Peter Identifies Christ
18 It fortuned as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him, and he asked them saying: Who say the people that I am? 19 They answered and said: John the Baptist. Some say Elias. And some say, one of the old prophets is risen again. 20 He said unto them: Who say ye that I am? Peter answered and said: thou art the Christ of God. 21 He warned and commanded them, that they should tell no man that thing, 22 saying: That the son of man must suffer many things, and be reproved of the seniors, and of the high priests and scribes, and be slain, and the third day rise again.
23 And he said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take his cross on him daily, and follow me. 24 Whosoever will save his life, shall lose it. And whosoever shall lose his life, for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what shall it advantage a man, to win the whole world, if he lose himself: or run in damage of himself? 26 For whosoever is ashamed of me, and of my sayings: of him shall the son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own majesty, and in the majesty of his father, and of the holy angels. 27 I tell you of a surety: Some there are of them that here stand, which shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God. — Luke 9:18-27 | Tyndale New Testament (TYN) Holy Bible, Tyndale New Testament (written in olde English), copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.
