Discipleship Is Costly

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, (A)take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For (B)whoever wants to save his [a]life will lose it; but whoever loses his [b]life for My sake will find it. 26 For what good will it do a person if he gains the whole world, but [c]forfeits his soul? Or what will a person 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 repay every person 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.”

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously. 25 Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it, 26 because what profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life? 27 The Son of Man is going to come with his angels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay everyone according to what he has done. 28 I tell all of you[a] with certainty, some people standing here will not experience[b] death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
