Mark [Hammer] 8:21-38

²¹He asked them, “Don’t you understand, yet?”

²²He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged him to touch him.

²³He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

²⁴He looked up, and said, “I see men; for I see them like trees walking.”

²⁵Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.

²⁶He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”

²⁷Yeshua Salvation went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi Ruler Loves horses. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”

²⁸They told him, “John Yah is gracious the Immerser, and others say Elijah My God Yah, but others: one of the prophets.”

²⁹He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter Rock answered, “You are the Messiah Anointed one.”

³⁰He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.

³¹He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the Torah-Teachers, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³²He spoke to them openly. Peter Rock took him, and began to rebuke him.

³³But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter Rock, and said, “Get behind me, Satan Adversary! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”

³⁴He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his execution-stake, and follow me.

³⁵For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.

³⁶For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

³⁷For what will a man give in exchange for his life?

³⁸For whoever will 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 comes in 'Aviv ·his Father·’s glory, with the holy angels.”
