Taking Up the Cross and Following Christ Is Costly

• 24. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
  
  • Greek
    • Τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ Εἴ τις θέλει ὀπίσω μου ἐλθεῖν ἀπαρνησάσθω ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀκολουθείτω μοι
• 25. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
  
  • Greek
    • ὃς γὰρ ἂν θέλῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι ἀπολέσει αὐτήν· ὃς δ᾽ ἂν ἀπολέσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ εὑρήσει αὐτήν
• 26. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
  
  • Greek
    • τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖται ἄνθρωπος ἐὰν τὸν κόσμον ὅλον κερδήσῃ τὴν δὲ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ζημιωθῇ ἢ τί δώσει ἄνθρωπος ἀντάλλαγμα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ
• 27. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
  
  • Greek
    • μέλλει γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεσθαι ἐν τῇ δόξῃ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ καὶ τότε ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὴν πρᾶξιν αὐτοῦ
• 28.↓ Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
  
  • Greek
    • ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν εἰσίν τινες τῶν ὧδε ἑστηκότων, οἵτινες οὐ μὴ γεύσωνται θανάτου ἕως ἂν ἴδωσιν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ
  • Notes
    • ° If you keep reading the beginning of the next chapter, Matthew 17:1-2, you will see what Jesus is talking about.
      ° Some of the disciples, Peter, James, John and his brother, saw the transfiguration of Jesus six days later
      ° The Kingdom was upon him and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as light
