8:35. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel shall save it.
8:36. For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
8:37. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul:
8:38. For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
8:39. And he said to them: Amen f say to you that there are some of them that stand here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.
Mark Chapter 9
Christ is transfigured. He casts out the dumb spirit. He teaches humility and to avoid scandal.
9:1. And after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them.
9:2. And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
9:3. And there appeared to them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
