For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life--that man shall save it.

So Jesus said to him: "Do at once what you are going to do."

"Where are you going, Master?" asked Peter. "I am going where you cannot now follow me," answered Jesus, "but you shall follow me later." "Why cannot I follow you now, Master?" asked Peter.
