Luke 9:18-27 (King James Version)

 ¹⁸And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

 ¹⁹They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

 ²⁰He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

 ²¹And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

 ²²Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

 ²³And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

 ²⁴For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

 ²⁵For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

 ²⁶For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

 ²⁷But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
