The Scriptures 1998

Mark 8:30-38 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

30. And He warned them that they should speak to no one about Him.

31. And He began to teach them that the Son of Aḏam has to suffer much, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days to rise again.

32. And He was speaking about this openly. Then Kĕpha, taking Him aside, began to rebuke Him.

33. And turning around and seeing His taught ones, He rebuked Kĕpha, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For your thoughts are not those of Elohim, but those of men.”

34. And calling near the crowd with His taught ones, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his stake, and follow Me.

35. “For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for the sake of Me and the Good News, he shall save it.

36. “For what shall it profit a man if he gains all the world, and loses his own life?

37. “Or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?

38. “For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinning generation, of him the Son of Aḏam also shall be ashamed when He comes in the esteem of His Father with the set-apart messengers.”
