| Notes: | Mark 8:31-38 (New Revised Standard Version)
31 Then 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.
33But 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.’
34 He called the crowd with his
disciples, and said to them, ‘If any want to become my followers, let
them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
35For 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,* will save it.
36For 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*
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.’
