Luke:9:22-44
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Saying ,
The Son of man must suffer many things ,
and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes ,
and be slain ,
and be raised the third day .
*
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 .
*
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it :
but whosoever will lose his life for my sake ,
the same shall save it .
*
For what is a man advantaged ,
if he gain the whole world ,
and lose himself ,
or be cast away ?
*
For whosoever 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 .
*
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 .
*
And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings ,
he took Peter and John and James ,
and went up into a mountain to pray .
*
And as he prayed ,
the fashion of his countenance was altered ,
and his raiment was white and glistering .
*
And ,
behold ,
there talked with him two men ,
which were Moses and Elias :
*
Who appeared in glory ,
and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem .
*
But 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 .
*
And it came to pass ,
as they departed from him ,
Peter said unto 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 Elias :
not knowing what he said .
*
While he thus spake ,
there came a cloud ,
and overshadowed them :
and they feared as they entered into the cloud .
*
And there came a voice out of the cloud ,
saying ,
This is my beloved Son :
hear him .
*
And 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 .
*
And it came to pass ,
that on the next day ,
when they were come down from the hill ,
much people met him .
*
And ,
behold ,
a man of the company cried out ,
saying ,
Master ,
I beseech thee ,
look upon my son :
for he is mine only child .
*
And ,
lo ,
a spirit taketh him ,
and he suddenly crieth out ;
and it teareth him that he foameth again ,
and bruising him hardly departeth from him .
*
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out ;
and they could not .
*
And Jesus answering said ,
O faithless and perverse generation ,
how long shall I be with you ,
and suffer you ?
Bring thy son hither .
*
And as he was yet a coming ,
the devil threw him down ,
and tare him .
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit ,
and healed the child ,
and delivered him again to his father .
*
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God .
But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did ,
he said unto his disciples ,
*
Let these sayings sink down into your ears :
for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men .
