Matthew 16:24-28 — Legacy Standard Bible

Take Up Your Cross

²⁴Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and ^atake up his cross and follow Me. ²⁵“For ^awhoever wishes to save his ¹life will lose it; but whoever loses his ²life for My sake will find it. ²⁶“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? ²⁷“For the ^aSon of Man ^bis going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and ^cwill then ¹repay each one according to his ²deeds.

²⁸“Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the ^aSon of Man ^bcoming in His kingdom.”
