37 He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.
38 And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
39 He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it.
37 Kes isa või ema enam armastab kui Mind, see ei ole Mind väärt; ja kes poega või tütart enam armastab kui Mind, see ei ole Mind väärt;
38 ja kes ei võta oma risti enese peale ega järgi Mind, ei ole Mind väärt.
39 Kes oma elu leiab, kaotab selle, ja kes oma elu kaotab Minu pärast, leiab selle.
