Mark 8:34-9:1
New Living Translation
34 Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. 35 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. 36 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?[a] 37 Is anything worth more than your soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
9 Jesus went on to say, “I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Kingdom of God arrive in great power!”

Take Up Your Cross
34 Calling the crowd along with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself,(A) take up his cross,(B) and follow me.(C) 35 For whoever wants to save(D) his life will lose it,(E) but whoever loses(F) his life(G) because of me(H) and the gospel(I) will save it.(J) 36 For what does it benefit(K) someone to gain(L) the whole world(M) and yet lose(N) his life?(O) 37 What can anyone give in exchange for his life?(P) 38 For whoever is ashamed(Q) of me and my words(R) in this adulterous and sinful(S) generation,(T) the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory(U) of his Father(V) with the holy(W) angels.”(X)
9 Then he said to them, “Truly I tell you,(Y) there are some standing here who will not taste death(Z) until they see the kingdom of God come in power.”(AA)
