“See, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death.

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10: 45 (CSB)

 

2.   The Disciples ____________________. (35-45)

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time,” I Peter 5: 6 (CSB)
