Matthew 16:22-24
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
22 Then Peter took Him aside [a]to speak to Him privately and began to reprove and [b]charge Him sharply, saying, God forbid, Lord! This must never happen to You!
23 But Jesus turned [c]away from Peter and said to him, Get behind Me, Satan! You are in My way [an offense and a hindrance and a snare to Me]; for you are [d]minding what partakes not of the nature and quality of God, but of men.
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to be My disciple, let him deny himself [disregard, lose sight of, and forget himself and his own interests] and take up his cross and follow Me [[e]cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying, also].
