Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection^(A)

²¹ From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he would have to go to Jerusalem and suffer a great deal because of the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised. ²² Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “God be merciful to you, Lord! This must never happen to you!”

²³ But Jesus^[a] turned and told Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an offense^[b] to me, because you are not thinking God’s thoughts but human thoughts!”

²⁴ Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously. ²⁵ Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it, ²⁶ because what profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life? ²⁷ The Son of Man is going to come with his angels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay everyone according to what he has done. ²⁸ I tell all of you^[c] with certainty, some people standing here will not experience^[d] death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection^(A)

³¹ Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man would have to suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he would be killed, but after three days he would rise again. ³² He was speaking about this matter quite openly.

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. ³³ But turning and looking at his disciples, Jesus^[a] rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind me, Satan, because you’re not thinking God’s thoughts, but human thoughts!”

³⁴ Then Jesus^[b] called the crowd to himself along with his disciples and told them, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously, ³⁵ because whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel will save it. ³⁶ What profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? ³⁷ Indeed, what can a person give in exchange for his life? ³⁸ If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes with the holy angels in his Father’s glory.”

9 Then he told them, “I tell all of you^[c] with certainty, some people standing here will not experience^[d] death until they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”
