Take Up Your Cross

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and (A)take up his cross and follow Me. 25 For (B)whoever wishes to save his [a]life will lose it; but whoever loses his [b]life for My sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the (C)Son of Man (D)is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and (E)will then [c]repay each one according to his [d]deeds.

28 “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the (F)Son of Man (G)coming in His kingdom.”
