Mark 8:31-38

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

31 ¹And he began to teach them that ²the Son of Man must ³suffer many things and ⁴be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and ⁵after three days rise again.

32 And he said this ⁶plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

33 But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, ⁷“Get behind me, Satan! For you ⁸are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man. ”

34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him ⁹deny himself and ¹⁰take up his cross and follow me.

35 For ¹¹whoever would save his life^[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake ¹²and the gospel’s will save it.

36 ¹³For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?

37 For ¹⁴what can a man give in return for his soul?

38 For ¹⁵whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this ¹⁶adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed ¹⁷when he comes in the glory of his Father with ¹⁸the holy angels. ”
