34 [ref]Calling out to them and to the crowd, he said, “Anyone who wants to follow me must first put aside their own desires and then follow me—even through very difficult times. 35 [ref]Anyone who worries about saving their own life will lose it, but anyone who gives their life due to following me and my teaching will save their life. 36 Because it doesn’t benefit a person if they gain everything in the world but lose their soul. 37 What can someone offer in order to buy a home for their soul? 38 Yes, anyone who is ashamed of me and my message in front of this adulterous and sinful generation, humanity’s child will likewise be ashamed of them when he comes clearly displaying God’s greatness and bringing the holy messengers.”

9 And he continued, “I can assure you that some of the ones standing here won’t die until they have seen God’s powerful kingdom arrive.”

24 [ref]Then Yeshua told his apprentices, “If anyone wants to be my follower, they need to suppress their own desires and be ready to sacrifice and to suffer, and then follow me. 25 [ref]Because anyone who wants to save their life will lose it, but anyone who loses their life on my account, will be finding it. 26 What help would it be to a person if they gain everything in the world, and yet lose their soul? Or put another way, what could a person give in exchange for their soul? 27 [ref]Because humanity’s child is going to return displaying the splendour of his father and accompanied by his messengers, and then he’ll reward each individual according to their behaviour. 28 I can assure you that some people standing here won’t experience death until they first see humanity’s child coming in his kingdom.”
