Matthew 16:23-25

Contemporary English Version

²³ Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Satan, get away from me! You're in my way because you think like everyone else and not like God.”

^24 (A) Then Jesus said to his disciples:

If any of you want to be my followers, you must forget about yourself. You must take up your cross and follow me. ^25 (B) If you want to save your life,^[a] you will destroy it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find it.
