In the context of the Roman Empire, where Christians faced persecution, being ashamed of Jesus could mean denying Him to avoid suffering. This echoes Jesus' earlier teachings in <a href="/matthew/10-32.htm">Matthew 10:32-33</a> about confessing Him before others. The "words" of Jesus refer to His teachings, which were countercultural and often challenged the religious and social norms of the time.in this adulterous and sinful generation The term "adulterous" is often used in the Old Testament to describe Israel's unfaithfulness to God (e.g., <a href="/hosea/3.htm">Hosea 3:1</a>). Here, it signifies spiritual unfaithfulness and moral corruption. The "sinful generation" refers to the people of Jesus' time who rejected His message and were entrenched in sin. This reflects the broader biblical theme of humanity's rebellion against God, as seen in passages like <a href="/genesis/6-5.htm">Genesis 6:5</a> and <a href="/romans/3-23.htm">Romans 3:23</a>.the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him "Son of Man" is a title Jesus frequently used for Himself, drawing from <a href="/daniel/7-13.htm">Daniel 7:13-14</a>, where it describes a divine figure with authority and glory. The phrase indicates a future judgment where Jesus will deny those who denied Him. This is consistent with the eschatological themes in the Gospels, where Jesus speaks of separating the faithful from the unfaithful (e.g., <a href="/matthew/25-31.htm">Matthew 25:31-46</a>).when He comes in His Father’s glory This refers to the Second Coming of Christ, a central tenet of Christian eschatology. "His Father's glory" signifies divine majesty and authority, as seen in Old Testament theophanies (e.g., <a href="/exodus/24-16.htm">Exodus 24:16-17</a>). The return of Christ is depicted as a time of ultimate vindication and fulfillment of God's promises, as prophesied in passages like <a href="/zechariah/14-5.htm">Zechariah 14:5</a> and <a href="/revelation/1-7.htm">Revelation 1:7</a>.with the holy angels The presence of "holy angels" underscores the divine nature of Christ's return and His authority over the heavenly hosts. Angels are often depicted as God's messengers and agents of His will, as seen in <a href="/luke/2-13.htm">Luke 2:13-14</a> and <a href="/revelation/5-11.htm">Revelation 5:11-12</a>.

It is obvious that general as the words are, they had a special bearing on those who, like Peter, and probably the other disciples, had shown that they were "ashamed" of the words which had just been spoken.This adulterous and sinful generation.--The words are not found in St. Luke's report, but they agree with language which our Lord had used before (<a href="/matthew/12-39.htm" title="But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:">Matthew 12:39</a>; <a href="/matthew/16-4.htm" title="A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.">Matthew 16:4</a>). Their force here lies in the contrast drawn between those from whose frown or scorn the disciples were now shrinking, and the bright hosts in whose presence the faithless should be put to shame when the Son of Man should come in His glory. They were to look on this picture and on that, and ask themselves which ordeal was the most terrible.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/mark/8.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 38. - Our Lord here looks onward to the day of judgment. Whosoever shall be ashamed of me. "Whosoever:" the word includes all, whatever their position or circumstances may be. "Shall be ashamed of me;" that is, shall deny my faith, or blush to confess me here. Of him shall the Son of man be ashamed; that is, Christ will despise him, when he shall appear with power and great glory, in that sublime majesty which he gained by his death upon the cross. In this adulterous and sinful generation. It adds to the disgrace of being ashamed of Christ that the shame is manifested in the presence of the base and the worthless; and therefore our Lord exhibits the contrast between the mean and contemptible people in the presence of whom men are ashamed of him here, and the magnificent assemblage in whose presence he will be ashamed of them hereafter. The cross of Christ appeared to the great body of mankind to be shameful and contemptible. To the Jews it was a stumbling-block, and to the Greek's foolishness. Hence vast numbers, whether through shame or fear, did not dare to confess it, and still less to preach it. And therefore it is that St. Paul says (<a href="/romans/1.htm">Romans 1</a>:l6), "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ." <a href="/commentaries/mark/8-38.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>For γὰρ (gar) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1063.htm">Strong's 1063: </a> For.
