hat time Jesus began to shew his disciples, that he must go
to Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the
chief-priests, and of the scribes, and be put to death, and the third
day rise again. (22)And Peter taking him aside, began to chide him,
saying, Mercy on thee, Lord! this shall never be thy case. (23)Then
turning from him, he said unto Peter, Get thee behind me Satan! thou
art an offence to me: for thou dost not relish the things of God, but
those of men.

(24)Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (25)For
whosoever is desirous to preserve his life, shall lose it; but
whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall find it. (26)For what
would a man be advantaged, though he could gain the whole world, if he
should suffer the loss of his soul? or what will a man give as the
ransom for his soul? (27)For the Son of man shall hereafter come in the
glory of his Father, with his angels, and then shall he recompense
every man according to his practice. (28)Verily I say unto you, There
are some of those standing here, who shall in no wise taste of death,
until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

to them, Moses and Elias talking with him. (4)Then Peter addressing
him, said to Jesus, Lord, It is well that we are here; if it please
thee, we will make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses,
and one for Elias. (5)And while he was yet speaking, behold, a luminous
cloud overshadowed them; and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, This
is my beloved Son, in whom is my delight; hear him! (6)And the
disciples hearing it, fell on their face, and were exceedingly
affrighted. (7)And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, be not
affrighted. (8)Then lifting up their eyes, they saw no person, but
Jesus only. (9)And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus
commanded them, saying, Tell no man the vision, until the Son of man is
risen from the dead. (10)And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then
do the scribes affirm, that Elias must come first? (11)Then Jesus
answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, a
