And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.
All Commentaries on Matthew 10:38 Go To Matthew 10
Theophylact of Ochrid
AD 1107
Whoever, He says, does not renounce this present life and give himself over to shameful death, for this is what the cross signified to the ancients, is not worthy of Me. But since there are many who are crucified, such as robbers and thieves, He added, and followeth after Me, that is, live according to My laws.
