Luke 9

18	And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19	They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20	He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21	And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22	Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23	And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24	For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25	For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26	For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27	But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

Luke 14

25	And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26	If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27	And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28	For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29	Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30	Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31	Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32	Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth ambassadors, and desireth conditions of peace.
33	So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34	Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35	It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

John 13

1	Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2	And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
3	Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
4	He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
5	After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6	Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7	Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8	Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9	Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10	Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
11	For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12	So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13	Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14	If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15	For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16	Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
17	If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
