| 0:00.0 | Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical. net. |
| 0:04.0 | Mark chapter 8 verses, and he began to teach them that the son of man must suffer many things |
| 0:12.4 | and be rejected by the elders and the chief |
| 0:15.1 | priests and the scribes and be killed and after three days rise again and he said |
