Mark 8:35

Taking Up One's Cross To Follow Jesus

³⁴ And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. ³⁵ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. ³⁶ For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?
