Matthew 16:21-23

Expanded Bible

Jesus Says that He Must Die^(A)

²¹ From that time on Jesus began ·telling [showing; making it clear to] his ·followers [disciples] that he must go to Jerusalem, where the Jewish elders, the leading priests, and the ·teachers of the law [scribes] would make him suffer ·many things [greatly]. He told them he must be killed and then be raised from the dead on the third day.

²² Peter took Jesus aside and ·told him not to talk like that [^Lbegan to reprimand/rebuke him]. He said, “·God save you from those things [God forbid; May it never be; ^L(God) Be merciful], Lord! Those things ·will never [must certainly not] happen to you!”

²³ Then Jesus turned and said to Peter, “·Go away from [Get behind] me, Satan! You are ·not helping [an obstacle/stumbling block to] me! You ·don’t care about [are not setting your mind on/thinking about] the things of God, but only ·about the things people think are important [on/about human concerns].”
