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.”

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. 25 For (D)whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For 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? 27 For (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. 28 Assuredly, 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.”
