²¹From that time on Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day. ²²And Peter took him aside and^* began to rebuke him, saying, God forbid,^g Lord! This will never happen to you!” ²³But he turned around and^* said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a cause for stumbling to me, because you are not intent on the things of God, but the things of people!”

Taking Up One’s Cross to Follow Jesus

²⁴Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. ²⁵For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me will find it. ²⁶For what will a person be benefited if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life? ²⁷For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and at that time he will reward each one according to what he has done.^h ²⁸Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

Read in Logos
