Mark 8:22-9:1
English Standard Version
Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida
22 And they came (A)to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. 23 And (B)he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when (C)he had (D)spit on his eyes and (E)laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24 And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.” 25 Then Jesus[a] laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 And he sent him to his home, saying, (F)“Do not even enter the village.”
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
27 (G)And 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?” 28 And they told him, (H)“John the Baptist; and others say, (I)Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, (J)“You are (K)the Christ.” 30 (L)And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.
Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
31 (M)And he began to teach them that (N)the Son of Man must (O)suffer many things and (P)be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and (Q)after three days rise again. 32 And he said this (R)plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, (S)“Get behind me, Satan! For you (T)are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him (U)deny himself and (V)take up his cross and follow me. 35 For (W)whoever would save his life[b] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake (X)and the gospel's will save it. 36 (Y)For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For (Z)what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For (AA)whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this (AB)adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed (AC)when he comes in the glory of his Father with (AD)the holy angels.”
9 And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not (AE)taste death (AF)until they see the kingdom of God after it has come (AG)with power.”

New International Version
Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida
22 They came to Bethsaida,(A) and some people brought a blind man(B) and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit(C) on the man’s eyes and put his hands on(D) him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”
24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”
25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into[a] the village.”
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(E)
27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”
28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(F) others say Elijah;(G) and still others, one of the prophets.”
29 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”(H)
30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.(I)
Jesus Predicts His Death(J)
31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man(K) must suffer many things(L) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(M) and that he must be killed(N) and after three days(O) rise again.(P) 32 He spoke plainly(Q) 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!”(R) he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
The Way of the Cross
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.(S) 35 For whoever wants to save their life[b] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.(T) 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(U) will be ashamed of them(V) when he comes(W) in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
9 And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come(X) with power.”(Y)
