²¹ Jesus said to him, “If you would be ^(A)perfect, go, ^(B)sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have ^(C)treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

^33 (A)Sell your possessions, and ^(B)give to the needy. ^(C)Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with ^(D)a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

²¹ And Jesus, ^(A)looking at him, ^(B)loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, ^(C)sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have ^(D)treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

²² When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. ^(A)Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have ^(B)treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

⁴⁵ And ^(A)they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.

²⁶ If anyone serves me, he must ^(A)follow me; and ^(B)where I am, there will my servant be also. ^(C)If anyone serves me, ^(D)the Father will honor him.

^27 (A)My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

^33 (A)So therefore, any one of you who ^(B)does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

²³ And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him ^(A)deny himself and ^(B)take up his cross ^(C)daily and follow me.
