Mark 8:31-9:1

New American Standard Bible

³¹^(A)And He began to teach them that ^(B)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 from the dead. ³²And He was stating the matter ^(C)plainly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. ³³But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and *said, “Get behind Me, ^(D)Satan; for you are not setting your mind on ^[a]God’s purposes, but on man’s.”

³⁴And He summoned the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, ^(E)take up his cross, and follow Me. ³⁵For ^(F)whoever wants to save his ^[b]life will lose it, but whoever loses his ^[c]life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. ³⁶For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? ³⁷For what could a person give in exchange for his soul? ³⁸For ^(G)whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, ^(H)the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He ^(I)comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

The Transfiguration

9 And Jesus was saying to them, “^(J)Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God when it has come with power.”
