Contextual Overview

18On another occasion, the twelve cowboys came to Jesus as he prayed alone. When they walked up, he asked them, "Who does everyone think I am?" 19"Some say you are John the Baptizer," one of 'em said. "Others claim you are Elijah or one of the other great cowboys of God from long ago." 20"What about y'all?" he asked them. "Who do you think I am?"Pete said, "You are God's Top Hand. The one who will gather us and save us from the coming brush fire." 21Jesus told all of 'em not to tell anyone what Pete had just said. 22He then told 'em, "God's Top Hand will suffer terribly at the hands of the religious institution. They will kill him, but three days later he will come over the hill, riding back from the dead." 23And then he spoke up for all to hear. "If you want to ride with me, you've got to quit riding for yourself, sacrifice your own desires, and follow me. 24If you try to protect your own life, you'll lose it, but if you are willing to lose your life for me, you will find it. 25What does a man gain if he has everything in the world, but loses himself in the process? 26If you are ashamed of my brand, then God's Top Hand will shut the gate to God's outfit on you. 27I'm telling you straight that there are some here now who will not die before they have seen God's outfit."

Cross-References

Matthew 18:15
"If a cowboy who works for me does something to you that is against one of my rules (not yours), be a man and go talk to him about it. Let it be just between the two of you. Don't go round up all your buddies or even tell them what you're doin'. If he listens to you, y'all will be able to ride together.
1 Corinthians 13:6
Love don't condone injustice, but celebrates truth.
Galatians 6:1
Cowboys, if you catch someone doing something they shouldn't, you should love 'em enough to set 'em back on the right path; but do it gently. And another thing, watch what you're doing, too. Don't be a hypocrite and point out people's faults while you're neck deep in the same mud.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Saying, the son of man must suffer many things,.... In his person and character, in his soul and body, at the hands of God, and of men, and devils:

and be rejected of the elders, and chief priests, and Scribes; who made up the grand sanhedrim of the nation: by these he was to be, and was rejected as the Messiah; and when put up with another which should be released, that other should be preferred, and he rejected; and which was done at the instigation of these men, who were the builders; of whom it was foretold that they should reject the head stone of the corner, Psalms 118:22

and be slain; or put to death, with the death of the cross:

and be raised the third day; according to the types and prophecies of the Old Testament. This he added for the comfort of his disciples.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the Matthew 16:13-27 notes; Mark 8:27-38 notes.

Luke 9:20

The Christ of God - The “Anointed” of God. The “Messiah” appointed by God, and who had been long promised by him. See the notes at Matthew 1:1.
