And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Then said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the and of the . And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. Which when perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little , why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the and of the ?

From that time forth began to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto , and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and , and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

Then said unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his , and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the shall come in the of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the coming in his kingdom.
