Luke 9:23

Then Jesus said to everyone [the disciples and the crowd, see Mark 8:34]:
"If anyone wants to follow (go behind) me
he must deny (reject; say no to; refrain from) himself [his own agenda]
and daily take up his cross
and follow me (be/walk with me on the road) [become my disciple].
[At the end of the verse, the Greek has another word for following (namely akoloutheo), which means to walk the same path as or to walk together on the road with. The letter a comes from the Greek Alpha (the first) and stands as a prefix meaning 'without' (often in connection with renunciation and hardship), but also as an abbreviation of hama (an adverb denoting close connection but also occurring in the sense of union and the formation of a unity). Jesus' disciples must leave their own behind, walk in the footsteps of the Master, and follow his example in everything – yes, even be prepared to suffer and die for his sake.]
