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 comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
All Commentaries on Mark 8:38 Go To Mark 8
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
But "whosoever shall be ashamed of Me in the presence of men, of him will I too be ashamed "says He, "in the presence of my Father who is in the heavens.".
I am safe, if I am not ashamed of my Lord. "Whosoever "says He, "shall be ashamed of me, of him will I also be ashamed.".
How will he confess, fleeing? How flee, confessing? "Of him who shall be ashamed of Me, will I also be ashamed before My Father."
