34 Então chamou a si a multidão com os seus discípulos, e disse-lhes: Quem quiser vir após mim, negue a si mesmo, tome a sua cruz, e siga-me;

35 pois quem quiser salvar a sua vida, a perderá; mas quem perder a sua vida por causa de mim e do Evangelho, esse a salvará.

37 Ou que daria alguém em resgate de sua alma?
