²⁴ Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me; ²⁵ for whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. ²⁶ What profit will it be if a man gains the whole world and forfeits his own soul? What will a man offer as an equivalent for his soul? ²⁷ For the Son of man is coming in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will reward everyone for what he has done. ²⁸ I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the Son of man coming himself to reign."

³⁴ Then he called the crowd to him with his disciples and said to them, "If anyone wishes to follow me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and so follow me; ³⁵ for whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. ³⁶ What profit is it for a man to gain the whole world and to forfeit his soul? ³⁷ What could a man offer as an equivalent for his soul? ³⁸ Whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this disloyal and sinful generation, the Son of man will be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

¹ I tell you truly," he said, to them, "there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the coming of God's Reign with power."

²³ He said to all, "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross day after day, and so follow me; ²⁴ for whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it. ²⁵ What profit will it be for a man to gain the whole world and lose or forfeit himself? ²⁶ For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. ²⁷ I tell you plainly, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the Reign of God."
