Markos 8:34-36

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³⁴ And having summoned the multitude along with his talmidim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, If anyone wishes to follow after me, let him make denial of himself, and take up his etz shel hakarav atzmo (tree of self-sacrifice), and follow me.

³⁵ For whoever wishes to save his nefesh will lose it; but whoever loses his nefesh for my sake and for the sake of the Besuras HaGeulah will save it.

³⁶ For how is the ben Adam (human being) benefited if he gain the kol haOlam, and forfeit his neshamah?
