Luke 9:23-27 He said to all: "If any one chooses to come after me, let him disown himself and take up his cross every day and follow me.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ He said to all: "If any one chooses to come after me, let him disown himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. ²⁴ He who chooses to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. ²⁵ For what will it profit a man to gain the whole world if he has lost or forfeited himself? ²⁶ Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when he comes in his glory and that of his Father and of the holy angels. ²⁷ I tell you truly there are some of those standing here who will not taste of death until they see the kingdom of God."
