Matthew 16:13–28

¹³ⁿWhen Jesus came into the coasts of Cesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? ¹⁴And they said, Some say that thou art ^oJohn the Baptist: some, ^pElias; and others, ^qJeremias, or one of the prophets. ¹⁵He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? ¹⁶And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, ^rthe Son of ^sthe living God. ¹⁷And Jesus answered and said unto him, ^tBlessed art thou, ^uSimon Bar-jona: for ^xflesh and blood hath not ^yrevealed it unto thee, but ^zmy Father which is in heaven. ¹⁸And I say also unto thee, That thou art ^aPeter, and ^bupon this rock I will build my church; and ^cthe gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ¹⁹And I will give unto thee ^dthe keys of the kingdom of heaven: and ^ewhatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ^20fThen charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

²¹From that time forth began Jesus ^gto shew unto his disciples, how that ^hhe must go unto Jerusalem, and ^hisuffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and ^jbe raised again the third day. ²²Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. ²³But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, ^kSatan: thou art an ^loffence unto me: for thou ^msavourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. ²⁴Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and ⁿtake up his cross, and follow me. ²⁵For ^owhosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his ^plife for my sake shall find it. ²⁶For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own ^psoul? or ^qwhat shall a man give ^rin exchange for his ^psoul? ²⁷For ^sthe Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father ^twith his angels: and then ^uhe shall reward every man according to his works. ²⁸Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not ^xtaste of death, ^ytill they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
