The Lord be with you.  
And with your spirit 
The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew

Jesus began to show his disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and there He must suffer at the hands of the scribes and the Pharisees and the chief priests. That He must be killed. And that on the third day, He must raise from the dead. Now when Peter heard this, he said to Jesus, "Lord, this will never happen to you." Jesus said to him, "Get behind me, Satan. You're thinking the thoughts of human beings, not the thought of God." And then He said to them, "Anyone who wants to be my disciple must take up his cross and follow after me. Whoever would keep his life will lose it. And whoever loses his life for my sake will have it. What do you gain by giving up everything just to inherit the goods of the earth. I assure you that those who accept my word shall live forever. "
