Matthew 16:18-28

18 "I also say to you that you are 1Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of 2Hades will not overpower it.
19 "I will give you 3the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and 4whatever * you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever * you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."
20 5Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was 6the Christ.

Jesus Foretells His Death

21 7From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and 8suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.
22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This shall never * happen to You."
23 But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, 9Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's."

Discipleship Is Costly

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and 10take up his cross and follow Me.
25 "For 11whoever * wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever * loses his life for My sake will find it.
26 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 "For the 12Son of Man 13is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and 14WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.
28 "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the 15Son of Man 16coming in His kingdom."
