u When Jesus came into the coasts of Ces.
area Phiiippi, he asked hi. Cisci 1es, saying
Whom do men say that the Son ofman amg
IA And they said, Some say that thou art
John the Baptist; some, Elias; and others
Ieremias, or one of the prophets
10 Hesaith unto them, But whom say ye
that / am?
Ii And Simon Peter answered and said
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living
God.
IL And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Blessed art thou, Simon Bar ona: for flesh
and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but
my Father which is in heaven.
Is And say also unto thee, That thou art
Peter, and upon this rock l will build my
church and the gates of hell shaa not pre-
veil against it.
~ And will give unto thee the keys of the
Kingdom of heaven and whatsoever thou
shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven.
y Then charged he his disciples that they
Christ.
u From that time forth began Jesus to
show unto his disciples. how that he must go
unto jerusalem and sntfer many things OF
the elders and chief priests and scribe .,
and be killed, and be raised again the
third day
y Then Peter took him, and began TO re
buke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord ::
this shall not be unto thee.
% ButShe turned and said unto Peter, Get
thee behind me, Satan thou art an offense
nHte me; for thou savorest not the things
that be of God but those that be of men.
"A Then said Jesus uto his disciples, ifany
man will come after me, let HIM deny him =
SELF and take up his cross and follow me.
% For whosoever will save mis- life shall
lose it and whesoever will lose his life ior
my sake shall find it.
26 For what is n man profted, if he shall
gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
or what shall a man give in exchange for his
soul
u Fog the Son of man shall come in the
glory of his Father with his angels; and
then he shall reward every man according to
his works.
Is Verify l say unto you, There be some
standing here which shall not taste of death,
TIL they see the Son of man coming in his
kingdom.
