16.24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
於是耶穌對門徒說，若有人要跟從我，就當舍己，背起他的十字架，來跟從我。
16.25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.
因為凡要救自己生命的，（生命或作靈魂下同）必喪掉生命。凡為我喪掉生命的，必得著生命。
16.26 What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
人若賺得全世界，賠上自己的生命，有什麽益處呢？人還能拿什麽換生命呢？
16.27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.
人子要在他父的榮耀裏，同著眾使者降臨。那時候，他要照各人的行為報應各人。
16.28 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
我實在告訴你們，站在這裏的，有人在沒嚐死味以前，必看見人子降臨在他的國裏。
