Old/New Testament

Who Do You Say That I Am? Peter Says, You Are The Christ of God

¹⁸ And it came about during His being alone praying that the disciples were with Him. And He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” ¹⁹ And the ones, having responded, said, “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that some prophet of the ancients rose-up”. ²⁰ And He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter, having responded, said, “The Christ of God”. ²¹ But the One, having warned them, ordered them to be telling this to no one— ²² having said that “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day”.

Deny Yourself, Take Up Your Cross, Follow Me. Some Here Will See My Kingdom

²³ And He was saying to everyone, “If anyone wants to be coming after Me, let him deny^[a] himself, and let him take up his cross^[b] daily, and let him be following Me. ²⁴ For whoever wants to save^[c] his life will lose it. But whoever loses his life for My sake— this one will save it. ²⁵ For what is a person profited— having gained the whole world, but having lost or having forfeited himself ? ²⁶ For whoever is ashamed-of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed-of this one when He comes in the glory of Himself and the Father and the holy angels. ²⁷ And I say to you truly, there are some^[d] of the ones standing here who will by-no-means taste death until they see the kingdom of God”.

Three Disciples See Jesus Transformed, And Hear God Tell Them To Listen To Jesus

²⁸ And it came about, about eight days after these words, that having taken-along Peter and John and James, He went up on the mountain to pray. ²⁹ And during His praying the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing became white, while gleaming-out. ³⁰ And behold, two men were talking-with Him, who were Moses and Elijah— ³¹ who, having appeared in glory, were speaking of His departure which He was about to bring-to-fulfillment^[e] in Jerusalem. ³² Now Peter and the ones with him had been weighed-down with sleep. But having fully-awakened, they saw His glory and the two men standing-with Him. ³³ And it came about during their parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. And let us make three dwellings^[f]; one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— not knowing what he was saying. ³⁴ And while he was saying these things, there came-to-be a cloud. And it was overshadowing^[g] them. And they became afraid at their entering into the cloud. ³⁵ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My chosen Son. Be listening-to Him”. ³⁶ And at the voice coming, Jesus was found alone. And they kept-silent, and reported to no one during those days anything of the things which they had seen.
