Mark 8:34

Taking Up One's Cross To Follow Jesus

³³ But, he, turning round and looking upon his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith - Withdraw behind me, Satan! because thou art not regarding the things, of God, but the things, of men. ³⁴ And, calling near the multitude with his disciples, he said unto them - If anyone willeth, after me, to come, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and be following me. ³⁵ For, whosoever willeth, his own life, to save, shall lose it, but, whosoever shall lose his life for the sake of me and of the glad-message, shall save it;
