Matthew 16:21-28

21 From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that it behooved him to go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things, of the elder men, and of the scribes, and of princes of priests [of the elders, and scribes, and princes of priests]; and be slain, and the third day to rise again.
22 And Peter took him, and began to blame him, and said [saying], Far be it from thee, Lord; this shall not be to thee.
23 And he turned, and said to Peter, Satan, go thou after me; thou art a cause of stumbling to me; for thou savourest not those things that be of God, but those things that be of men. [The which, turned, said to Peter, Satan, go after me; thou art (an) offence to me; for thou savourest not, or understandest not, those things that be of God, but those things that be of men.]
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man will come after me, deny he himself, and take his cross, and follow me;
25 for he that will make his life safe, shall lose it; and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.
26 For what profiteth it to a man [Soothly what profiteth to a man], if he win all the world, and suffer impairing of his soul? or what (ex)changing shall a man give for his soul?
27 For man's Son shall come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then he shall yield to every man after his works.
28 Truly I say to you, there be some of them that stand here [there be some of men standing here], which shall not taste death, till they see man's Son coming in his kingdom.
