the one I love, in whom I take great delight. ⁴ 

I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.

until he brings justice to victory.

First Prediction of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection

16:21 From that time on ⁵  Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem ⁶  and suffer ⁷  many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, ⁸  and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 16:22 So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him: ⁹  “God forbid, ¹⁰  Lord! This must not happen to you!” 16:23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but on man’s.” ¹¹
