Matthew:16:21-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
After this Jesus the Christ began to show his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem ,
and suffer many things at the hands of the elders and chief priests and Scribes ,
and be put to death ,
and on the third day be raised again .
*
Then Peter took him aside and began to reprove him ,
saying . "
God forbid ,
Master !
That shall never befall you ."
*
But he turned and said to Peter . "
Get behind me ,
Satan !
You are a stumbling-block to me ,
because you are not intent on what pleases God ,
but what pleases men ."
*
Then Jesus said to his disciples . "
If any man wishes to come after me ,
let him renounce self ,
take up his cross ,
and follow me .
*
For he who wants to save his life will lose it ;
but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it .
*
What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul ?
or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul ?
*
For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father ,
and his angels with him ,
and then will he reward each one in accordance with his actions .
*
Solemnly I tell you ,
some of those who are standing here shall not taste death ,
till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom .
