JESUS PREDICTS HIS DEATH

Matthew 16: 21-28

21 From that time on

Jesus began to explain to His Disciples

That He must to Jerusalem and Suffer many things

At the hands of the Elders, Chief Priest and Teachers of the Law,

AND THAT HE MUST BE KILLED

AND ON THE THIRD DAY BE RAISED TO LIFE.

23 Peter took Him aside and began to Rebuke Him.

'NEVER, LORD he said.

THIS SHALL NEVER HAPPEN TO YOU!'

23 Jesus turned and said to Peter,

OUT OF MY SIGHT, SATAN!

YOU ARE A STUMBLING BLOCK TO ME;

YOU DO NOT HAVE IN MIND THE THINGS OF GOD,

BUT THE THINGS OF MEN.'

24 Then Jesus said to His Disciples,

'IF ANYONE WOULD COME AFTER ME,

HE MUST DENY HIMSLF AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS

AND FOLLOW ME.

25 FOR WHOEVER WANTS TO SAVE HIS LIFE WILL LOSE IT,

BUT WHOEVER LOSES HIS LIFE FOR ME WILL FIND IT.

26 WHAT GOOD WILL IT BE FOR A MAN

IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD,

YET FORFEITS HIS SOUL?

27 FOR THE SON OF MAN IS GOING TO COME

IN HIS FATHER'S GLORY WITH HIS ANGELS,

AND THEN HE WILL REWARD EACH PERSON

ACCORDING TO WHAT HEHAS DONE.

28 I TELL YOU THE TRUTH,

SOME WHO ARE STANDING HERE

WILL NOT TASTE DEATH

BEFORE THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN

COMING IN HIS KINGDOM.'

(Matthew 16:21-28)
