His Death and Resurrection Predicted

31 Then(A) He began to teach them that the Son of Man(B) must suffer many things and be rejected(C) by the elders,(D) the chief priests, and the scribes,(E) be killed, and rise(F) after three days.(G) 32 He was openly talking about this. So Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

33 But turning around and looking at His disciples, He rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan,(H) because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns,[a] but man’s!”

Take Up Your Cross

34 Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must deny himself,(I) take up his cross,(J) and follow Me.(K) 35 For whoever wants to save(L) his life will lose it,(M) but whoever loses(N) his life(O) because of Me(P) and the gospel(Q) will save it.(R) 36 For what does it benefit(S) a man to gain(T) the whole world(U) yet lose(V) his life?(W) 37 What can a man give in exchange for his life?(X) 38 For whoever is ashamed(Y) of Me and of My words(Z) in this adulterous and sinful(AA) generation,(AB) the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory(AC) of His Father(AD) with the holy(AE) angels.”(AF)

Then He said to them, “I assure you:(AG) There are some standing here who will not taste death(AH) until they see the kingdom of God come in power.”(AI)

Jesus Predicts His Death(A)

31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man(B) must suffer many things(C) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(D) and that he must be killed(E) and after three days(F) rise again.(G) 32 He spoke plainly(H) about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!”(I) he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

The Way of the Cross

34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.(J) 35 For whoever wants to save their life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.(K) 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man(L) will be ashamed of them(M) when he comes(N) in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come(O) with power.”(P)

Take Up Your Cross

23 Then He said to them all, “If anyone wants to come with[a] Me, he must deny himself,(G) take up his cross daily,[b] and follow Me.(H) 24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it.(I) 25 What is a man benefited if he gains the whole world, yet loses or forfeits himself?(J) 26 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words,(K) the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory(L) and that of the Father and the holy angels.(M) 27 I tell you the truth: There are some standing here who will not taste death(N) until they see the kingdom of God.”(O)
