enjoined them, that they should
tell no man of this.

(31)And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many
things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes,
and be slain, and after three days rise again. (32)And he spake this
saying openly. And Peter taking him aside, began to remonstrate with
him. (33)But he turned himself around, and seeing his disciples, he
rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not
relish the things which are of God, but those that are of men.

(34)Then calling to him the multitude, with his disciples, he said to
them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up
his cross, and follow me. (35)For whosoever would preserve his life
shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake and the

(38)For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, before this

ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father, with the holy

can whiten. (4)And there appeared to him Elias with Moses: and they
were conversing with Jesus. (5)Then Peter addressing him, said unto
him, Master, it is desirable for us to be here: and let us erect three
tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. (6)For he
knew not what he should say: for they were very much affrighted. (7)And
there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of
the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. (8)And instantly
looking round, they saw no man any longer with them, but Jesus only.
(9)And as they were coming down from the mountain, he strictly charged
them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, till after the
Son of man should have arisen from the dead. (10)And they caught
