22 And Peter taking Him to him, began to rebuke Him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord; because this shall not be unto thee. 23 And turning He said to Peter, Get behind me, adversary: thou art my stumbling-block; because thou art not thinking about the things of God, but those of men. 24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, If any one wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever may wish to save his soul shall lose it: and whosoever may lose his soul for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he may gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will give to each one according to his works. 28 Truly I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who may not taste of death, until they may see the Son of man coming in His kingdom.
