Jesus Speaks of His Crucifixion^(A)

²¹ Jesus ·warned [sternly commanded] them not to tell anyone, saying, ²² “The Son of Man [^Ca title for the Messiah; Dan. 7:13–14] must suffer many things. He will be rejected by the Jewish elders, the ·leading [^Tchief] priests, and the ·teachers of the law [scribes]. He will be killed and ·after three days [^Lon the third day] will be raised from the dead.”

²³ Jesus said to all of them, “If ·people want [^Lanyone wants] to follow me, they must ·give up the things they want [deny themselves; set aside their own interests]. They must ·be willing to give up their lives [^Ltake up their cross] daily and follow me.
