*
Now there went with him great multitudes :
and he turned ,
and said to them ,
*
If any man comes to me ,
and does not hate his own father ,
and mother ,
and wife ,
and children ,
and brothers ,
and sisters ,
yes ,
and his own life also ,
he can '
t be my disciple .
*
Whoever does not bear his own cross ,
and come after me ,
can '
t be my disciple .
*
For which of you (
note :){+}(:
note ),
desiring to build a tower ,
does not first sit down and count the cost ,
whether he has [
the means ]
to complete it ?
*
Lest perhaps ,
when he has laid a foundation ,
and is not able to finish ,
all who watch begin to mock him ,
*
saying ,
This man began to build ,
and was not able to finish .
*
Or what king ,
as he goes to encounter another king in war ,
will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand ?
*
Otherwise ,
while the other is yet a great way off ,
he sends an ambassador ,
and asks the [
conditions ]
of peace .
*
So therefore whoever he is of you (
note :){+}(:
note )
who does not renounce all that he has ,
he can '
t be my disciple .
*
Salt therefore is good :
but if even the salt has lost its savor ,
how will it be seasoned ?
*
It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill : [
men ]
cast it out .
He who has ears to hear ,
let him hear .
