37 El que ama padre ó madre más que á mí, no es digno de mí; y el que ama hijo ó hija más que á mí, no es digno de mí.

38 Y el que no toma su cruz, y sigue en pos de mí, no es digno de mí.

39 El que hallare su vida, la perderá; y el que perdiere su vida por causa de mí, la hallará.

40 El que os recibe á vosotros, á mí recibe; y el que á mí recibe, recibe al que me envió.
