Mark 8:31–9:1

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

³¹Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes and be killed and after three days rise again. ³²He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.^{* 33}But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.”^*

³⁴He called the crowd with his disciples and said to them, “If any wish to come^m after me, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.^{* 35}For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel,ⁿ will save it.^{* 36}For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? ³⁷Indeed, what can they give in return for their life? ³⁸Those who are ashamed of me and of my words^o in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”^*

⁹And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the kingdom of God has come with^p power.”^*
