The Cost of Discipleship
25Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 f“If anyone comes to me and gdoes not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, hyes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 iWhoever does not jbear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not kfirst sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not lsit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33 mSo therefore, any one of you who ndoes not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
