Matthew 16:24

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

“And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

“Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, “Follow Me!”

Jesus *said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!”

For to this you have been called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in His steps,

Take Up Your Cross
