{24} Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
me. {25} For whoever will save his life shall lose it: and whoever
will lose his life for my sake shall find it. {26} For what is a
man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? {27} For
the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his
angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
{28} Truly I say unto you, There are some standing here, which
shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in
his kingdom. Matthew 16:24-28
---------------------------------------------------------- {1} And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and
John his brother, and brought them up unto a high
mountain apart, {2} And was transfigured before them: and
his face did shine as the sun, and his clothing was white
as the light. {3} And, behold, there appeared to them
Moses and Elijah talking with him. {4} Then answered
Peter, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be
here: if you will, let us make here three tabernacles;
one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. {5}
While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed
them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; listen
to him. {6} And when the disciples heard it, they fell on
their face, and were very afraid. {7} And Jesus came and
touched them, and said, Arise, and don't be afraid. {8}
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man,
save Jesus only. {9} And as they came down from the
mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to
no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the
dead. {10} And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then
say the scribes that Elijah must come first ? {11} And
Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall
come first, and restore all things.
{34} And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples
also, he said to them, Whoever will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. {35} For whoever
will save his life shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life
for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. {36} For
what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and
lose his own soul? {37} Or what shall a man give in exchange for
his soul? {38} Whoever therefore is ashamed of me and of my words
in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the
Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father
with the holy angels. {9:1} And he said to them, Truly I say to
you, That some of them that stand here, shall not taste of death,
till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. Mark
8:34-38, 9:1
----------------------------------------------------------------
{23} And 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. {24}
For whoever will save his life shall lose it: but whoever will
lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. {25} For what
is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself,
or be cast away? {26} For 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 his Father's, and of the holy angels.
{27} But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which
shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. Luke
9:23-27
12} But I say to you, That Elijah is come already, and they
knew him not, but have done to him whatever they pleased. Likewise
shall also the Son of man suffer of them. {13} Then the disciples
understood that he spoke unto them of John the Baptist. Matthew
17:1-13,
