008:033 But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter,
and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not
the things of God, but the things of men."
008:034 He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said
to them, "Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow me.
008:035 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever
will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News
will save it.
008:036 For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world,
and forfeit his life?
008:037 For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
008:038 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this
adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will
be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father
with the holy angels."
009:001 He said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, there are some
standing here who will in no way taste death until they see
the Kingdom of God come with power."
009:002 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John,
and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves,
and he was changed into another form in front of them.
009:003 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow,
such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
009:004 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
009:005 Peter answered Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here.
Let's make three tents: one for you, one for Moses,
and one for Elijah."
009:006 For he didn't know what to say, for they were very afraid.
009:007 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud,
"This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
009:008 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more,
except Jesus only.
009:009 As they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them
that they should tell no one what things they had seen,
until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
009:010 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising
from the dead" meant.
009:011 They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah
must come first?"
009:012 He said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things.
How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer
many things and be despised?
009:013 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done
to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him."
009:014 Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them,
and scribes questioning them.
009:015 Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed,
and running to him greeted him.
009:016 He asked the scribes, "What are you asking them?"
