New Testament in a Year
18 ¶ (A)[a]And it came to pass, as he was [b]alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answered, and said, John Baptist: and others say, Elijah: and some say, that one of the old Prophets is risen again.
20 And he said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered, and said: That Christ of God.
21 And he warned and commanded them, that they should tell that to no man,
22 [c]Saying, (B)The Son of man must suffer many things, and be reproved of the Elders, and of the high Priests and Scribes, and be slain, and the third day rise again.
23 ¶ (C)And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross [d]daily, and follow me.
24 (D)For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 (E)For what advantageth it a man, if he win the whole world, and destroy himself, or lose himself?
26 (F)For 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 glory, and in the glory of the Father, and of the holy Angels.
27 (G)And I tell you of a surety, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.
28 (H)[e]And it came to pass about an eight days after those words, that he took Peter and John, and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was changed, and his garment was white and glistered.
30 And behold, two men talked with him, which were Moses and Elijah:
31 Which appeared in glory, and told of his [f]departing, which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him, were heavy with sleep, and when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: let us therefore make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah, and wist not what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared when they were entering into the cloud.
35 (I)And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is that my beloved Son, hear him.
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone: and they kept it close, and told no man in [g]those days any of those things which they had seen.
