*
Now it happened that as he was praying alone his disciples were with him ;
and he asked them , »
Who do the crowds say that I am ?«
*
So they answered , »
John the Baptist ;
but others say Elijah ;
and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again .«
*
And he said to them , »
But who do you say that I am ?«
And Peter answered , »
The Christ of God .«
*
But 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 on the third day be raised .«
*
Then he said to them all , »
If anyone would 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 loses or forfeits himself ?
*
For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words ,
of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels .
*
But I tell you truly ,
there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God .«
