What happensPermalink
Jesus again tries to retreat from the crowds, but feeds the four thousand anyway. Peter confesses He is the Christ, and He prophesies His death and resurrection.
Why it mattersPermalink
The turning point of Mark: Jesus confirms Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Christ, and reveals the true nature of His mission and what it means to follow.
Key versePermalink
“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”
