Luke 9:22-27

22  a saying, b “The Son of Man must c suffer many things and d be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on e the third day be raised.”

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

23 And he said to all, If anyone would come after me, let him f deny himself and g take up his cross h daily and follow me. 24 For i whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25  j For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 26 For k whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed l when he comes in m his glory and the glory of the Father and of n the holy angels. 27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not o taste death p until they see the kingdom of God.”
