Then Jesus told his disciples: If any man wants to follow me (be mine), let him deny (disown) himself, and take up his stake and follow me (Greek: akoloutheo moi, let him be following me) (accompany me) (be in the same way with me). He who wants to save his life will lose it. He who is willing to lose his life for my sake will find it. What will a man profit, if he gains the whole world, and gives up his life? What will a man give in exchange for his life? The Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels. He will then reward each man according to his deeds. I tell you truly, there are some that stand here who will not experience death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
