Matthew 16:26 Context
24¶ Then said Iesus vnto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him denie himselfe, and take vp his crosse, and follow me. 25For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer will lose his his life for my sake, shall finde it. 26For what is a man profited, if hee shal gaine the whole world, and lose his owne soule? Or what shall a man giue in exchange for his soule? 27For the sonne of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his Angels: and then he shall reward euery man according to his works. 28Uerely I say vnto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Sonne of man comming in his Kingdome.
