MARK—NOTE ON Mark 8:34 Following the first major prediction of his death and resurrection (v. Mark 8:31), Jesus gives instructions in discipleship to all those who would come after me. They should deny themselves and take up their cross so that they will be free to follow the Messiah (Mark 1:18). Each of the major predictions of Jesus’ death and resurrection (see chart) is followed by teaching on discipleship (Mark 8:33; Mark 9:33; Mark 10:38).
