22. saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
23. He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
24. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.
25. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

27. But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”

32. Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
33. As they were parting from him, Peter said to Yeshua, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
34. While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
