Matthew 16:21-23

Jesus Foretells His Death

21 ¹From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and ²suffer 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, ³Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's."
