to them: How is it that ye do not
understand?

(22)And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and
beseech him to touch him. (23)And taking the blind man by the hand, he
led him forth out of the village; and spitting in his eyes, and
putting his hands on him, he asked him if he beheld anything. (24)And
looking up he said: I behold men; for I see them as trees walking.
(25)Then again he put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly; and
he was restored, and saw all things distinctly. (26)And he sent him
away to his house, saying: Go not even into the village, nor tell it
to any in the village.

(27)And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the villages of
Caesarea Philippi: And in the way he asked his disciples, saying to
them: Who do men say that I am? (28)And they answered him saying: John
the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.
(29)And he asked them: But who do ye say that I am? And Peter
answering says to him: Thou art the Christ. (30)And he charged them
that they should tell no one concerning him.

(31)And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many

spoke that saying openly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke
him. (33)But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked
Peter, saying: Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou thinkest not the
things of God, but those of men.

(34)And calling to him the multitude, with his disciples, he said to
them: Whoever desires to follow after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross, and follow me. (35)For whoever will save his life
shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life, for the sake of me and
of the glad tidings, shall save it. (36)For what will it profit a man,
to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? (37)Or what shall a man
give as an exchange for his soul? (38)For whoever shall be ashamed of
me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him
will also the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his
Father with the holy angels.

AND he said to them: Verily I say to you, that there are some of those
standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the
kingdom of God already come with power.

(2)And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John,
and brings them up int
