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.
Basil of Caesarea
(in Cons. Mon. cap. 4.) But He has left His own life for an example of blameless conversation to those who are willing to obey Him; as He says, Come after me, meaning thereby not a following of His body, for that would be impossible to all, since our Lord is in heaven, but a due imitation of His life according to their capacities.
