Luke 9:23-27 Then He said to everyone: “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Then He said to everyone: “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me. ²⁴ Because whoever desires to ‘save’ his life will lose it, but whoever ‘loses’ his life for my sake, he will save it. ²⁵ Further, what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, yet wastes or forfeits his very self? ²⁶ Yes, whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of Him, whenever He comes in the glory—His, and the Father’s, and of the holy angels. ²⁷ However, I tell you truly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God!”
