Matthew 16:21-28


Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

21 aFrom that time Jesus began to show his disciples that bhe must go to Jerusalem and csuffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on dthe third day be raised.
22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord!1 This shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, a“Get behind me, Satan! You are ba hindrance1 to me. For you care not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him adeny himself and btake up his cross and follow me.
25 For awhoever would save his life1 will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For awhat will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or bwhat shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 aFor the Son of Man is going to come with bhis angels in the glory of his Father, and cthen he will repay each person according to what he has done. 28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not ataste death buntil they see the Son of Man ccoming in his kingdom.”
