Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

23And he said to all, If anyone would come after me, let him odeny himself and ptake up his cross qdaily and follow me. 24For rwhoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 sFor what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 26For twhoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed uwhen he comes in vhis glory and the glory of the Father and of wthe holy angels. 27But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not xtaste death yuntil they see the kingdom of God.”
