*
And it happened ,
as He was alone praying ,
that His disciples joined Him ,
and He asked them ,
saying , "
Who do the crowds say that I am ?"
*
So they answered and said , "
John the Baptist ,
but some say Elijah ;
and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again ."
*
He said to them , "
But who do you say that I am ?"
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 be killed ,
and be raised 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 daily ,
and follow Me .
*
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it ,
but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it .
*
For what profit is it to a man 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 shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God ."
