³¹And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests and the scribes: and be killed and after three days rise again.

³²And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him began to rebuke him.

³³Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savourest not the things that are of God but that are of men.

³⁴And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

³⁵For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel shall save it.

³⁶For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?

³⁷Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul:

³⁸For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

³⁹And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.
