* Now great multitudes went with Him . And He turned and said to them , * "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother , wife and children , brothers and sisters , yes , and his own life also , he cannot be My disciple . * And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple . * For which of you , intending to build a tower , does not sit down first and count the cost , whether he has enough to finish it -- * lest , after he has laid the foundation , and is not able to finish , all who see it begin to mock him , * saying , "This man began to build and was not able to finish .' * Or what king , going to make war against another king , does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand ? * Or else , while the other is still a great way off , he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace . * So likewise , whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple . * "Salt is good ; but if the salt has lost its flavor , how shall it be seasoned ? * It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill , but men throw it out . He who has ears to hear , let him hear !"
