A NEW SET OF TEACHINGS
Jesus began to teach His Disciples a new set of doctrines, hitherto unknown to them.
“And He began to teach them that the Son of Man
must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders
and chief priests and scribes, and be killed,
and after three days rise again.”
MARK 8:31
