We hear about how Jesus must suffer many things and that we are called to take up our cross and follow Jesus. ...read more

It is a continuation from Matthew 16:13-20, in which Peter acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God. Now Jesus is telling his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem to ...read more
