, he commanded,
that they should tell no man this: (22)saying, The Son of man must
suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests,
and scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day rise again.

(23)And he said unto them, If any man will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. (24)For whosoever
would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his
life for my sake, shall preserve it. (25)For what advantage hath a man
in gaining all the would, if he destroy himself, or be punished with
the loss of life? (26)For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my

cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son; hear him. (36)And when the voice
ceased, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no
man in those days a word of the things which they had seen.

(37)And it came to pass, on the next day, when they came down from the
