Our Lord Foretells His Death, Resurrection,
And The Trials Of His Followers
74. Matt 16:21-28
21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his
disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer
many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and
be killed, and be raised again the third day. 22 Then Peter
took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from
thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and
said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an
offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of
God, but those that be of men. 24 Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For
whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will
lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man
profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with
his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to
his works. 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing
here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of
man coming in his kingdom.
