Tree Of Life Version

Matthew 16:20-26 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

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

21. From that time on, Yeshua began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and ruling kohanim and Torah scholars, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.

22. Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Never, Master! This must never happen to You!”

23. But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, satan! You are a stumbling block to Me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but the things of men.”

24. Then Yeshua said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

25. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

26. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
