From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he would have to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer terribly at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and religious teachers; and that he would be killed, but he would rise again on the third day. Peter took Jesus aside and started to tell him he shouldn't talk like that. “God forbid, Lord, that this would ever happen to you!” he said. Jesus turned to Peter, and told him, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a trap to trip me up, because you're thinking in a human way, and not as God thinks!” Then Jesus told his disciples, “If you want to be a follower of mine, you must deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me. For if you want to save your life you will lose it, and if you lose your life for my sake you will save it. What benefit is it for you to gain the whole world, yet lose your life? What would you give in exchange for your life? For the Son of man is going to come in his Father's glory, together with his angels. Then he will give everyone what they deserve according to what they've done. I tell you the truth, there are some standing here who won't die before they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
