* Now many multitudes went with him , and having turned , he said to them , * If any man comes to me , and does not regard as inferior his father , and mother , and wife , and children , and brothers , and sisters , and besides his own life also , he cannot be my disciple . * And whoever does not bear his cross , and come behind me , cannot be my disciple . * For which of you wanting to build a tower , does not , having first sat down , count the cost whether he has the things for completion ? * So that perhaps , having laid its foundation , and not being able to finish , all those who see begin to ridicule him , * saying , This man began to build , and was not able to finish . * Or what king going to encounter another king in war , will not , having first sat down , consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand ? * And if not , while he is still far off , having sent a delegation , he asks the things about peace . * So therefore every man of you who does not renounce all things being possessed by him , cannot be my disciple . * The salt material is good , but if the salt material becomes tasteless , by what will it be seasoned ? * It is fit neither for the land nor for manure ; they cast it out . He who has ears to hear , let him hear .
