²⁰ Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone^(A) that he was the Messiah.

Jesus Predicts His Death^(B)

²¹ From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem^(C) and suffer many things^(D) at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,^(E) and that he must be killed^(F) and on the third day^(G) be raised to life.^(H)

²² 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, “Get behind me, Satan!^(I) You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

²⁴ Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.^{(J) 25} For whoever wants to save their life^[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.^{(K) 26} What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? ²⁷ For the Son of Man^(L) is going to come^(M) in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.^(N)

³³ But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!”^(J) he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

The Way of the Cross

³⁴ Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.^{(K) 35} For whoever wants to save their life^[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.^{(L) 36} What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? ³⁷ Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? ³⁸ If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man^(M) will be ashamed of them^(N) when he comes^(O) in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

9 And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come^(P) with power.”^(Q)
