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.

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.
