Contextual Overview

¹⁸ One time when Jesus was praying alone, his followers were with him, and he asked them, "Who do the people say I am?" ¹⁹ They answered, "Some say you are John the Baptist. Others say you are Elijah. And others say you are one of the prophets from long ago who has come back to life." ²⁰ Then Jesus asked, "But who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ from God." ²¹ Jesus warned them not to tell anyone, saying, ²² "The Son of Man must suffer many things. He will be rejected by the Jewish elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of the law. He will be killed and after three days will be raised from the dead." ²³ Jesus said to all of them, "If people want to follow me, they must give up the things they want. They must be willing to give up their lives daily to follow me. ²⁴ Those who want to save their lives will give up true life. But those who give up their lives for me will have true life. ²⁵ It is worthless to have the whole world if they themselves are destroyed or lost. ²⁶ If people are ashamed of me and my teaching, then the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and with the glory of the Father and the holy angels. ²⁷ I tell you the truth, some people standing here will see the kingdom of God before they die."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For what is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world,.... Or what profit will it be unto him? all the honours, riches, and enjoyments of it will be of no use and service to him if he himself is lost:

and lose himself; or his own soul; for he that loses his soul, which is his better and immortal part, loses himself:

or be cast away: finally, and eternally, or "suffer loss" of eternal happiness and glory; that is, perishes, and is destroyed with an everlasting destruction; :-.

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 25. Lose himself — That is, his life or soul. See the parallel places, Matthew 16:25; Mark 8:35, and especially the note on the former.

Or be cast away? — Or receive spiritual damage η ζημιωθεις. I have added the word spiritual here, which I conceive to be necessarily implied. Because, if a man received only temporal damage in some respect or other, yet gaining the whole world must amply compensate him. But if he should receive spiritual damage - hurt to his soul in the smallest degree, the possession of the universe could not indemnify him. Earthly goods may repair earthly losses, but they cannot repair any breach that may be made in the peace or holiness of the soul. Matthew 16:26.
