Luke 9:23-27 (Gospel)
- 23
- Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
- 24
- For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
- 25
- For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?
- 26
- For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.
- 27
- But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”
