Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

δεῦρο, ἀκολούθει μοι

come /be/_following ˱after˲_me

Note 6 topic: translate-textvariants

ἀκολούθει μοι

/be/_following ˱after˲_me

Many ancient manuscripts do not include any words after follow me. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts include the words “having taken up the cross” after the words follow me. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
