Bible. Matthew
016:019 I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of the Heavens;
and whatever you bind on earth shall remain bound in Heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth shall remain loosed in Heaven."
016:020 Then He urged His disciples to tell no one that He was the Christ.
016:021 From this time Jesus began to explain to His disciples that He
must go to Jerusalem, and suffer much cruelty from the Elders
and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death,
and on the third day be raised to life again.
016:022 Then Peter took Him aside and began taking Him to task.
"Master," he said, "God forbid; this will not be your lot."
016:023 But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Adversary;
you are a hindrance to me, because your thoughts are not
God's thoughts, but men's."
016:024 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If any one desires
to follow me, let him renounce self and take up his cross,
and so be my follower.
016:025 For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever
loses his life for my sake shall find it.
016:026 Why, what benefit will it be to a man if he gains the whole
world but forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give to buy
back his life?
016:027 For the Son of Man is soon to come in the glory of the Father
with His angels, and then will He requite every man according
to his actions.
016:028 I solemnly tell you that some of those who are standing here
will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Son
of Man coming in His Kingdom."
017:001 Six day later, Jesus took with Him Peter and the brothers
James and John, and brought them up a high mountain to
a solitary place.
017:002 There in their presence His form underwent a change;
His face shone like the sun, and His raiment became as white
as the light.
017:003 And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them conversing with Him.
017:004 Then Peter said to Jesus, "Master, we are thankful to you that we
are here. If you approve, I will put up three tents here,
one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
017:005 He was still speaking when a luminous cloud spread over them;
and a voice was heard from within the cloud, which said,
"This is My Son dearly beloved, in whom is My delight.
Listen to Him."
017:006 On hearing this voice, the disciples fell on their faces
and were filled with terror.
017:007 But Jesus came and touched them, and said, "Rouse yourselves
and have no fear."
017:008 So they looked up, and saw no one but Jesus.
017:009 As they were descending the mountain, Jesus laid a command upon them.
"Tell no one," He said, "of the sight you have seen till
the Son of Man has risen from among the dead."
017:010 "Why then," asked the disciples, "do the Scribes say that Elijah
must first come?"
