Matthew 16:23-27

New International Version

²³ Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan!^(A) 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.^{(B) 25} For whoever wants to save their life^[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.^{(C) 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^(D) is going to come^(E) in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.^(F)
