Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, 25 and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall1 Or, soul 26 lose his life for my sake shall find it.

And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking 4 with him. And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, I will make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one 'Or, booths 5 for Moses, and one for Elijah. While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed thein: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye 6 him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on 7 their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only. 3 9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead. 10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the 11 scribes that Elijah must first come? And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore 12 all things: but I say unto you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they listed. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them. Then understood the disciples 13 that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. And when they were come to the multitude, there 14 came to him a man, kneeling to him, and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and 15 suffereth grievously: for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft-times into the water. And I brought him 16 to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying,18 stone turned Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 1Gr. greater 2 And he called to him a little child, and set him in 3 the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall 4in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
