31 それから、やがてご自分が経験する恐ろしい出来事――長老、祭司長、ユダヤ人の指導者たちに捨てられ、殺され、三日目に復活すること――を弟子たちに話し始められました。 32 それも、実にはっきりとお話しになったので、ペテロはイエスをわきに呼び、「そんなことをおっしゃるものではありません」といさめました。

33 イエスはふり返って弟子たちを見ながら、非常にきびしい口調でペテロに言われました。「下がれ、サタン! あなたはただ人間的な見方をして、神のことを考えてみようともしていません。」

34 それから、弟子たちと群衆とを呼び寄せ、こう言われました。「だれでもわたしについて来たければ、自分中心の生活をやめ、自分の十字架を負って、わたしについて来なさい。 35 自分のいのちを守ることばかりにとらわれている者は、それを失います。わたしと福音とのためにいのちを捨てる者が、いのちを得るのです。

36 たとえ全世界を自分のものにしても、いのちを失ったら、何の得があるでしょう。 37 いのちを買い戻すどんな手だてがあるというのでしょう。 38 この不信仰と罪の時代にあって、わたしとわたしのことばとを恥じるなら、メシヤであるわたしも、やがて父の栄光を帯びて聖なる天使と共に帰って来る時、そのような者を恥じるのです。」

栄光に輝くイエス

イエスはさらに、ことばをお続けになりました。「ここに立っている人たちの中には、神の国が大きな力を持って来るのを見るまで、生きている人がいます。」

Jesus Predicts His Death(A)

31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man(B) must suffer many things(C) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(D) and that he must be killed(E) and after three days(F) rise again.(G) 32 He spoke plainly(H) 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!”(I) 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.(J) 35 For whoever wants to save their life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.(K) 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(L) will be ashamed of them(M) when he comes(N) in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

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(O) with power.”(P)

  1. Mark 8:35 The Greek word means either life or soul; also in verses 36 and 37.

31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection(A)

31 And (B)He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be (C)rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be (D)killed, and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. 33 But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He (E)rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not [a]mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him(F)

34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, (G)“Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For (H)whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 (I)For whoever (J)is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

The Transfiguration of Christ(K)

And He said to them, (L)“Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see (M)the kingdom of God [b]present with power.”
