Mark 8:34-38

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, "If anyone would come after me, let him c deny himself and d take up his cross and follow me. 35 For d whoever would save his life 1 will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake e and the gospel's will save it. 36 f For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For g what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For h whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this i adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed j when he comes in the glory of his Father with k the holy angels."
