Mark 8:31

Then ¹  Jesus ²  began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer ³  many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, ⁴  and be killed, and after three days rise again.

1Sa 8:7; 1Sa 10:19; Ps 118:22; Isa 53:3; Ho 6:2; Jon 1:17; Mt 12:40; Mt 16:21; Mt 17:22; Mt 20:17-19; Mt 21:42; Mr 9:31,32; Mr 10:33,34; Mr 12:10; Lu 9:22; Lu 17:25; Lu 18:31-34; Lu 24:6,7,26,44; Joh 2:19; Joh 12:48; Ac 3:13-15; Ac 7:35,51,52; 1Co 15:4

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ sn The necessity that the Son of Man suffer is the particular point that needed emphasis, since for many 1st century Jews the Messiah was a glorious and powerful figure, not a suffering one.

⁴ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.
