hee, this shall not be unto thee.

And Peter taking him... That is, taking him aside, out of a tender love,
respect and zeal for his Lord and Master's honour, began to expostulate
with him, as it were to rebuke him, saying, Lord, far be it from thee to
suffer death; but the Lord said to Peter, ver. 23, Go behind me, Satan.
These words may signify, Begone from me; but the holy Fathers expound
them otherwise, that is, come after me, or follow me; and by these words
the Lord would have Peter to follow him in his suffering, and not to
oppose the divine will by contradiction; for the word satan means in
Hebrew an adversary, or one that opposes.

16:23. Who turning, said to Peter: Go behind me, Satan, thou art a
scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God,
but the things that are of men.

16:24. Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

16:25. For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall
lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

16:26. For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and
suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for
his soul?

16:27. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his
angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works.

16:28. Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that
shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his
kingdom.

Matthew Chapter 17

The Transfiguration of Christ: He cures the lunatic child: foretells his
passion; and pays the didrachma.

17:1. And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John
his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:

17:2. And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the
sun: and his garments became white as snow.

17:3. And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with
him.

17:4. And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be
here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee,
and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

17:5. And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed
them. And lo a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.

17:6. And the disciples hearing fell upon their face, and were very much
afraid.

17:7. And Jesus came and touched
