25
Great crowds were following Jesus. He turned around and said to them,
26"If you want to be my follower you must love me more than a your own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters -- yes, more than your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. 27And you cannot be my disciple if you do not carry your own cross and follow me.
