25 For what profit will a man have if he gets all the world, but undergoes loss or destruction himself?

31 Who were seen in glory and were talking of his death which was about to take place in Jerusalem.

33 And when they were about to go away from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah: having no knowledge of what he was saying.
