Luke 9:18-45

18And it came to pass as he was praying alone, his disciples were with him, and he asked them saying, Who do the crowds say that I am?

19But they answering said, John the baptist; but others, Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.

20And he said to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of 1God.

21But, earnestly charging them, he enjoined [them] to say this to no man,

22saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

23And he said to [them] all, If any one will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me;

24for whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, he shall save it.

25For what shall a man profit if he shall have gained the whole world, and have destroyed, or come under the penalty of the loss of himself?

26For whosoever shall have been ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his glory, and [in that] of the Father, and of the holy angels.

27But I say unto you of a truth, There are some of those standing here who shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of 2God.

28And it came to pass after these words, about eight days, that taking Peter and John and James he went up into a mountain to pray.

29And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white [and] effulgent.

30And lo, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elias,

31who, appearing in glory, spoke of his departure which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.

32But Peter and those with him were oppressed with sleep: but having fully awoke up they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

33And it came to pass as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

34But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:

35and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

36And as the voice was [heard] Jesus was found alone: and they kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

37And it came to pass on the following day, when they came down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.

38And lo, a man from the crowd cried out saying, Teacher, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is mine only child:

39and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it tears him with foaming, and with difficulty departs from him after crushing him.

40And I besought thy disciples that they might cast him out, and they could not.

41And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.

42But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father.

43And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of 3God. And as all wondered at all the things which [Jesus] did, he said to his disciples,

44Do ye let these words sink into your ears. For the Son of man is about to be delivered into men's hands.

45But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them that they should not perceive it. And they feared to ask him concerning this saying.
