'Cross' in the Bible
Now it happened that on one of the days both he and his disciples got into a boat, and he said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the lake." And they set sail,
And he said to [them] all, "If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross every day and follow me.
Whoever does not carry his own cross and {follow} me {cannot be} my disciple.
And in [addition to] all these [things], a great chasm has been established between us and you, so that those who want to cross over from here to you are not able [to do so], nor can they cross over from there to us.'
And as they led him away, they seized Simon, a certain [man] of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, [and] placed the cross on him, to carry [it] behind Jesus.
