Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Mark 8:22-26,34-38

22When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
23So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.
24The man looked up and said, “I can see the people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly.
26Jesus sent him home and said, “Do not go back into the village.”
...
34Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
35For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.
36What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
37Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
38If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
— Mark 8:22-26,34-38
