Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
ὅστις οὐ βαστάζει τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔρχεται ὀπίσω μου, οὐ δύναται εἶναί μου μαθητής
whoever not /is/_bearing the cross ˱of˲_him and /is/_coming after me not /is/_able to_be ˱of˲_me /a/_disciple
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this double negative as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must carry his cross and follow me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὐ βαστάζει τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ
not /is/_bearing the cross ˱of˲_him
Jesus assumes that the crowds will know that the Romans executed some criminals by nailing them to a wooden beam with crossbar that was set upright so that the criminals would slowly suffocate. Jesus assumes that the crowds will also know that the Romans made these criminals carry these wooden crosses through the streets to the place where they were going to be executed. Alternate translation: “does not carry the wooden cross on which he will be executed”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὐ βαστάζει τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ
not /is/_bearing the cross ˱of˲_him
Jesus uses the phrase carry his cross, referring to this practice of execution, to say that his disciples must be people who have given up their lives to God and who are willing to suffer. Alternate translation: “does not surrender his life to God and be willing to suffer”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἔρχεται ὀπίσω μου
/is/_coming after me
This is an idiom. Alternate translation: “follow my example” or “obey me”
14:27 To carry your own cross is a picture of dying to self. The horizontal beam of the cross was carried by a condemned criminal headed for crucifixion.
