Twenty-second Sunday of Ordinary Time

Matthew 16:21 - 25

 

 

Jesus began telling his disciples what would happen to him.

He said, “I must go to Jerusalem.

There the nation’s leaders, the chief priests,

and the teachers of the Law of Moses will make me suffer terribly.

I will be killed,

but three days later I will rise to life.”

Peter took Jesus aside and told him to stop talking like that.

He said, “Lord, surely God won’t let this happen to you!”

Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Satan, get away from me!”

You’re in my way because you think like everyone else

and not like God.”

Then Jesus said to his disciples:

“If any of you want to be my followers,

you must forget about yourself.

You must take up your cross and follow me.

If you want to save your life,

you will destroy it.

But if you give up your life for me,

you will find it.”
