Matthew 16:24-28 - Taking Up One's Cross To Follow Jesus

Matthew 16:24-28

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, If any one wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever may wish to save his soul shall lose it: and whosoever may lose his soul for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he may gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will give to each one according to his works. 28 Truly I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who may not taste of death, until they may see the Son of man coming in His kingdom.

Mark 8:34-Mark 9:1

34 And calling the multitude to Him with His disciples, He said to them, Whosoever wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever may wish to save his soul shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his soul for my sake and that of the gospel shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 For what would a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 For whosoever may be ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and wicked generation, the Son of man shall also be ashamed of him, when He may come in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.

1 And He said to them, Truly I say unto you, that there are certain ones of those standing here, who may not taste of death, until they may see the kingdom of God, having come with power.

Luke 9:23-27

23 And He spoke to all, If any one wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever may wish to save his soul shall lose it; and whosoever may lose his soul for my sake, he shall save it. 25 For what is a man profited, gaining the whole world, and losing or forfeiting himself? 26 For whosoever may be ashamed of me and my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of him, when He may come in His glory, and that of the Father, and that of the holy angels. 27 And truly I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who may not taste of death, until they may see the kingdom of God.
