Matthew 16:20-22

New Life Version

²⁰ Then with strong words He told His followers to tell no one that He was the Christ.

Jesus Tells of His Death for the First Time ^(A)

²¹ From that time on Jesus began to tell His followers that He had to go to Jerusalem and suffer many things. These hard things would come from the leaders and from the head religious leaders of the Jews and from the teachers of the Law. He told them He would be killed and three days later He would be raised from the dead. ²² Peter took Jesus away from the others and spoke sharp words to Him. He said, “Never, Lord! This must not happen to You!”
