anantaraṁ yīśuḥ svīyaśiṣyān uktavān yaḥ kaścit mama paścādgāmī bhavitum icchati, sa svaṁ dāmyatu, tathā svakruśaṁ gṛhlan matpaścādāyātu|

ato'haṁ tvāṁ vadāmi, tvaṁ pitaraḥ (prastaraḥ) ahañca tasya prastarasyopari svamaṇḍalīṁ nirmmāsyāmi, tena nirayo balāt tāṁ parājetuṁ na śakṣyati|

ahaṁ tubhyaṁ svargīyarājyasya kuñjikāṁ dāsyāmi, tena yat kiñcana tvaṁ pṛthivyāṁ bhaṁtsyasi tatsvarge bhaṁtsyate, yacca kiñcana mahyāṁ mokṣyasi tat svarge mokṣyate|

yato yaḥ prāṇān rakṣitumicchati, sa tān hārayiṣyati, kintu yo madarthaṁ nijaprāṇān hārayati, sa tān prāpsyati|

mānuṣo yadi sarvvaṁ jagat labhate nijapraṇān hārayati, tarhi tasya ko lābhaḥ? manujo nijaprāṇānāṁ vinimayena vā kiṁ dātuṁ śaknoti?

paścāt sa tān papraccha, yūyaṁ māṁ kaṁ vadatha? tataḥ śimon pitara uvāca, tvamamareśvarasyābhiṣiktaputraḥ|

tato yīśuḥ kathitavān, he yūnasaḥ putra śimon tvaṁ dhanyaḥ; yataḥ kopi anujastvayyetajjñānaṁ nodapādayat, kintu mama svargasyaḥ pitodapādayat|
