Luke 9:23
Douay-Rheims
And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Greek Expositor (anonymous)
(Isaac. Monac.) He rightly joins these two, Let him deny himself, and let him take up his cross, for as he who is prepared to ascend the cross conceives in his mind the intention of death, and so goes on thinking to have no more part in this life, so he who is willing to follow our Lord, ought first to deny himself, and so take up his cross, that his will may be ready to endure every calamity.
