Luke 9:23-33

23 And He was saying to them all, "¹If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily * and follow Me.

24 "For ²whoever * wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever * loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.

25 "For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and ³loses or forfeits himself?

26 "⁴For whoever * is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

27 "But I say to you truthfully, ⁵there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God."

The Transfiguration

28 ⁶Some eight days after these sayings, He took along ⁷Peter and John and James, and ⁸went up on the mountain ⁹to pray.

29 And while He was ¹⁰praying, the appearance of His face ¹¹became different, and His clothing became white and gleaming.

30 And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah,

31 who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His ¹²departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

32 Now Peter and his companions * ¹³had been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.

33 And as these were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, "¹⁴Master, it is good for us to be here; ¹⁵let us make three tabernacles: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah "-¹⁶not realizing what he was saying.
