And it came to pass , as he wasalonepraying , hisdisciples were withhim:and he askedthem,saying , Whomsay the people that Iam ?
19
Theyansweringsaid , John the Baptist;butsome say, Elias;andothers say, thatone of the oldprophets is risen again .
20
Hesaid unto them,Butwhomsayye that Iam* ?Peteransweringsaid , The Christ of God.
21
And he straitly chargedthem, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22
Saying* , The Son of manmustsuffer many things,and be rejectedof the eldersand chief priestsandscribes,and be slain , and be raised the thirdday.
23
And he saidto them all,If any manwillcomeafterme, let him denyhimself,and take uphiscrossdaily*, andfollowme.
24
Forwhosoever*willsavehislife shall loseit:butwhosoeverwilllosehislife for mysake, the same shall saveit.
25
Forwhatis a manadvantaged , if he gain the wholeworld,andlosehimself,or be cast away ?
26
Forwhosoevershall be ashamed of meand of mywords, of himshall the Son of man be ashamed , when he shall comein his ownglory,and in his Father's,and of the holyangels.
27
But I tellyou of a truth, there besomestandinghere,whichshallnottaste of death,tilltheysee the kingdom of God.
28
And it came to passabout an eightdaysafterthesesayings*, he tookPeterandJohnandJames, and went upinto a mountain to pray .
29
Andasheprayed , the fashion of hiscountenancewasaltered,andhisraiment was white and glistering .
30
And,behold , there talked with himtwomen,whichwereMosesandElias:
31
Whoappearedinglory, and spake of hisdeceasewhich he shouldaccomplishatJerusalem.
32
ButPeterand they that were withhimwereheavy with sleep:and when they were awake , they sawhisglory,and the twomen that stood withhim.
33
And it came to pass , astheydepartedfromhim,PetersaiduntoJesus,Master, it isgood for us to behere:and let us makethreetabernacles; one forthee,and one forMoses,and one forElias:notknowingwhat he said .
34
Whilehethusspake , there came a cloud,andovershadowedthem:and they fearedastheyenteredinto the cloud.
35
And there came a voice out of the cloud,saying , ThisismybelovedSon:hearhim.
36
And when the voice was past* , Jesus was foundalone.Andthey kept it close , andtold no maninthosedaysany of those things which they had seen .
37
And it came to pass , that on the nextday, when they were come downfrom the hill,muchpeoplemethim.
38
And,behold , a manof the company cried out , saying , Master, I beseechthee,lookuponmyson:for he ismine only child.
39
And,lo , a spirittakethhim,and he suddenly crieth out ; and it tearethhim that he foamethagain,andbruisinghimhardlydepartethfromhim.
40
And I besoughtthydisciplestocasthimout ; and they couldnot.
41
AndJesusansweringsaid , Ofaithlessandperversegeneration,howlong shall I bewithyou,andsufferyou?Bringthysonhither.
42
And as hewasyet a coming , the devilthrewhimdown , andtare him. AndJesusrebuked the uncleanspirit,andhealed the child,anddeliveredhimagain to hisfather.
43
And they wereallamazedat the mighty power of God.But while they wondered every oneat all thingswhichJesusdid , he saiduntohisdisciples,
44
Let thesesayings sink downintoyour*ears:for the Son of man shall bedeliveredinto the hands of men.
45
But they understood notthissaying,and it washidfromthem,that they perceiveditnot:and they feared to askhimofthatsaying.
46
Then there arose a reasoningamongthem,whichofthem should begreatest.
47
AndJesus,perceiving the thought of theirheart,took a child, and sethimbyhim,
48
Andsaid unto them,Whosoevershallreceivethischildinmynamereceivethme:andwhosoevershallreceiveme receiveth him that sentme:for he that isleastamongyouall, the same shall begreat.
49
AndJohnanswered and said , Master, we sawone casting outdevilsinthyname;and we forbadhim,because he followethnotwithus.
50
AndJesussaiduntohim,Forbid him not:forhe that isnotagainstusisforus.
