Mark 8:27–35
27And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he
asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28And they told him, “John the Baptist; and
others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29And he asked them, “But who do you say
that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” 30And he strictly charged them to tell no
one about him.
31And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by
the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32And he said this plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33But turning and
seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting
your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
34And he called to him the crowd with his disciples and said to them, “If anyone would come
after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35For whoever would save
his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.”
