Mark 8 v 31 to end
The Way of the Cross
31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things
and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,
and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.
32 He spoke plainly
about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. ‘Get
behind me, Satan!’ he said. ‘You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but
merely human concerns.’
34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: ‘Whoever
wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and
follow me.
35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever
loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.
36 What good is it for
someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
37 Or what can anyone
give in exchange for their soul?
38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words
in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of
them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.’
