8:31 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.
8:32 He said all this quite openly. And
Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
8:33 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."
8:34 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.
8:35 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,
will save it.
8:36 For what will it profit them to gain
the whole world and forfeit their life?
8:37 Indeed, what can they give in return
for their life?
8:38 Those 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."
