Luke 14:23-33

Weymouth New Testament WNT

23 "`Go out,' replied the master, `to the high roads and hedge-rows, and compel the people to come in, so that my house may be filled.

24 For I tell you that not one of those who were invited shall taste my dinner.'"

25 On His journey vast crowds attended Him, towards whom He turned and said,

26 "If any one is coming to me who does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes and his own life also, he cannot be a disciple of mine.

27 No one who does not carry his own cross and come after me can be a disciple of mine.

28 "Which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the cost, asking if he has the means to finish it? --

29 lest perhaps, when he has laid the foundation and is unable to finish, all who see it shall begin to jeer at him,

30 saying, `This man began to build, but could not finish.'

31 Or what king, marching to encounter another king in war, does not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet the one who is advancing against him with twenty thousand?

32 If not, while the other is still a long way off, he sends messengers and sues for peace.

33 Just as no one of you who does not detach himself from all that belongs to him can be a disciple of mine.

New International Version NIV

23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.

24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’ ”

25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said:

26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.

27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.

28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?

29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you,

30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’

31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace.

33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.
