Matthew 16:20-22

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁰ Then he strictly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

Jesus Foretells That He Will Die and Come Back to Life^(A)

²¹ From that time on Jesus began to inform his disciples that he had to go to Jerusalem. There he would have to suffer a lot because of the leaders, the chief priests, and the experts in Moses’ Teachings. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be brought back to life.

²² Peter took him aside and objected to this. He said, “Heaven forbid, Lord! This must never happen to you!”
