Matthew 16:17-28

17And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “BlessedG3107 are you, 1SimonG4613 2BarjonaG920, becauseG3754 3fleshG4561 and bloodG129 did not revealG601 this to you, but My FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in heavenG3772. 18And I alsoG2532 sayG3004 to you that you are 45PeterG4074, and upon thisG3778 6rockG4073 I will buildG3618 My churchG1577; and the gatesG4439 of 7HadesG86 will not overpowerG2729 it. 19I will giveG1325 you 8the keysG2807 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772; and 9whateverG3739G1437 you 10bindG1210 on earthG1093 11shall have been boundG1210 in heavenG3772, and whateverG3739G1437 you 12looseG3089 on earthG1093 13shall have been loosedG3089 in heavenG3772.” 2014ThenG5119 He gaveG2008 the disciplesG3101 strictG2008 ordersG2008 that they were to tellG3004 noG3367 oneG3367 that He was 15the 16ChristG5547.

2117From thatG5119 timeG5119 18JesusG2424 beganG757 to 19pointG1166 outG1166 to His disciplesG3101 that it was necessaryG1163 for Him to goG565 to JerusalemG2414 and to 20sufferG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183 from the eldersG4245, chiefG749 priestsG749, and scribesG1122, and to be killedG615, and to be raisedG1453 upG1453 on the thirdG5154 dayG2250. 22And yet PeterG4074 tookG4355 Him asideG4355 and beganG757 to rebukeG2008 Him, sayingG3004, “21GodG2436 forbidG2436 it, LordG2962! ThisG3778 shall neverG3756G3361 22happenG1510 to You!” 23But He turnedG4762 and saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “GetG5217 behindG3694 Me, 23SatanG4567! You are a stumblingG4625 blockG4625 to Me; for you are not settingG5426 your mindG5426 onG5426 24God’sG2316 purposes, but men’sG444.”

24ThenG5119 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “IfG1487 anyoneG5100 wantsG2309 to comeG2064 afterG3694 Me, he must denyG533 himselfG1438, 25takeG142 upG142 his crossG4716, and followG190 Me. 25For 26whoeverG3739G1437 wantsG2309 to saveG4982 his 27lifeG5590 will loseG622 it; but whoeverG3739G302 losesG622 his 28lifeG5590 for My sakeG1752 will findG2147 it. 26For whatG5101 goodG5623 will it doG5623 a personG444 ifG1437 he gainsG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, but 29forfeitsG2210 his soulG5590? OrG2228 whatG5101 will a personG444 giveG1325 in exchangeG465 for his soulG5590? 27For the 30SonG5207 of ManG444 31isG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 comeG2064 in the gloryG1391 of His FatherG3962 with His angelsG32, and 32will thenG5119 repayG591 everyG1538 personG1538 accordingG2596 to his 33deedsG4234.

28“TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, there are someG5100 of thoseG3588 who are standingG2476 hereG5602 whoG3748 will not tasteG1089 deathG2288 untilG2193 they seeG3708 the 34SonG5207 of ManG444 35comingG2064 in His kingdomG932.”
