Luke Chapter 9 Verse 19They answering said, John the Baptist; but some [say], Elias; and others [say], that one of the old prophets is risen again.

And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

And the people, when they knew [it], followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

But he said unto them, ‹Give ye them to eat.› And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, ‹Make them sit down by fifties in a company.›

And they did so, and made them all sit down.

Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, ‹Whom say the people that I am?›

He said unto them, ‹But whom say ye that I am?› Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man that thing;

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.
