Matthew 16:25 in Context — Matthew 16

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.

26 Et que servirait-il à un homme de gagner tout le monde, s’il perdait son âme? Ou,que donnerait un homme en échange de son âme?

27 Car le Fils de l’homme doit venir dans lagloire de son Père, avec ses anges; etalors il rendra à chacun selon ses œuvres.
