First announcement about the 
passion and resurrection
21From that day Jesus began to make it clear to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem; he would suffer many things from the Jewish authorities, the chief priests and the teachers of the Law. He would be killed and be raised on the third day.
22Then Peter took him aside and began to reproach him: 
—Never, Lord! No, this must never happen to you. 
23But Jesus turned to him and said: 
—Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle in my path. You are thinking not as God does, but as people do.
24Then Jesus said to his disciples: 
—If you want to follow me, deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me. 25For whoever chooses to save his life will lose it, but the one who loses his life for my sake will find it. 26What will one gain by winning the whole world if he destroys himself? There is nothing you can give to recover your own self.
