23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, aSatan! bYou are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

24 aThen Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and bfollow Me.  
25 For awhoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.  
26 For what aprofit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or bwhat will a man give in exchange for his soul?
