Mark 8:31-9:1
Christian Standard Bible
His Death and Resurrection Predicted
31 Then(A) he began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of Man(B) to suffer many things and be rejected(C) by the elders,(D) chief priests, and scribes,(E) be killed, and rise(F) after three days.(G) 32 He spoke openly about this. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning around and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan!(H) You are not thinking about God’s concerns[a] but human concerns.”
Take Up Your Cross
34 Calling the crowd along with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself,(I) take up his cross,(J) and follow me.(K) 35 For whoever wants to save(L) his life will lose it,(M) but whoever loses(N) his life(O) because of me(P) and the gospel(Q) will save it.(R) 36 For what does it benefit(S) someone to gain(T) the whole world(U) and yet lose(V) his life?(W) 37 What can anyone give in exchange for his life?(X) 38 For whoever is ashamed(Y) of me and my words(Z) in this adulterous and sinful(AA) generation,(AB) the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory(AC) of his Father(AD) with the holy(AE) angels.”(AF)
9 Then he said to them, “Truly I tell you,(AG) there are some standing here who will not taste death(AH) until they see the kingdom of God come in power.”(AI)

Jesus Predicts His Death
31 Then Jesus began to tell them that the Son of Man[a] must suffer many terrible things and be rejected by the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but three days later he would rise from the dead. 32 As he talked about this openly with his disciples, Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things.[b]
33 Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples, then reprimanded Peter. “Get away from me, Satan!” he said. “You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”
34 Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. 35 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. 36 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?[c] 37 Is anything worth more than your soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
9 Jesus went on to say, “I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Kingdom of God arrive in great power!”
