(34)And calling to him the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them: Whoever desires to follow after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (35)For whoever will save his life shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life, for the sake of me and of the glad tidings, shall save it. (36)For what will it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? (37)Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his soul? (38)For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will also the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. IX. AND he said to them: Verily I say to you, that there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God already come with power. (2)And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up into a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them. (3)And his garments became shining, exceeding white as snow, such as no fuller on earth can whiten. (4)And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. (5)And Peter answering said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. (6)For he knew not what to say; for they were sore afraid. (7)And there came a cloud overshadowing them; and a voice came out of the cloud: This is my beloved Son; hear ye him. (8)And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw any one, but Jesus only with themselves. (9)And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should relate what they had seen to no one, except when the Son of man shall have risen from the dead. (10)And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves, what is the rising from the dead. (11)And they asked him, saying: Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come? (12)And he said to them: Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. And how is it written of the Son of man? That he must suffer many things, and be set at naught. (13)But I say to you, that Elijah also has come, and they did to him whatever they would, as it is written of him.
