Mark 8:31–38

31 wAnd he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be xrejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after ythree days rise again. 32 And he said this plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, z“Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”

34 aAnd calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and btake up his cross and cfollow me. 35 dFor whoever would save his life1 will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the egospel’s will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to fgain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For whoever is gashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he hcomes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
