And he recovered and saw everything sharp and clear. And Jesus
sent him off to his own house with the words, "Don't even go into the
village."
Jesus' question: Peter's inspired answer
8:27 - Jesus then went away with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea
Philippi. On the way he asked them, "Who are men saying that I am?"
8:28 - "John the Baptist," they answered. "But others say that you are Elijah
or, some say, one of the prophets."
8:29 - Then he asked them, "But what about you - who do you say that I am?"
"You are Christ!" answered Peter.
8:30 - Then Jesus impressed it upon them that they must not mention this to
anyone.
Jesus speaks of the future and of the cost of discipleship
8:31-33 - And he began to teach them that it was inevitable that the Son of
Man should go through much suffering and be utterly repudiated by the elders
and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
He told them all this quite bluntly. This made Peter draw him on one side and
take him to task about what he had said. But Jesus turned and faced his
disciples and rebuked Peter. "Out of my way, Satan!" he said. "Peter, you are
not looking at things from God's point of view, but from man's!"
8:34-38 - Then he called his disciples and the people around him, and said to
them, "If anyone wants to follow in my footsteps, he must give up all right to
himself, take up his cross and follow me. The man who tries to save his life
will lose it; it is the man who loses his life for my sake and the Gospel's
who will save it. What good can it do a man to gain the whole world at the
price of his own soul? What can a man offer to buy back his soul once he has
lost it? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this unfaithful and sinful
generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in the
Father's glory with the holy angels around him."
CHAPTER 9
Jesus foretells his glory
9:1 - Then he added, "Believe me, there are some of you standing here who will
know nothing of death until you have seen the kingdom of God coming in its
power!"
9:2-5 - Six days later, Jesus took Peter and James and John with him and led
them high up on a hill-side where they were entirely alone. His whole
appearance changed before their eyes, while his clothes became white, dazzling
white - whiter than any earthly bleaching could make them. Elijah and Moses
appeared to the disciples and stood there in conversation with Jesus. Peter
burst out to Jesus, "Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Shall we put
up three shelters - one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah?"
9:6-7 - He really did not know what to say, for they were very frightened.
Then came a cloud which overshadowed them and a voice spoke out of the cloud,
"This is my dearly-loved Son. Listen to him!"
9:8-11 - Then, quite suddenly they looked all round them and saw nobody at all
with them but Jesus. And as they came down the hill-side, he warned them not
to tell anybody what they had seen till "the Son of Man should have risen
again from the dead". They treasured this remark and tried to puzzle out among
themselves what "Rising from the dead" could mean. Then they asked him this
question, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come before Christ?"
9:12-13 - "It is quite true," he told them, "that Elijah does come first, and
begins the restitution of all things. But what does the scripture say about
the Son of Man? This: that he must go through much suffering and be treated
with contempt! I tell you that not only has Elijah come already but they have
done to him exactly what they wanted - just as the scripture says of him."
Jesus heals an epileptic boy
9:14-15 - Then as they rejoined the other disciples, they saw that they were
surrounded by a large crowd, and that some of the scribes were arguing with
them. As soon as the people saw Jesus, they ran forward excitedly to welcome
him.
9:16 - "What is the trouble?" Jesus asked them.
9:17-18 - A man from the crowd answered, "Master, I brought my son to you
because he has a dumb spirit. Wherever he is, it gets hold of him, throws him
