21 From that time onwards, Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) began showing his apprentices that he needed to go to Yerushalem (Jerusalem) and to suffer at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and religious teachers there, before being executed and then coming back to life on the third day.

22 But Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) took him aside and started telling him off, saying, “Goodness gracious, master, this certainly won’t happen to you.”

23 Yeshua turned towards Kefa and said, “Get behind me, Satan. You’re tempting me because you’re not thinking in a godly way, but only in human terms.”

24 Then Yeshua told his apprentices, “If anyone wants to follow me, they need to suppress their own desires and be ready to sacrifice and to suffer, and then follow me,[ref] 25 because anyone who wants to save their life will lose it, but anyone who loses their life on my account will find it.[ref] 26 What help would it be to a person if they gain everything in the world, and yet lose their soul? Or put another way, what could a person give in exchange for their soul? 27 The son of humanity is going to return displaying his father’s splendour, accompanied by his messengers,[ref] and then he’ll reward each individual according to their behaviour.[ref] 28 I can assure you that some people standing here won’t experience death until they first see the son of humanity coming as king.”

31 Then Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) began teaching his apprentices that the son of humanity would need to suffer a lot, to be rejected by the religious leaders, and so to be put to death but to come back to life after three days. 32 He taught this very clearly, but Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) took him aside and told him off. 33 Yeshua turned back and looked at the others, then reprimanded Kefa, “Stand back, Satan—you’re applying human values instead of considering God’s plan.”

34 Calling out to them and to the crowd, he said, “Anyone who wants to follow me must first put aside their own desires and then follow me—even through very difficult times.[ref] 35 Anyone who worries about saving their own life will lose it, but anyone who gives their life due to following me and my teaching will save their life.[ref] 36 No, it doesn’t benefit a person if they gain everything in the world yet lose their soul. 37 What can someone offer in order to buy a home for their soul? 38 Yes, anyone who’s ashamed of me and my message in front of this adulterous and sinful generation, the son of humanity will likewise be ashamed of them when he comes clearly displaying his father’s greatness and bringing the holy messengers.”

9 Then he continued, “I can assure you that some of the ones standing here won’t die until they’ve seen God’s powerful kingdom arrive.”

23 Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) said, “If anyone wants to become my follower, then that person needs to renounce their own desires and follow me, even in suffering and death,[ref] 24 because anyone who wants to save their own life will lose it, but anyone who is prepared to lose their life on account of me, they’ll be saving their life.[ref] 25 How would it benefit a person if they gained the wealth of the whole world, but then ended up lost or destroyed? 26 Because anyone who’s ashamed of me and my teachings, the son of humanity will be ashamed of that person when he comes in his splendour and with the splendour of the father and of God’s messengers. 27 But I can certainly tell you that some of those who are standing here won’t die until they see God’s kingdom.
