Read it in context
The verses around Luke 9:23.
21And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22Saying, 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.
23And 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.
24For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
Verse explanation
The call to discipleship asks each person to deny himself and take up the cross “daily” — only Luke adds this word, turning self-giving into a daily practice rather than a single dramatic gesture.
From the Luke 9 study in Bible in Stories.
