Mark 8:31-33

EasyEnglish Bible

Jesus tells his disciples how he will die

³¹ Then Jesus began to teach his disciples about the things that must happen to the Son of Man.^[a] He would have to suffer in many ways. The important Jews, the leaders of the priests and the teachers of God's Law would turn against him. People would kill him. But after three days, he would become alive again.

³² What Jesus said was very clear. Then Peter took Jesus away from the other disciples. Peter began to tell Jesus that he must not say things like that.

³³ Jesus turned round and he looked at his disciples. He said that Peter was not saying good things. He said to Peter, ‘Satan, go away from me!^[b] Your thoughts do not come from God. Instead, you are thinking like men think.’
