Jesus Predicts His Death
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.(A) 22 And he said, “The Son of Man(B) must suffer many things(C) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(D) and he must be killed(E) and on the third day(F) be raised to life.”(G)
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.(H) 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.(I) 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them(J) when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.(K)
27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection(A)
21 (B)And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 saying, (C)“The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.”
Take Up the Cross and Follow Him(D)
23 (E)Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross [a]daily, and follow Me. 24 (F)For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25 (G)For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? 26 (H)For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be (I)ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels. 27 (J)But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”

Jesus Predicts His Death
21 Jesus warned his disciples not to tell anyone who he was. 22 “The Son of Man[a] must suffer many terrible things,” he said. “He will be rejected by the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He will be killed, but on the third day he will be raised from the dead.”
23 Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. 24 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. 25 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed? 26 If anyone is ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. 27 I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Kingdom of God.”

Jesus Speaks about His Suffering and Death(A)
21 Then Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell this to anyone. 22 He also told them, “The Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law. He will be put to death, but three days later he will be raised to life.”
23 (B)And he said to them all, “If you want to come with me, you must forget yourself, take up your cross every day, and follow me. 24 (C)For if you want to save your own life, you will lose it, but if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it. 25 Will you gain anything if you win the whole world but are yourself lost or defeated? Of course not! 26 If you are ashamed of me and of my teaching, then the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 I assure you that there are some here who will not die until they have seen the Kingdom of God.”
