Mattityahu 16:21-28

Mattityahu 16:21-28 TOJB2011

From that point he began to explain to his talmidim that it was necessary that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach go to Yerushalayim, and suffer many things from the Zekenim (Elders), and the Rashei Hakohanim (the Chief Priests) and the Sofrim (Scribes) and it was necessary for Moshiach to be killed and have his histalkus (passing), that he would undergo the Techiyas HaMoshiach (Resurrection of Moshiach) on Yom HaShlishi. And Kefa took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, Chas vshalom (G-d forbid)! Adoni, this shall never happen to you! But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach turned and said to Kefa, Get behind me, HaSatan! You are a michshol (stumbling block) to me; for you are not setting your mind on the things of HASHEM, but the things of Bnei Adam! Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to his talmidim, If anyone wishes to come after me, let him turn in hinnazrut (self-denial), and take up his etz shel mesiros nefesh (tree of self-sacrifice), and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his nefesh shall lose it; but whoever loses his nefesh on account of me shall find it. For what will a man be benefited if he acquires the whole world and forfeits his neshamah, or what will a man give in exchange for his neshamah? For the Bar Enosh is about to come in the kavod of his Av with his malachim and will then recompense every man according to his ma'asim. Omein, I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who shall not taste death until they see the Bias of the Bar Enosh coming in his Malchut.
