25Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them,

26If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

27Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have [wherewith] to complete it?

29Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,
