Matthew 16:23 in Context — Matthew 16

21 Desde então Jesus começou a mostrar a seus discípulos que ele tinha que ir a Jerusalém, e sofrer muito pelos anciãos, pelos chefes dos sacerdotes, e pelos escribas, e ser morto, e ser ressuscitado ao terceiro dia.

22 E Pedro o tomou à parte, e começou a repreendê-lo, dizendo: Misericórdia de ti, Senhor! De maneira nenhuma isso te aconteça.

23 Mas ele se virou, e disse a Pedro: Para trás de mim, Satanás! Tu és um meio de tropeço, porque não compreendes as coisas de Deus, mas sim as humanas.

24 Então Jesus disse a seus discípulos: Se alguém quiser vir após mim, negue-se a si mesmo, tome sobre si a sua cruz, e siga-me.
