* Now great multitudes were going with him . He turned and said to them , * "If anyone comes to me , and doesn 't disregard {or , hate } his own father , mother , wife , children , brothers , and sisters , yes , and his own life also , he can 't be my disciple . * Whoever doesn 't bear his own cross , and come after me , can 't be my disciple . * For which of you , desiring to build a tower , doesn 't first sit down and count the cost , to see if he has enough to complete it ? * Or perhaps , when he has laid a foundation , and is not able to finish , everyone who sees begins to mock him , * saying , 'This man began to build , and wasn 't able to finish .' * Or what king , as he goes to encounter another king in war , will 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 yet a great way off , he sends an envoy , and asks for conditions of peace . * So therefore whoever of you who doesn 't renounce all that he has , he can 't be my disciple . * Salt is good , but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless , with what do you season it ? * It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile . It is thrown out . He who has ears to hear , let him hear ."
