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."
