17 And they did eat, and were all filled. And there was taken up of the fragments which remained, twelve baskets.
18 And it came to pass, as he went alone with his disciples to pray, he asked them, saying, Who say the people that I am?
19 They answering said, Some say, John the Baptist; but others say, Elias; and others, That one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said unto them, but who say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ, the Son of God.
21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man of him,
22 Saying, the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and chief priests, and scribes; and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23 And he said unto them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For whosoever will save his life, must be willing to lose it for my sake; and whosoever will be willing to lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and yet he receive him not whom God hath ordained, and he lose his own soul, and he himself be a castaway?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own kingdom, clothed in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.
27 Verily, I tell you of a truth, there are some standing here who shall not taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God coming in power.
