22And Peter taking him aside began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord; this shall not be to thee. 23But he turned and said to Peter: Get thee behind me, Satan[23]; thou art an offense to me; for thou thinkest not the things of God, but those of men.
24Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any one will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25For whoever will save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake, shall find it. 26For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? Or what shall a man give as an exchange[26] for his soul? 27For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he will reward each one according to his works.
28Verily I say to you, there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
XVII. And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart. 2And he was transfigured before them; and his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light. 3And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4And Peter answering said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 5While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6And the disciples, hearing it, fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid. 7And Jesus coming to them touched them, and said: Arise, and be not afraid. 8And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one save Jesus only.
9And as they came down out of the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell no one the vision, until the Son of man is risen from the dead.
10And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come? 11And he answering said: Elijah indeed comes, and will restore all things. 12But I say to you, that Elijah is already come, and they knew him not, but did with him whatever they would. So also is the Son of man about to suffer by them.
13Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Immerser.
14And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him, and saying: 15Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is lunatic, and is sorely afflicted; for ofttimes he falls into the fire, and oft into the water. 16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17And Jesus answering said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me. 18And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out from him, and the child was cured from that hour.
19Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said: Why could not we cast him out? 20And he said to them: Because of your want of faith. For verily I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you. 21But this kind goes not forth, except by prayer and fasting.
22And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men 23and they will put him to death, and he will rise on the third day. And they were exceedingly sorrowful.
