Luke 9:24

Read in context

Luke 9:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 “The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

23 Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

25 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?

26 If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
