Our Lord Foretells His Death, Resurrection,
And The Trials Of His Followers
74. Mark 8:31-9:1
31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must
suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the
chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days
rise again. 32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter
took him, and began to rebuke him. 33 But when he had
turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter,
saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the
things that be of God, but the things that be of men. 34 And
when he had called the people unto him with his disciples
also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let
him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall
save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man
give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall
be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and
sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be
ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the
holy angels.
CHAPTER 9
1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there
be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of
death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with
power.
