23
And he said to
them
all,
If any
man
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross daily, and follow me.
24
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will
lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the
whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of
my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and
in
his
Father’s, and of the holy angels.
27
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which
shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28
And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James,
and went up into a mountain to pray.
29
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was
altered, and his raiment
was
white
and
glistering.
30
And, behold, there talked with him two men,
which were Moses and Elias:
31
Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should
accomplish at Jerusalem.
32
But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when
they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33
And it came to pass,
as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us
make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he
said.
34
While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they
entered into the cloud.
35
And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son:
hear him.
36
And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept
it
close, and told
no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
37
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much
people met him.
38
And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee,
look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39
And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth
out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40
And
I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41
And Jesus answering said,
O faithless
and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42
And
as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare
him.
And Jesus rebuked the unclean
spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one
at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44
Let these sayings sink down into your
ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45
But they understood not this
saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that
saying.
46
Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47
And Jesus,
perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48
And said unto them,
Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me
receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
