PETER'S CONFESSION OF CHRIST--OUR LORD'S FIRST EXPLICIT ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIS APPROACHING DEATH, AND WARNINGS ARISING OUT OF IT. (Luk 9:18-27)
will save--"Is minded to save," bent on saving. The pith of this maxim depends--as often in such weighty sayings (for example, "Let the dead bury the dead," Mat 8:22) --on the double sense attached to the word "life," a lower and a higher, the natural and the spiritual, temporal and eternal. An entire sacrifice of the lower, or a willingness to make it, is indispensable to the preservation of the higher life; and he who cannot bring himself to surrender the one for the sake of the other shall eventually lose both. |

22 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]; and [2532] let [863] the dead [3498] bury [2290] their [1438] dead [3498].
18 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], as [1722] he was [1511] alone [2651] praying [4336], his [846] disciples [3101] were with [4895] him [846]: and [2532] he asked [1905] them [846], saying [3004], Whom [5101] say [3004] the people [3793] that I [3165] am [1511]?
19 They [1161] answering [611] said [2036], John [2491] the Baptist [910]; but [1161] some [243] say, Elias [2243]; and [1161] others [243] say, that [3754] one [5100] of the old [744] prophets [4396] is risen again [450].
20 [1161] He said [2036] unto them [846], But [1161] whom [5101] say [3004] ye [5210] that I [3165] am [1511]? [1161] Peter [4074] answering [611] said [2036], The Christ [5547] of God [2316].
21 And [1161] he straitly charged [2008] them [846], and commanded [3853] them to tell [2036] no man [3367] that thing [5124];
22 Saying [2036], [3754] The Son [5207] of man [444] must [1163] suffer [3958] many things [4183], and [2532] be rejected [593] of [575] the elders [4245] and [2532] chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122], and [2532] be slain [615], and [2532] be raised [1453] the third [5154] day [2250].
23 And [1161] he said [3004] to [4314] them all [3956], If any man [1536] will [2309] come [2064] after [3694] me [3450], let him deny [533] himself [1438], and [2532] take up [142] his [846] cross [4716] daily [2250] [2596], and [2532] follow [190] me [3427].
24 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] will [2309] save [4982] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]: but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] will lose [622] his [846] life [5590] for my [1700] sake [1752], the same [3778] shall save [4982] it [846].
25 For [1063] what [5101] is [5623] a man [444] advantaged [5623], if he gain [2770] the whole [3650] world [2889], and [1161] lose [622] himself [1438], or [2228] be cast away [2210]?
26 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] shall be ashamed [1870] of me [3165] and [2532] of my [1699] words [3056], of him [5126] shall [1870] the Son [5207] of man [444] be ashamed [1870], when [3752] he shall come [2064] in [1722] his own [846] glory [1391], and [2532] in his Father's [3962], and [2532] of the holy [40] angels [32].
27 But [1161] I tell [3004] you [5213] of a truth [230], there be [1526] some [5100] standing [2476] here [5602], which [3739] shall [1089] not [3364] taste [1089] of death [2288], till [2193] [302] they see [1492] the kingdom [932] of God [2316].
30 And [2532] thou shalt love [25] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] heart [2588], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] soul [5590], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] mind [1271], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] strength [2479]: this [3778] is the first [4413] commandment [1785].
23 And [1161] he said [3004] to [4314] them all [3956], If any man [1536] will [2309] come [2064] after [3694] me [3450], let him deny [533] himself [1438], and [2532] take up [142] his [846] cross [4716] daily [2250] [2596], and [2532] follow [190] me [3427].
25 He that loveth [5368] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]; and [2532] he that hateth [3404] his [846] life [5590] in [1722] this [5129] world [2889] shall keep [5442] it [846] unto [1519] life [2222] eternal [166].
35 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] will [2309] save [4982] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]; but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall lose [622] his [846] life [5590] for [1752] my sake [1700] and [2532] the gospel's [2098], the same [3778] shall save [4982] it [846].
25 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] will [2309] save [4982] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]: and [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] will lose [622] his [846] life [5590] for [1752] my [1700] sake [1752] shall find [2147] it [846].
24 Then [5119] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto his [846] disciples [3101], If any [1536] man will [2309] come [2064] after [3694] me [3450], let him deny [533] himself [1438], and [2532] take up [142] his [846] cross [4716], and [2532] follow [190] me [3427].
