Mark 8:31-38

Mark 8:31-38 CSB

Then  he began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of Man  to suffer many things and be rejected  by the elders,  chief priests, and scribes,  be killed, and rise  after three days.  He spoke openly about this. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning around and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan!   You are not thinking about God’s concerns   but human concerns.” Calling the crowd along with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself,   take up his cross,   and follow me.   For whoever wants to save   his life will lose it,   but whoever loses   his life   because of me   and the gospel   will save it.   For what does it benefit   someone to gain   the whole world   and yet lose   his life?   What can anyone give in exchange for his life?   For whoever is ashamed   of me and my words   in this adulterous and sinful   generation,   the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory   of his Father   with the holy   angels.”
