Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Not as a mariner, in a storm, casts away his goods by force, but as a bride leaves her father's house (Psalm 45:10). It must be out of a principle of grace, and out of love to Christ. (T. Manton, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. |
