Mark 8:34 – 9:1

And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel shall save it. 36For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? 37Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul: 38For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. 39And he said to them: Amen f say to you that there are some of them that stand here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God coming in power. 1And after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them.
