Luke 9:21-25 But He particularly warned, yea, even commanded, them not to tell this to anybody,

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ But He particularly warned, yea, even commanded, them not to tell this to anybody, ²² as He said, "The Son of Man has to endure great suffering and be disowned by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes, and be put to death but be raised to life on the third day." ²³ Then He said to them all, "If anyone chooses to be my disciple, he must say 'No' to self, put the cross on his shoulders daily, and continue to follow me. ²⁴ For whoever chooses to save his lower life will lose his higher life, but whoever gives up his lower life for my sake will save his higher life. ²⁵ For what benefit will it be to a man to gain the whole world and lose or forfeit himself?
