Matthew 16 is the hinge of the Gospel. After refusing the Pharisees' demand for a sign and warning the disciples against their teaching, Jesus takes his followers north to Caesarea Philippi and asks who people say he is, and then who they say he is. Peter answers, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God," and Jesus calls him blessed, names him the rock on which he will build his church, and gives him the keys of the kingdom. Then Jesus begins to speak of his coming suffering and death, Peter rebukes him, and Jesus calls Peter "Satan." The chapter closes with the call to deny oneself, take up the cross, and follow.

Matthew 16 begins with people asking Jesus for proof and ends with Jesus asking his disciples for everything. The Pharisees and Sadducees want a sign from heaven; Jesus points out that they can read the sky but not the times and gives them only the sign of Jonah. In the boat the disciples worry about bread, and Jesus has to remind them of two feedings before they understand that he is warning them about teaching, not loaves. Then he takes them north, to a pagan city under Mount Hermon, and asks the question the Gospel has been building toward. Who do people say I am? A prophet, they answer, Elijah, Jeremiah, John. Who do you say I am? Peter answers for them all: the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus blesses him, names him the rock, promises a church that death itself will not overcome, and hands him the keys. And then, immediately, Jesus begins to tell them that the Christ must go to Jerusalem, suffer, and be killed, and Peter, still glowing from the blessing, takes him aside to correct him. Get behind me, Satan. You have in mind the things of men. The chapter ends with the terms that follow from a crucified Messiah: deny yourself, take up your cross, lose your life to find it, and ask what a person could possibly give in exchange for a soul.

Matthew 16:13-20 Matthew 16:21-23 Matthew 16:24-27 Mark 8:27-33 John 6:68-69

Historical and literary context

Caesarea Philippi lay far to the north at the foot of Mount Hermon, a Gentile city named for Caesar and built beside a grotto sacred to the god Pan, a fitting place to ask who the true Son of God is. Popular opinion placed Jesus among the prophets returned; Peter's confession went further. The passion prediction that follows is the first of three in Matthew and marks the turn toward Jerusalem. The "keys" and the language of binding and loosing reflect the authority of a steward and of rabbinic rulings.

How the chapter unfolds

Verses 1 to 4 are the demand for a sign and the answer of the sign of Jonah. Verses 5 to 12 are the misunderstanding about bread and the warning against the leaven, meaning the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Verses 13 to 20 are the two questions at Caesarea Philippi, Peter's confession, the blessing, the rock, the church, the keys, and the command to silence. Verses 21 to 23 are the first prediction of suffering, Peter's rebuke, and Jesus's rebuke of Peter. Verses 24 to 28 are the terms of discipleship: deny yourself, take up the cross, lose your life to find it, and the coming of the Son of Man.

Why this chapter matters

Peter's confession is the first time a disciple names Jesus as the Christ and Son of God, and Jesus's reply contains the only extended use of the word "church" in the Gospels, with the promise that the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. The passage has been the center of Christian debate about Peter's role and the church's authority for centuries. The immediate fall from "blessed" to "Satan" is one of the Gospel's sharpest lessons: confessing Jesus as Christ is not the same as accepting a crucified Christ. And verses 24 to 26, on self-denial, the cross, and the worth of a soul against the whole world, define discipleship for every generation.

Interpretive tension to watch

Who or what is the rock on which the church is built: Peter himself, his confession, or Christ? Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant readers have answered differently, and the Greek wordplay between Peter and rock allows the debate. Whatever the answer, the same chapter shows Peter both blessed and rebuked, which cautions against any reading that makes the rock infallible.

Mga tanong para sa kabanatang ito

  • Jesus asks who people say he is before asking who the disciples say he is. Why does the first question matter?
  • Peter goes from "blessed" to "Satan" in five verses. What did he get right, and what did he refuse?
  • What does it mean, in practice, that whoever wants to save his life will lose it and whoever loses it for Jesus's sake will find it?

1 Les pharisiens et les sadducéens abordèrent Jésus et, pour l’éprouver, lui demandèrent de leur faire voir un signe venant du ciel. 2 Jésus leur répondit: Le soir, vous dites: Il fera beau, car le ciel est rouge; et le matin: 3 Il y aura de l’orage aujourd’hui, car le ciel est d’un rouge sombre. Vous savez discerner l’aspect du ciel, et vous ne pouvez discerner les signes des temps. 4 Une génération méchante et adultère demande un miracle; il ne lui sera donné d’autre miracle que celui deJonas. Puis il les quitta, et s’en alla. 5 Les disciples, en passant à l’autre bord, avaient oublié de prendre des pains. 6 Jésus leur dit: Gardez-vous avec soin du levain des pharisiens et des sadducéens. 7 Les disciples raisonnaient en eux-mêmes, et disaient: C’est parce que nous n’avons pas pris de pains. 8 Jésus, l’ayant connu, dit: Pourquoi raisonnez-vous en vous-mêmes, gens de peu de foi, sur ce que vous n’avez pas pris de pains? 9 Êtes-vous encore sans intelligence, et ne vous rappelez-vous plus les cinq pains des cinq mille hommes et combien de paniers vous avez emportés, 10 ni les sept pains des quatre mille hommes et combien de corbeilles vous avez emportées? 11 Comment ne comprenez-vous pas que ce n’est pas au sujet de pains que je vous ai parlé? Gardez-vous du levain des pharisiens et des sadducéens. 12 Alors ils comprirent que ce n’était pas du levain du pain qu’il avait dit de se garder, mais de l’enseignement des pharisiens et des sadducéens. 13 Jésus, étant arrivé dans le territoire de Césarée de Philippe, demanda à ses disciples: Qui dit-on que je suis, moi, le Fils de l’homme? 14 Ils répondirent: Les uns disent que tu es Jean-Baptiste; les autres, Élie; les autres, Jérémie, ou l’un des prophètes. 15 Et vous, leur dit-il, qui dites-vous que je suis? 16 Simon Pierre répondit: Tu es le Christ, le Fils du Dieu vivant. 17 Jésus, reprenant la parole, lui dit: Tu es heureux, Simon, fils de Jonas; car ce ne sont pas la chair et le sang qui t’ont révélé cela, maisc’est mon Père qui est dans les cieux. 18 Et moi, je te dis que tu es Pierre, et que surcette pierre je bâtirai mon Église, et que lesportes du séjour des morts ne prévaudront point contre elle. 19 Je te donnerai les clefs du royaume des cieux: ce que tu lieras sur la terre sera lié dans les cieux, et ce que tu délieras sur la terre sera délié dans les cieux. 20 Alors il recommanda aux disciples de ne dire à personne qu’il était le Christ. 21 Dès lors Jésus commença à faire connaître à ses disciples qu’il fallait qu’il allât à Jérusalem, qu’il souffrît beaucoup de la part des anciens, des principaux sacrificateurs et des scribes, qu’il fût mis à mort, et qu’il ressuscitât le troisième jour. 22 Pierre, l’ayant pris à part, se mit à le reprendre, et dit: A Dieu ne plaise, Seigneur! Cela ne t’arrivera pas. 23 Mais Jésus, se retournant, dit à Pierre: Arrière de moi, Satan!tu m’es en scandale; car tes pensées ne sont pas les pensées de Dieu, mais celles des hommes. 24 Alors Jésus dit à ses disciples: Si quelqu’un veut venir après moi, qu’il renonce à lui-même, qu’il se charge de sa croix, et qu’il me suive. 25 Car celui qui voudra sauver sa vie la perdra, mais celui qui la perdra à cause de moi la trouvera. 26 Et que servirait-il à un homme de gagner tout le monde, s’il perdait son âme? Ou,que donnerait un homme en échange de son âme? 27 Car le Fils de l’homme doit venir dans lagloire de son Père, avec ses anges; etalors il rendra à chacun selon ses œuvres. 28 Je vous le dis en vérité, quelques-uns de ceux qui sont ici ne mourront point, qu’ils n’aient vu le Fils de l’homme venir dans son règne.
