22. saying, “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.”
23. Then Yeshua was saying to everyone, “If anyone wants to follow Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross every day, and follow Me.
24. For 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?
26. For 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.
27. But I tell you truthfully, there are some standing here who will never taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
28. About eight days after these teachings, Yeshua took Peter, John, and Jacob with Him and went up the mountain to pray.
29. While He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothing flashed like white lightning.
30. And behold, two men were talking with Him, Moses and Elijah.
31. Appearing in glory, they were speaking of Yeshua’s departure, which was about to take place in Jerusalem.
32. Now Peter and those with him were overcome with sleep. But when they awakened, they saw Yeshua’s glory and the two men standing with Him.
33. And as they were leaving Yeshua, Peter said to Him, “Master, it’s good for us to be here. Let’s make three sukkot: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he was saying.
34. While he was yet saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35. Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the One I have chosen. Listen to Him!”
36. And after the voice happened, Yeshua was found alone. They kept quiet and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.
37. On the next day as they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Yeshua.
38. Suddenly a man from the crowd shouted out loudly, saying, “Teacher, I’m begging You to look at my son, for he’s my only child!
39. You see, a spirit takes hold of him, and he immediately screams. It throws him into convulsions with frothing. It hardly ever leaves him—it’s crushing him!
40. I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn’t.”
41. Then answering, Yeshua said, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
