5 Bible Verses about Carrying The Cross

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?

And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.
