 Jesus knew He had to die on the cross, and He prophesied His death and resurrection. Matthew 16, 21-23 says, From that time Jesus Christ began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised up on the third day. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You!
