23And he said unto all, `If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me;
24for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake, he shall save it;
25for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?
26`For whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, of this one shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he may come in his glory, and the Father`s, and the holy messengers`;
27and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those here standing, who shall not taste of death till they may see the reign of God.`
28And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up to the mountain to pray,
29and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white -- sparkling.
