LUKE 14:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.”
And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple — the cross-bearing: the specific instrument of the death that might come to those who follow Jesus. Carry their cross (bastazei ton stauron) and follow me: the disciple's path is behind Jesus, carrying what he carries. The cross is not metaphorical suffering but the specific political execution that awaits the one who follows Jesus to Jerusalem.
