Matthew 16:20-22

International Children’s Bible

²⁰ Then Jesus warned his followers not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.

Jesus Says That He Must Die

²¹ From that time on Jesus began telling his followers that he must go to Jerusalem. He explained that the Jewish elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of the law would make him suffer many things. And he told them that he must be killed. Then, on the third day, he would be raised from death.

²² Peter took Jesus aside and began to criticize him. Peter said, “God save you from those things, Lord! Those things will never happen to you!”
