Und wer nicht sein Kreuz trägt und mir nachfolgt, der kann nicht mein Jünger sein.
Y cualquiera que no trae su cruz, y viene en pos de mí, no puede ser mi discípulo.
Quien viene en pos de mí y no carga su propia cruz no puede ser mi discípulo.
Et quiconque ne porte pas sa croix, et ne me suit pas, ne peut être mon disciple.
E chiunque non porta la sua croce, e non vien dietro a me, non può esser mio discepolo.
E qualquer que não levar a sua cruz, e não vier após mim, não pode ser meu discípulo.
凡不背著自己的十字架來跟從我的,也不能作我的門徒。
