The Gospel of Mark 8

Following Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and rebuking Jesus is the voice of the king of darkness speaking to you. Jesus must be followed by coming after Him, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Him.

Jesus cautions the twelve disciples against the Pharisees and Herodians; today’s false teachers and leaders by removing God and our Lord Jesus Christ, and persecuting believers, and promoting evil.
