* And it came to pass , while He was alone praying , that His disciples joined Him , and He questioned them , saying , "Who do the crowds pronounce Me to be ?" * So they answered and said , "John the Baptist , but some say Elijah ; and others say that one of the ancient prophets has arisen ." * He said to them , "But who do you pronounce Me to be ?"Peter answered and said , "The Christ of God ." * And He strictly warned and commanded [them ] to tell this to no one , * saying , "The Son of Man must suffer many things , and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes , and to be killed , and to be raised on the third day ." * Then He said to them all , "If anyone desires to come after Me , let him deny himself , and take up his cross , and follow Me . * For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it , but whoever loses his life for My sake shall save it . * For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world , and is himself destroyed or lost ? * For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words , of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory , and in His Father 's , and of the holy angels . * But I tell you truly , there are some standing here who will by no means taste death until they see the kingdom of God ."
