Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(27) Whosoever doth not bear his cross . . .--See Note on Matthew 10:38. As now uttered, however, the words had a fresh significance as interpreted by what the disciples had heard from their Master's lips between Peter's confession and the Transfiguration (Luke 9:22-23). That "bearing of the cross" was becoming every day more clear and terrible in its growing nearness.Parallel Commentaries ...Greek[And] whoeverὅστις (hostis)Personal / Relative Pronoun - Nominative Masculine SingularStrong's 3748: Whosoever, whichsoever, whatsoever. {does} notοὐ (ou)AdverbStrong's 3756: No, not.
