22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, |God be merciful to you, Lord! This must never happen to you!| 23 But Jesus turned and told Peter, |Get behind me, Satan! You are an offense to me, because you are not thinking God's thoughts but human thoughts!| 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, |If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously. 25 Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it, 26 because what profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life? 27 The Son of Man is going to come with his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay everyone according to what he has done. 28 I tell all of you with certainty, some people standing here will not experience death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.| Matthew 16:22-28, Intl.
