NETBible

Then¹ Jesus² called the crowd, along with his disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to become my follower,³ he must deny⁴ himself, take up his cross,⁵ and follow me.

NET Notes

¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

²tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³tn Grk “to follow after me.”

⁴tn This translation better expresses the force of the Greek third person imperative than the traditional “let him deny,” which could be understood as merely permissive.

⁵sn To bear the cross means to accept the rejection of the world for turning to Jesus and following him. Discipleship involves a death that is like a crucifixion; see Gal 6:14.
