22 And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee. 23 But he turned and said to Peter: Get behind me, adversary; you are a snare to me: for you are not thinking of the things of God; but of the things of men. 24 Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any one determines to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own life? Or, what will a man give as the ransom of his life? 27 For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he will reward every one according to his deeds. 28 Verily I say to you, There are some standing here that shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
