his life, shal lose it, and he that shal lose his life for me, shal find it. For what doth it profit a man, if he gaine the whole world, and sustaine the damage of his soule? Or what permutation shal a man give for his soule? For the Sonne of man shal come in the glorie of his Father with his Angels: and then wil he render to every man according to his ″ workes. ✠

Amen I say to you, * there be some of them that stand here, that shal not taste death, til they see the Sonne of man comming in his Kingdom.
