If any man will come after me - See on Matthew 16:24 ; (note), and on Mark 8:34 ; (note), where the nature of proselytism among the Jews is explained.

Lose himself - That is, his life or soul. See the parallel places, Matthew 16:25 ; (note); Mark 8:35 ; (note), and especially the note on the former.
