24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.

25 For what profit does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and to destroy himself, or to injure himself?

26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man shall be ashamed of him, when he shall come in his glory, and of the Father, and of the holy angels.

27 And verily I say unto you, there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.

28 And after these words, after eight days, he took Peter, John, and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

29 And as he prayed, the countenance of his countenance was changed, and his garment became white and shining.

30 And behold, two men were conversing with him, who were Moses and Elijah;

31 and when they appeared in glory, they spoke of his exodus, which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem.

32 And Peter and those who were with him were burdened with sleep; but when they woke up, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.

33 And as they were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master! it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, one for Moses, and one for Elijah, not knowing what I spoke.

34 And as he was saying these things, a cloud appeared and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they entered into the cloud.

35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, hear him.

36 And when this voice came, Jesus was left alone. And they kept silent, and told no man in those days what they saw.

37 And the very next day, when they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
