Luke 9:18-29

18

One day asG1722 Jesus wasG1510 prayingG4336 inG2596 privateG3441 and theG3588 disciplesG3101 were withG4895 HimG846, He questionedG1905 themG846: “WhoG5101 do theG3588 crowdsG3793 sayG3004 IG1473 amG1510?”

19

They repliedG611G2036, “Some say JohnG2491 theG3588 BaptistG910; othersG243 say ElijahG2243; and stillG1161 othersG243, thatG3754 a prophetG4396 ofG3588 oldG744 has arisenG450.”

20“ButG1161 what about youG4771?” Jesus askedG2036. “WhoG5101 do you sayG3004 IG1473 amG1510?”

PeterG4074 answeredG611G2036, “TheG3588 ChristG5547 of GodG2316.”

21

Jesus strictly warnedG2008G3853 themG846 not to tellG3004 thisG3778 toG3367 anyone. 22“TheG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 mustG1163 sufferG3958 many thingsG4183,” He saidG2036. “He must be rejectedG593 byG575 theG3588 eldersG4245, chief priestsG749, andG2532 scribesG1122, andG2532 He must be killedG615 andG2532 on theG3588 thirdG5154 dayG2250 be raised to lifeG1453.”

23ThenG1161 Jesus saidG2036 toG4314 all of themG3956, “IfG1487 anyoneG5100 wantsG2309 to comeG2064 afterG3694 MeG1473, he must denyG720 himselfG1438 andG2532 take upG142 hisG846 crossG4716 dailyG2596G2250 andG2532 followG190 MeG1473. 24ForG1063 whoeverG3739G302 wantsG2309 to saveG4982 hisG846 lifeG5590 will loseG622 itG846, butG1161 whoeverG3739G302 losesG622 hisG846 lifeG5590 for My sakeG1752G1473 will saveG4982 itG846.

25

WhatG5101 does it profitG5623 a manG444 to gainG2770 theG3588 wholeG3650 worldG2889, yetG1161 loseG622 orG2228 forfeitG2210 his very selfG1438? 26If anyoneG3739G302 is ashamed ofG1870 MeG1473 andG2532 MyG1699 wordsG3056, theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 will be ashamed ofG1870 himG3778 whenG3752 He comesG2064 inG1722 HisG846 gloryG1391 andG2532 in the glory of theG3588 FatherG3962 andG2532 of theG3588 holyG40 angelsG32. 27ButG1161 I tellG3004 youG4771 trulyG230, someG5100 whoG3588 areG1510 standingG2476 hereG847 will not tasteG3756G3361G1089 deathG2288 beforeG2193G302 they seeG3708 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316.”

28

AboutG5616 eightG3638 daysG2250 afterG3326 Jesus had saidG3056 these thingsG3778, He took withG3880 Him PeterG4074, JohnG2491, andG2532 JamesG2385, and went upG305 onG1519 a mountainG3735 to prayG4336. 29AndG2532 asG1096G1722 HeG846 was prayingG4336, theG3588 appearanceG1491 ofG3588 HisG846 faceG4383 changedG2087, andG2532 HisG846 clothesG2441 became radiantlyG1823 whiteG3022.
