Lk 9:21-27

21He rebuked them and directed them not to tell this to anyone.

The First Prediction of the Passion. 22He said, “The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.”l

The Conditions of Discipleship.m 23Then he said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily* and follow me.n 24For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.o 25What profit is there for one to gain the whole world yet lose or forfeit himself? 26Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.p 27Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
