And whoever does not take up his cross<n id="1" /> and follow me is not worthy of me.

But he<n id="1" /> replied, &#8220;They don&#8217;t need to go. You<n id="2" /> give them something to eat.&#8221;

These are the things that defile a person; it is not eating with unwashed hands that defiles a person.&#8221;<n id="1" />p>
