Matius 8:10
Konteks8:10 When 1 Jesus heard this he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “I tell you the truth, 2 I have not found such faith in anyone in Israel!
Matius 16:25
Konteks16:25 For whoever wants to save his life 3 will lose it, 4 but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
[8:10] 1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
[8:10] 2 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
[16:25] 3 tn Or “soul” (throughout vv. 25-26).
[16:25] 4 sn The point of the saying whoever wants to save his life will lose it is that if one comes to Jesus then rejection by many will certainly follow. If self-protection is a key motivation, then one will not respond to Jesus and will not be saved. One who is willing to risk rejection will respond and find true life.
