Mark 8

World English Bible (WEB)

34 Ref He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

35 Ref For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the Gospel's will save it.

36 Ref For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

37 Ref For what will a man give in exchange for his life?

38 Ref For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

King James Version (KJV)

34 Ref And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

35 Ref For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

36 Ref For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

37 Ref Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

38 Ref Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

34 Ref And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, `Whoever doth will to come after me -- let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;

35 Ref for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it;

36 Ref for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

37 Ref Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

38 Ref for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.'
