Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me,

he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever

loses his life for me will find it.

What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world,

yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory

with his angels, and then he will reward each person

according to what he has done.

I tell you the truth, some who are standing here

will not taste death before they see the Son of Man

coming in his kingdom."
