“Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wills to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me,”— Matthew 16:24 (LSV)
21From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that it is necessary for Him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise.
22And having taken Him aside, Peter began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, Lord; this will not be to You”;
23and He having turned, said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to Me, for you do not mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
24Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wills to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me,
25for whoever may will to save his life will lose it, and whoever may lose his life for My sake will find it;
26for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? Or what will a man give as an exchange for his life?
27For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father, with His messengers, and then He will reward each according to his work.
