24 Then
Jesus said to his disciples,
“If any of you wants to be my follower,
you must turn from your selfish ways,
take up your cross, and follow me. 25 If
you try to hang on to your life, you will
lose it. But if you give up your life for
my sake, you will save it. 26 And what
do you benefit if you gain the whole
world but lose your own soul?* Is
anything worth more than your soul?
27 For the Son of Man will come with
his angels in the glory of his Father
and will judge all people according to
their deeds. 28 And I tell you the truth,
some standing here right now will not
die before they see the Son of Man
coming in his Kingdom.”
days later Jesus took Peter and
the two brothers, James and John,
and led them up a high mountain to
be alone. 2 As the men watched, Jesus’
appearance was transformed so that
his face shone like the sun, and his
clothes became as white as light.
3 Suddenly, M
oses and Elijah appeared
and began talking with Jesus.
4
Peter exclaimed, “Lord, it’s wonderful for us to be here! If you want,
I’ll make three shelters as memorials*—one for you, one for M
oses, and
one for Elijah.”
5 But even as he spoke, a bright
cloud overshadowed them, and a
voice from the cloud said, “This is my
dearly loved Son, who brings me great
joy. Listen to him.” 6 The disciples
were terrified and fell face down on
the ground.
7 Then Jesus came over and touched
them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be
afraid.” 8 And when they looked up,
Moses and Elijah were gone, and they
saw only Jesus.
9 As they went back down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t
tell anyone what you have seen until
the Son of Man* has been raised from
the dead.”

How the king rejoices in your
strength, O Lord!
He shouts with joy because you
give him victory.
For you have given him his heart’s
desire;
you have withheld nothing he
requested.
Interlude
You welcomed him back with
success and prosperity.
You placed a crown of finest
gold on his head.
He asked you to preserve his life,
and you granted his request.
The days of his life stretch on
forever.
Your victory brings him great honor,
and you have clothed him with
splendor and majesty.
You have endowed him with
eternal blessings
and given him the joy of your
presence.
For the king trusts in the Lord.
The unfailing love of the Most
High will keep him from
stumbling.
You will capture all your enemies.
Your strong right hand will seize
all who hate you.
You will throw them in a flaming
furnace
when you appear.
The Lord will consume them in
his anger;
fire will devour them.
You will wipe their children from
the face of the earth;
they will never have
descendants.
Although they plot against you,
their evil schemes will never
succeed.
For they will turn and run
when they see your arrows
aimed at them.
