Sayings on Discipleship.*
26l “If any one comes to me without hating his father* and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.m
27Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.n
28Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion?
29Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him
31Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops?
33In the same way, everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.o
