²⁴ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

²⁷ Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

³⁴ And he called unto him the multitude with his disciples, and said unto them, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

²³ And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁴ For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

¹⁷ They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:

³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go `with them', that he might bear his cross.

²¹ And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
