Luke 9:18-29

18And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who say the people that I am? 19They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. 20He said to them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. 21And he strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; 22Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. 23And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24For whoever will save his life shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in that of his Father, and of the holy angels. 27But I tell you truly, there are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.

28And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up upon a mountain to pray.1 29And as he prayed, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and shining.
