TSK · Mark 8:35

"All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, know, that whoever, whether man or woman, comes to the king into the inner court without being called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king might hold out the golden scepter, that he may live.

Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.

Therefore don't be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.

Beloved, don't be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.

I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.
