Matthew:16:21-28

*
From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go off to Jerusalem ,
and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes ,
and to be killed ,
and to be raised the third day .
*
And taking Him aside ,
Peter began to rebuke Him ,
saying , "
God be gracious to You ,
Lord !
This shall by no means happen to You !"
*
But He turned and said to Peter , "
Get behind Me ,
Satan !
You are a stumbling block unto Me ,
because you are not mindful of the things of God ,
but the things of men ."
*
Then Jesus said to His disciples , "
If anyone desires to come after Me ,
let him deny himself ,
and take up his cross ,
and follow Me .
*
For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it ,
but whoever loses his life on account of Me shall find it .
*
For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world ,
but forfeits his soul ?
Or what will a man give [
as ]
an exchange for his soul ?
*
For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels ,
and then He will render to each according to his works .
*
Assuredly I say to you ,
there are some standing here who will by no means taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom ."
