Acknowledging or denying Jesus
Matthew 10:32-33Mark 8:38Luke 12:8-9
A similar saying; scholars discuss whether it is the same saying in another setting or a repeated one.
Luke 9:26
26For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when he comes in his glory and that of the Father and of the holy angels.
32So everyone who acknowledges me before people, I too will acknowledge him before my Father who is in heaven; 33but whoever denies me before people, I too will deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
38For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
8And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before people, the Son of Man also will acknowledge him before the angels of God; 9but the one who denies me before people will be denied before the angels of God.
Take up your cross
Luke 9:23-27
23And he was saying to all, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for the sake of me, that one will save it. 25For what is a person benefited if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself? 26For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when he comes in his glory and that of the Father and of the holy angels. 27But I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
24Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for the sake of me will find it. 26For what will it profit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life? 27For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will repay each one according to his conduct. 28Truly I tell you, there are some of those standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
8:34And summoning the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 8:35For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for the sake of me and the good news will save it. 8:36For what does it profit a person to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? 8:37For what can a person give in exchange for his life? 8:38For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” 9:1And he was saying to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some of those standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the kingdom of God having come with power.”
25For what is a person benefited if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?

27But I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
1. What it says
When Jesus asks, “Who do you say that I am?”, what do the crowds say, and what does Peter answer? (vv. 18-20)
2. What it means
Jesus says anyone who wants to follow him must deny themselves and take up their cross daily. What reason does he give? (vv. 23-25)
3. How I live it
The disciples argued about who was greatest, and Jesus stood a child beside him (vv. 46-48). Whom could you give more attention to today?
