u,
Satan, for your mind is not on the things of God but of men."

Then Jesus called the crowd and his disciples to him, and said to them,
"If any one wishes to follow me, let him forget himself, take up his
cross, and come with me. For any one who is thinking only of saving his
life, will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the
sake of the good news, will save it. What does it profit a man to gain
the whole world and lose his soul? For what could a man give in exchange
for his soul? Whoever is ashamed of me and my teachings in this sinful
world, of him I will be ashamed when I come in the glory of my Father
with the holy angels."

JESUS IS GLORIFIED

Six days later Jesus took Peter, James and John up a high mountain where
they were alone, and in their presence he was transfigured. His clothes
glistened with a dazzling whiteness such as no bleaching could give on
earth. And there appeared to them Elijah and Moses, who talked with
Jesus. Then Peter said, "Master, it is fortunate that we are here. Let
us make three tabernacles, one for you, one for Moses, and one for
Elijah." (For in his terror he did not know what to say.) Then a cloud
came and overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my
Beloved Son; give heed to him." And suddenly, looking around, they saw
no one with them but Jesus.

As they came down from the mountain, he commanded them to tell no one
what they had seen until after he had risen from the dead. And they
obeyed the command but discussed among themselves what "rising from the
dead" meant. Therefore they asked him, "How is it that the scribes say,
'Elijah must first come'?" He answered, "Elijah is to come first to
restore everything. And what is written about the Son of Man? Is it not
that he is to endure great suffering and be despised? But I tell you,
Elijah has come, and they have done to him what they pleased, even as it
is written of him."

JESUS TELLS HOW ONE MAY BECOME GREAT

Leaving Caesarea Philippi, Jesus and his disciples passed through
Galilee; but he wished no one to know of this, for he was teaching his
disciples. He said to them, "The Son of Man will be betrayed and men
will put him to death, but in three days he will rise from the dead."
But they did not understand his meaning and were afraid to ask.

When they had reached Capernaum and were in the house, he asked them,
"What were you arguing about on the way?" But they made no reply, for
