Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Matthew 16
²³ But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."
²⁴ Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
²⁵ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
²⁶ For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
²⁷ For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.
²⁸ Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."
Matthew 17
¹ Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;
² and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
³ And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
⁴ Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"
