Matthew 16:24-28

New King James Version

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him^(A)

²⁴^(B)Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and ^(C)follow Me. ²⁵For ^(D)whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. ²⁶For what ^(E)profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or ^(F)what will a man give in exchange for his soul? ²⁷For ^(G)the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father ^(H)with His angels, ^(I)and then He will reward each according to his works. ²⁸Assuredly, I say to you, ^(J)there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
