Luke 9:16-37

¹⁶And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake; and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

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

¹⁹And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

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

²¹But he charged them, and commanded them to tell 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 unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁴For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

²⁵For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?

²⁶For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

²⁸And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

²⁹And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and dazzling.

³⁰And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;

³¹who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³²Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

³³And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto 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 Elijah: not knowing what he said.

³⁴And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him.

³⁶And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁷And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
