16:21-28 From then began Jesus Christ to
show to his disciples that it behoves him to go to Jerusalem
where he would suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes. He would be killed and on the third day
he would be raised. Peter took him
aside and began to rebuke him saying “May God help you Lord so that this
will not happen.” But he, turning, said to Peter. “Get behind me Satan.
You are offending me because you are not thinking about the things of God
but of the things of people.” Then
Jesus said to his disciples.
"If anyone wishes to come after me, let
|
him
deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will
lose it. And whoever loses his
life for my sake will find it. For
what will it benefit a man if he should gain the whole world but he loses
his soul? Or what will a man give
in exchange for his soul? The son
of man is about to come into the glory of his Father with his angels and
then he will reward each person according to his conduct. Truly I say to you there are some people standing here who by no means may taste
death until the see the Son of man coming into his kingdom."
