Gospel Mark 8:27-33
27 Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"
28 They told him, "John the Baptiser, and others say Elijah, but others: one of the prophets."
29 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Peter answered, "You are the Christ."
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men."

James 2:1-9
1 My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
2 For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue,* and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in;
3 and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place"; and you tell the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool";
4 haven't you shown partiality amongst yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn't God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
6 But you have dishonoured the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
7 Don't they blaspheme the honourable name by which you are called?
8 However, if you fulfil the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbour as yourself,"☆ you do well.
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
*2:2: or, meeting
☆2:8: Leviticus 19:18
