Jesus Foretells His Death

^21 (A)From that time ^[a]Jesus began to ^[b]point out to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem and to ^(B)suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised up on the third day. ²² And yet Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “^[c]God forbid it, Lord! This shall never ^[d]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 ^[e]God’s purposes, but men’s.”

Discipleship Is Costly

²⁴ Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, ^(D)take up his cross, and follow Me. ²⁵ For ^(E)whoever wants to save his ^[f]life will lose it; but whoever loses his ^[g]life for My sake will find it. ²⁶ For what good will it do a person if he gains the whole world, but ^[h]forfeits his soul? Or what will a person 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 repay every person according to his ^[i]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 from the dead. 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 purposes, but on man’s.”

³⁴ And He summoned the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, ^(E)take up his cross, and follow Me. ³⁵ For ^(F)whoever wants 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 benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? ³⁷ For what could a person 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 when it has come with power.”

^22 (A)saying, “^(B)The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised on the third day.”

²³ And He was saying to them all, “^(C)If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. ²⁴ For ^(D)whoever wants to save his ^[a]life will lose it, but whoever loses his ^[b]life for My sake, this is the one who will save it. ²⁵ For what good does it do a person if he gains the whole world, but ^(E)loses or forfeits himself? ^26 (F)For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels. ²⁷ But I say to you truthfully, ^(G)there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
