Matthew 16:23 in Context — Matthew 16

21 Dès lors Jésus commença à faire connaître à ses disciples qu’il fallait qu’il allât à Jérusalem, qu’il souffrît beaucoup de la part des anciens, des principaux sacrificateurs et des scribes, qu’il fût mis à mort, et qu’il ressuscitât le troisième jour.

22 Pierre, l’ayant pris à part, se mit à le reprendre, et dit: A Dieu ne plaise, Seigneur! Cela ne t’arrivera pas.

23 Mais Jésus, se retournant, dit à Pierre: Arrière de moi, Satan!tu m’es en scandale; car tes pensées ne sont pas les pensées de Dieu, mais celles des hommes.

24 Alors Jésus dit à ses disciples: Si quelqu’un veut venir après moi, qu’il renonce à lui-même, qu’il se charge de sa croix, et qu’il me suive.

25 Car celui qui voudra sauver sa vie la perdra, mais celui qui la perdra à cause de moi la trouvera.
