Matt.16.21

Then Jesus made it clear to his disciples that it was now necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, submit to an ordeal of suffering at the hands of the religious leaders, be killed, and then on the third day be raised up alive.

Matt.16.21

From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

He would suffer at the hands of the leaders and the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, and he would be raised on the third day.

Matt.16.22

Peter took him in hand, protesting, "Impossible, Master! That can never be!"

Matt.16.22

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. "Never, Lord!" he said. "This shall never happen to you!"

Matt.16.22

Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!"

Matt.16.22

But Peter took him aside and corrected him. "Heaven forbid, Lord," he said. "This will never happen to you!"

Matt.16.23

But Jesus didn't swerve. "Peter, get out of my way. Satan, get lost. You have no idea how God works."

Matt.16.23

Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."

Matt.16.23

But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."

Matt.16.23

Jesus turned to Peter and said, "Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, and not from God's."

Matt.16.24

Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how.

Matt.16.24

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

Matt.16.25

Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.

Matt.16.25

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.

Matt.16.25

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

Matt.16.25

If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life.

Matt.16.26

What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?

Matt.16.26

What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Matt.16.26

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Matt.16.26

And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul?

Matt.16.27

"Don't be in such a hurry to go into business for yourself. Before you know it the Son of Man will arrive with all the splendor of his Father, accompanied by an army of angels. You'll get everything you have coming to you, a personal gift.

Matt.16.27

For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.

Matt.16.27

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

Matt.16.27

For I, the Son of Man, will come in the glory of my Father with his angels and will judge all people according to their deeds.

Matt.16.28

This isn't pie in the sky by and by. Some of you standing here are going to see it take place, see the Son of Man in kingdom glory."

Matt.16.28

I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

Matt.16.28

Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

Matt.16.28

And I assure you that some of you standing here right now will not die before you see me, the Son of Man, coming in my Kingdom."

Matt.17.3

And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

Matt.17.3

Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking with Jesus.

Matt.17.4

Peter broke in, "Master, this is a great moment! What would you think if I built three memorials here on the mountain--one for you, one for Moses, one for Elijah?"

Matt.17.4

Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."

Matt.17.4

Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Matt.17.4

Peter blurted out, "Lord, this is wonderful! If you want me to, I'll make three shrines, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Matt.17.5

While he was going on like this, babbling, a light-radiant cloud enveloped them, and sounding from deep in the cloud a voice: "This is my Son, marked by my love, focus of my delight. Listen to him."

Matt.17.5

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"

Matt.17.5

But even as he said it, a bright cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, and I am fully pleased with him. Listen to him."

But Jesus came and touched them and said, "Arise, and do not be afraid."

Matt.17.7

Matt.17.8

When they opened their eyes and looked around all they saw was Jesus, only Jesus.

When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

Matt.17.8

When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

Matt.17.8

And when they looked, they saw only Jesus with them.

Matt.17.9

Coming down the mountain, Jesus swore them to secrecy. "Don't breathe a word of what you've seen. After the Son of Man is raised from the dead, you are free to talk."

Matt.17.9

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, "Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."

Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.

Matt.17.11

Jesus answered and said to them, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.

Matt.17.11

Jesus replied, "Elijah is indeed coming first to set everything in order.

Matt.17.12

I'm telling you, Elijah has already come but they didn't know him when they saw him. They treated him like dirt, the same way they are about to treat the Son of Man."

Matt.17.12

But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

Matt.17.12

But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands."

Matt.17.12

But I tell you, he has already come, but he wasn't recognized, and he was badly mistreated. And soon the Son of Man will also suffer at their hands."
