Luke 9:18-29

18Once when Yeshua was praying alone and His disciples were near, He put a question to them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”

19They replied, “John the Immerser, but others Elijah, and others that some prophet from among the ancients has arisen.”

20Then He said to them, “But who do you that say I am?” Then Peter answered and said, “The Messiah of God.”

21But Yeshua warned them, and He ordered them not to tell this to anyone,

22saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and ruling kohanim and Torah scholars, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”

23Then Yeshua was saying to everyone, “If anyone wants to follow Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross every day, and follow Me.

24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

25“For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?

26For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels.

27But I tell you truthfully, there are some standing here who will never taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”

28About eight days after these teachings, Yeshua took Peter, John, and Jacob with Him and went up the mountain to pray.

29While He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothing flashed like white lightning.
