New Testament for Everyone
The cost of discipleship
25 A large crowd was gathering around him. Jesus turned to face them.
26 “If any of you come to me,” he said to them, “and don’t hate your father and your mother, your wife and your children, your brothers and your sisters—yes, and even your own life!—you can’t be my disciple. 27 If you don’t pick up your own cross and come after me, you can’t be my disciple.
