Lucas 9:23

23 Y decía a todos: Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz cada día y sígame.

Lucas 9:23 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:23

And he said to them all
Not only to all the disciples, but "to the multitude", as the Arabic version renders it, who were now called unto him, with his disciples, as is clear from ( Mark 8:34 ) ,

any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross daily, and follow me;
the same is said here, as in ( Matthew 16:24 ) ( Mark 8:34 ) , (See Gill on Matthew 16:24), (See Gill on Mark 8:34), only here the word, "daily", is added; and which, though as Beza observes, is not in the Complutensian edition, nor in five ancient copies; yet is in others, and in the Vulgate Latin, and in all the Oriental versions; and to be retained, as having a very considerable emphasis in it; showing that afflictions, trials, and persecutions of one sort or another, are to be expected every day by the people of God, and to be continually submitted to, and borne with cheerfulness.

Lucas 9:23 In-Context

21 Pero El, advirtiéndoles severamente, les mandó que no dijeran esto a nadie,
22 diciendo: El Hijo del Hombre debe padecer mucho, y ser rechazado por los ancianos, los principales sacerdotes y los escribas, y ser muerto, y resucitar al tercer día.
23 Y decía a todos: Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz cada día y sígame.
24 Porque el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá, pero el que pierda su vida por causa de mí, ése la salvará.
25 Pues, ¿de qué le sirve a un hombre haber ganado el mundo entero, si él mismo se destruye o se pierde?
