The Life of Jesus

They answered, and sayd, Iohn Baptist: and others say, Elias: and some say, that one of the olde Prophets is risen againe.

And he sayd vnto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered, and sayd, That Christ of God.

And he warned and commanded them, that they should tell that to no man,

Saying, The Sonne of man must suffer many things and be reproued of the Elders, and of the hie Priests and Scribes, and be slaine, and the third day rise againe.

And he sayd to them all, If any man will come after me, let him denie himselfe, and take vp his crosse dayly, and follow me.

For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall saue it.

For what auantageth it a man, if he win the whole worlde, and destroy himselfe, or lose himselfe?

For whosoeuer shall be ashamed of me, and of my wordes, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed, when hee shall come in his glorie, and in the glorie of the Father, and of the holy Angels.

And I tell you of a suretie, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they haue seene the kingdome of God.

And it came to passe about an eyght dayes after those wordes, that he tooke Peter and Iohn, and Iames, and went vp into a mountaine to pray.

And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was changed, and his garment was white and glistered.

And beholde, two men talked with him, which were Moses and Elias:

Which appeared in glory, and tolde of his departing, which he shoulde accomplish at Hierusalem.

But Peter and they that were with him, were heauie with sleepe, and when they awoke, they saw his glorie, and the two men standing with him.

And it came to passe, as they departed from him, Peter said vnto Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: let vs therefore make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias, and wist not what he said.

Whiles he thus spake, there came a cloude and ouershadowed them, and they feared when they were entring into the cloude.

And there came a voyce out of the cloud, saying, This is that my beloued Sonne, heare him.

And when the voyce was past, Iesus was found alone: and they kept it close, and tolde no man in those dayes any of those things which they had seene.

And it came to passe on the next day, as they came downe from the mountaine, much people met him.

And beholde, a man of the companie cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, beholde my sonne: for he is all that I haue.

And loe, a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth, and he teareth him, that he fometh, and hardly departeth from him, when he hath bruised him.

Nowe I haue besought thy disciples to cast him out, but they could not.

Then Iesus answered, and said, O generation faithlesse, and crooked, howe long now shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring thy sonne hither.

And whiles he was yet comming, the deuill rent him, and tare him: and Iesus rebuked the vncleane spirite, and healed the childe, and deliuered him to his father.

And they were all amased at the mightie power of God: and while they all wondered at al things, which Iesus did, he said vnto his disciples,
