And having called together the "crowd"
along with his pupils ... |
|
|
he said to them ... If anyone is willing behind

| |

|
|
and let him take up his cross ... |
|
|
and let him follow me. |

For whoever desires to save his soul ... |
| |
he will lose it ... |
|
|
but whoever loses his soul for my sake and the
"good news" ... |
| |
he will save it. |
|
8:36
|
For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole
cosmos ... |
|
|
and to lose his soul? |
|
8:37
|
For what may a man give in exchange for his soul?
|
|
8:38
|
For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in
this adulterous and sinful generation ... |
|
|
also the "son of man" will be ashamed
of him ... |
| |
when he comes in the glory of his father with
the "holy messengers." |
