Matthew 16:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² Peter took Jesus aside and ·told him not to talk like that [^Lbegan to reprimand/rebuke him]. He said, “·God save you from those things [God forbid; May it never be; ^L(God) Be merciful], Lord! Those things ·will never [must certainly not] happen to you!”

²³ Then Jesus turned and said to Peter, “·Go away from [Get behind] me, Satan! You are ·not helping [an obstacle/stumbling block to] me! You ·don’t care about [are not setting your mind on/thinking about] the things of God, but only ·about the things people think are important [on/about human concerns].”

²⁴ Then Jesus said to his ·followers [disciples], “If ·people want [^Lanyone wants] to follow me, they must ·give up the things they want [deny themselves; turn from selfishness; set aside their own interests]. They must ·be willing even to give up their lives to [^Ltake up their cross and] follow me.
