New Testament

Matthew 16:20-25 Modern English Version (MEV)

20. Then He commanded His disciples to tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

21. From 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.

22. Then Peter took Him and began rebuking Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord! This shall not happen to You.”

23. But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things that are of God, but those that are of men.”

24. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

25. For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
