Luke 9:21-25

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

²¹ He sternly ordered and commanded them not to tell anyone,^{(A) 22} saying, “The Son of Man must undergo great suffering and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes and be killed and on the third day be raised.”^(B)

²³ Then he said to them all, “If any wish to come after me, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.^{(C) 24} For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it.^{(D) 25} For what does it profit them if they gain the whole world but lose or forfeit themselves?^(E)
