Mark 8:27-37

27 Yeshua went forth, with his talmidim, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his talmidim, "Who do men say that I am?"
28 They told him, "Yochanan the immerser, and others: Eliyah, but others: one of the prophets."
29 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Kefa answered, "You are the Messiah."
30 He charged them that they should tell no one about him.
31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the Zakenim, the chief Kohanim, and the Sofrim, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 He spoke to them openly. Kefa took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 But he, turning around, and seeing his talmidim, rebuked Kefa, and said, "Get behind me, Hasatan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men."
34 He called the multitude to himself with his talmidim, and said to them, "Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the Good News's will save it.
36 For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
37 For what should a man give in exchange for his life?
