31. He then began to teach
them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the
elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed
and after three days rise again.
32. He spoke plainly 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!" he said. "You do not have in mind
the things of God, but the things of men."
34. Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said:
"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up
his cross and follow me.
35. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses
his life for me and for the gospel will save it.
36. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his
soul?
37. Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
38. If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful
generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his
Father's glory with the holy angels."
