Luke 14:25-33
25 Once when large crowds of people were going along with Jesus,
he turned and said to them, 26 “Those who come to me cannot be my
disciples unless they love me more than they love father and mother,
wife and children, brothers and sisters, and themselves as well. 27 Those
who do not carry their own cross and come after me cannot be my
disciples. 28 If one of you is planning to build a tower, you sit down first
and figure out what it will cost, to see if you have enough money to finish
the job. 29 If you don't, you will not be able to finish the tower after laying
the foundation; and all who see what happened will make fun of
you. 30 ‘You began to build but can't finish the job!’ they will say. 31 If a
king goes out with ten thousand men to fight another king who comes
against him with twenty thousand men, he will sit down first and decide if
he is strong enough to face that other king. 32 If he isn't, he will send
messengers to meet the other king to ask for terms of peace while he is
still a long way off. 33 In the same way,” concluded Jesus, “none of you
can be my disciple unless you give up everything you have.
