had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted
place of a city called Bethsaida.
009:011 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him.
He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God,
and he cured those who needed healing.
009:012 The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said
to him, "Send the multitude away, that they may go into
the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food,
for we are here in a deserted place."
009:013 But he said to them, "You give them something to eat."
They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish,
unless we should go and buy food for all these people."
009:014 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples,
"Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
009:015 They did so, and made them all sit down.
009:016 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up
to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them
to the disciples to set before the multitude.
009:017 They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets
of broken pieces that were left over.
009:018 It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples
were with him, and he asked them, "Who do the multitudes say
that I am?"
009:019 They answered, "'John the Baptizer,' but others say, 'Elijah,'
and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again."
009:020 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
009:021 But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,
009:022 saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected
by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed,
and the third day be raised up."
009:023 He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me,
let him deny himself, take up his cross,{TR, NU add "daily"}
and follow me.
009:024 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever
will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.
009:025 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world,
and loses or forfeits his own self?
009:026 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him
will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory,
and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
009:027 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who
stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they
see the Kingdom of God."
009:028 It happened about eight days after these sayings,
that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up
onto the mountain to pray.
009:029 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered,
and his clothing became white and dazzling.
009:030 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
