5 Bible Verses about Carrying The Cross

Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any wish to come after me, let him deny himself absolutely, and lift up his cross, and follow me. For whoever should wish to save his life shall lose it: and whoever shall lose his soul for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he should gain the whole world, and injure his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

And they took Jesus, and led away: and bearing his cross he went out into a place called Kranium, which in Hebraic is called Golgotha:

And coming, they found a man, a Cyrenian, Simon by name; they compelled him that he should lift up his cross.

And they constrain a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, passing by, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might take up his cross.

And as they led him away, seizing upon Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they laid the cross upon him, to carry after Jesus.
