Matthew 16:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 Then Peter [a]took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, Master, pity thyself: this shall not be unto thee.
23 [b]Then he turned back, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, [c]Satan: thou art an offence unto me, because thou [d]understandest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
24 [e]Jesus then said to his disciples, (A)If any man will follow me, let him forsake himself: and take up his cross, and follow me.
