Luke 9:23-27

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Deny Yourself, Take Up Your Cross, Follow Me. Some Here Will See My Kingdom

²³ And He was saying to everyone, “If anyone wants to be coming after Me, let him deny^[a] himself, and let him take up his cross^[b] daily, and let him be following Me. ²⁴ For whoever wants to save^[c] his life will lose it. But whoever loses his life for My sake— this one will save it. ²⁵ For what is a person profited— having gained the whole world, but having lost or having forfeited himself ? ²⁶ For whoever is ashamed-of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed-of this one when He comes in the glory of Himself and the Father and the holy angels. ²⁷ And I say to you truly, there are some^[d] of the ones standing here who will by-no-means taste death until they see the kingdom of God”.
