In this section of Mark’s Gospel, we see Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem and to the cross. Mark records three times how Jesus predicted his own death, once in chapter 8, once in chapter 9 and a third time in our text in chapter 10. Each time, the disciples fail to understand. Each time, Jesus responds to their wrong ideas by teaching about discipleship. I’ll start reading at 10:32, but I’ll be dealing mainly with verse v. 42 – 45.
