Matthew 16:16-28

16SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611, “You are 12the ChristG5547, 3the SonG5207 of 4the livingG2198 GodG2316.” 17And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “BlessedG3107 are you, 5SimonG4613 6BarjonaG920, becauseG3754 7fleshG4561 and bloodG129 did not revealG601 this to you, but My FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in heavenG3772. 18I alsoG2532 sayG3004 to you that you are 89PeterG4074, and upon thisG3778 10rockG4073 I will buildG3618 My churchG1577; and the gatesG4439 of 11HadesG86 will not overpowerG2729 it. 19I will giveG1325 you 12the keysG2807 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772; and 13whateverG3739G1437 you bindG1210 on earthG1093 14shall have been boundG1210 in heavenG3772, and whateverG3739G1437 you looseG3089 on earthG1093 15shall have been loosedG3089 in heavenG3772.” 2016ThenG5119 He 17warnedG2008 the disciplesG3101 that they should tellG3004 noG3367 oneG3367 that He was 1819the ChristG5547.

2120From that timeG5119 21JesusG2424 beganG757 to showG1166 His disciplesG3101 that He mustG1163 goG565 to JerusalemG2414, and 22sufferG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183 from the eldersG4245 and chiefG749 priestsG749 and scribesG1122, and be killedG615, and be raisedG1453 up on the thirdG5154 dayG2250. 22PeterG4074 tookG4355 Him asideG4355 and beganG757 to rebukeG2008 Him, sayingG3004, “23GodG2436 forbidG2436 it, LordG2962! ThisG3778 shall neverG3756G3361 24happenG1510 to You.” 23But He turnedG4762 and saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “GetG5217 behindG3694 Me, 25SatanG4567! You are a stumblingG4625 blockG4625 to Me; for you are not settingG5426 your mindG5426 on 26God’sG2316 interests, but man’sG444.”

24ThenG5119 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “IfG1487 anyoneG5100 wishesG2309 to comeG2064 afterG3694 Me, he must denyG533 himselfG1438, and 27takeG142 up his crossG4716 and followG190 Me. 25For 28whoeverG3739G1437 wishesG2309 to saveG4982 his 29lifeG5590 will loseG622 it; but whoeverG3739G302 losesG622 his 30lifeG5590 for My sakeG1752 will findG2147 it. 26For whatG5101 will it profitG5623 a manG444 ifG1437 he gainsG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889 and forfeitsG2210 his soulG5590? OrG2228 whatG5101 will a manG444 giveG1325 in exchangeG465 for his soulG5590? 27For the 31SonG5207 of ManG444 32is goingG3195 to comeG2064 in the gloryG1391 of His FatherG3962 with His angelsG32, and 33will thenG5119 34repayG591 everyG1538 manG1538 accordingG2596 to his 35deedsG4234.

28“TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, there are someG5100 of thoseG3588 who are standingG2476 hereG5602 whoG3748 will not tasteG1089 deathG2288 untilG2193 they seeG3708 the 36SonG5207 of ManG444 37comingG2064 in His kingdomG932.”
