Matthew 16:13-28

13When Yeshua came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

14They answered, “Some say John the Immerser, others say Elijah, and still others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”

15He said, “But who do you say I am?”

16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

17Yeshua said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven!

18And I also tell you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My community; and the gates of Sheol will not overpower it.

19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will have been forbidden in heaven and what you permit on earth will have been permitted in heaven.”

20Then He ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Messiah.

21From that time on, Yeshua began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and ruling kohanim and Torah scholars, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.

22Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Never, Master! This must never happen to You!”

23But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, satan! You are a stumbling block to Me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but the things of men.”

24Then Yeshua said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

26For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

27For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then ‘He will repay everyone according to his deeds.’

28Amen, I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
