For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
All Commentaries on Luke 9:26 Go To Luke 9
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.".
It is, however, a jealous God whom He here presents to me one who returns evil for evil. "For whosoever "says He, "shall be ashamed of me, of him will I also be ashamed.".
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."
