Luke 9:25 in Context — Luke 9

23 Puis il dit à tous: Si quelqu’un veut venir après moi, qu’il renonce à lui-même, qu’il se charge chaque jour de sa croix, et qu’il me suive.

24 Car celui qui voudra sauver sa vie la perdra, mais celui qui la perdra à cause de moi la sauvera.

25 Et que servirait-il à un homme de gagner tout le monde, s’il se détruisait ou se perdait lui-même?

26 Car quiconque aura honte de moi et de mes paroles, le Fils de l’homme aura honte de lui, quand il viendra dans sa gloire, et dans celle du Père et des saints anges.

27 Je vous le dis en vérité, quelques-uns de ceux qui sont ici ne mourront point qu’ils n’aient vu le royaume de Dieu.
