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.”  

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him

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?  
27 For athe Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father bwith His angels, cand then He will reward each according to his works.  
28 “Assuredly, I say to you, athere are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

Matthew 16:25

For whosoever will save—is minded to save, or bent on saving.

his life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it—(See on Matthew 10:38-39). "A suffering and dying Messiah liketh you ill; but what if His servants shall meet the same fate? They may not; but who follows Me must be prepared for the worst."
