Luke 9:20-24

²⁰Then He said to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?” In answer Peter said, “The Christ of God!”

²¹But He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²²saying, “The Son of the Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²³Then He said to everyone: “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me.

²⁴Because whoever desires to ‘save’ his life will waste it, but whoever ‘wastes’ his life for my sake, he will save it.
