27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, to the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples in the way, saying to them, Whom do men say me to be? 28 And they answered, John the Immerser: and some, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. 29 And he says to them, And whom do ye say me to be? And Peter, having answered, says to him, Thou art Christ. 30 And he rebuked them, that they should say to none concerning him. 31 And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be disapproved of by the elders, and the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise up. 32 And he spake the word with frankness. And Peter having taken him, began to rebuke him. 33 And he having turned back, and having seen his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Retire behind me, Satan: for thou hast not in mind the things of God, but the things of men. 34 And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever wills to come after me, let him absolutely deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whoever wills to save his life shall lose it; and whoever should lose his life for my sake and the good news, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and injure his soul. 37 Or what shall a man give for the exchange of his soul? 38 For whoever should be ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; also the Son of man shall be ashamed of him, when he should come in the glory of the Father with the holy messengers.
