Luke 9:16-37

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

¹⁷And they ate, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.

¹⁸And it came to pass, as he was in retirement 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 ancient prophets is risen again.

²⁰He said to them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answering, said, 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 put to death, 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 will 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 in truth, 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.

²⁹And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistening.

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

³¹Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

³²But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that 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 Elijah: not knowing what he said.

³⁴While he was thus speaking, there came a cloud and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

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

³⁶And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

³⁷And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they had come down from the hill, many people met him.
