'Cross' in the Bible

When Jesus saw the large crowds around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.

The one who doesn't take up his cross and follow me isn't worthy of me.

Jesus immediately had the disciples get into a boat and cross to the other side ahead of him, while he sent the crowds away.

Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously.

As they were leaving, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to carry Jesus' cross.

and saying, "You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days save yourself! If you're the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

"He saved others but can't save himself! He is the king of Israel. Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
