“A certain man was preparing a great supper, and invited many at the hour of the supper, he sent his servant to say to those having been invited, ‘Come, for now it is ready.’
And all with one voice began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I have need, going out, to see it. I beg of you, hold me excused.’And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to prove them. I beg of you, hold me excused.’
And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and because of this I am not able to come.’ and the servant having come, reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, having become angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
And the servant said, ‘Sir, as you did command, it has been done, and there is still room.’
And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled. For I say to all of you that not one of those men having been invited will taste my supper.’”
And great crowds were going with Him, and having turned, He said to them, “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters and yes, even his life, he is not able to be My disciple. Whoever does not carry his cross and come after Me is not able to be My disciple.
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first, having sat down, count the cost, whether he has enough for its completion? Otherwise, he having laid its foundation and not being able to finish, all seeing it may begin to mock him,saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’
Or what king, proceeding to engage with another king in war, will not, having sat down, first take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand? And if not, of him being still far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for peace.
So therefore every one of you who does not give up all that he himself possesses, is not able to be My disciple."
