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)

²¹ He gave them strict orders, commanding them not to tell this to anyone. ²² He said, “The Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he must be killed, but on the third day he will be raised.”

²³ Then he told all of them, “If anyone wants to come with me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross every day, and follow me continuously, ²⁴ because whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. ²⁵ What profit will a person have if he gains the whole world, but destroys himself or is lost? ²⁶ If anyone 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^[a] the Father and the holy angels. ²⁷ I tell you with certainty, some people who are standing here won’t experience^[b] death until they see the kingdom of God.”
