TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:23 take up your cross daily: This did not simply mean carrying a heavy burden, but suffering a violent death by crucifixion. Believers must be completely willing to die to themselves and to live for God, even at the cost of their lives.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

πρὸς πάντας

to all

Alternate translation: “to all of his disciples who were with him”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὀπίσω μου ἔρχεσθαι

after me /to_be/_coming

To follow or to come after Jesus represents being one of his disciples. Alternate translation: “be my disciple”

ἀρνησάσθω ἑαυτὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλεγεν δὲ πρὸς πάντας εἴ τις θέλει ὀπίσω μου ἔρχεσθαι ἀπαρνησάσθω ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καθʼ ἡμέραν καὶ ἀκολουθείτω μοι)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καθ’ ἡμέραν

The image is of a condemned prisoner being forced to carry the cross on which he would be crucified to the place where he would be executed. Luke assumes that his readers will recognize this image from their own culture. But if it would not be familiar to your readers, you could use a more general expression. Alternate translation: “he must be willing every day to suffer and die for my sake”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καθ’ ἡμέραν

˱him˲_/let/_take_up the cross ˱of˲_him in_every day

καὶ ἀκολουθείτω μοι

and and ˱him˲_/let_be/_following ˱after˲_me

Here, to follow Jesus means to obey him. Alternate translation: “and obey me in that way”
