Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
27oAnd Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28And they told him, p“John the Baptist; and others say, qElijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, r“You are sthe Christ.” 30tAnd he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.
Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
31uAnd he began to teach them that vthe Son of Man must wsuffer many things and xbe rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and yafter three days rise again. 32And he said this zplainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, a“Get behind me, Satan! For you bare not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
34And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him cdeny himself and dtake up his cross and follow me. 35For dwhoever would save his life4 will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake eand the gospel's will save it. 36fFor what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37For gwhat can a man give in return for his soul? 38For hwhoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this iadulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed jwhen he comes in the glory of his Father with kthe holy angels.”
