22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”
So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “God forbid, Lord! This shall certainly not happen to yoʋ.”
23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men.”

Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
