Luke 9:23

In context

21He warned them sternly to tell this to no one, 22and said, “The Son of Man must suffer greatly, be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, be killed, and on the third day be raised.” 23To them all he said, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him say no to himself, take up his cross day after day, and follow me. 24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25What does a man gain by winning the whole world if he destroys or forfeits himself?
