Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
21 But the One, having warned them, ordered them to be telling this to no one— 22 having said that “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day”.
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”.
