Jesus Foretells His Death

^21 (A)From that time ^[a]Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and ^(B)suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. ²² Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “^[b]God forbid it, Lord! This shall never ^[c]happen to You.” ²³ But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, ^(C)Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on ^[d]God’s interests, but man’s.”

Discipleship Is Costly

²⁴ Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and ^(D)take up his cross and follow Me. ²⁵ For ^(E)whoever wishes to save his ^[e]life will lose it; but whoever loses his ^[f]life for My sake will find it. ²⁶ For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? ²⁷ For the ^(F)Son of Man ^(G)is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and ^(H)will then ^[g]repay every man according to his ^[h]deeds.

²⁸ “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the ^(I)Son of Man ^(J)coming in His kingdom.”

^31 (A)And He began to teach them that ^(B)the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. ³² And He was stating the matter ^(C)plainly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. ³³ But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and *said, “Get behind Me, ^(D)Satan; for you are not setting your mind on ^[a]God’s interests, but man’s.”

³⁴ And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and ^(E)take up his cross and follow Me. ³⁵ For ^(F)whoever wishes to save his ^[b]life will lose it, but whoever loses his ^[c]life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. ³⁶ For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? ³⁷ For what will a man give in exchange for his soul? ³⁸ For ^(G)whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, ^(H)the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He ^(I)comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

The Transfiguration

9 And Jesus was saying to them, “^(J)Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”
