NETBible

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to become my follower,¹ he must deny² himself, take up his cross,³ and follow me.

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “to come after me.”

²tn 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.

³sn 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.
