Luke 14:33 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:33

So likewise whosoever he be of you
Let him be ever so forward to follow me, to make a profession of me and of my Gospel, and to become a disciple of mine:

that forsaketh not all that he hath;
when called to it, relations, friends, possessions, estates, and what not, which is an explanation of ( Luke 14:26 )

he cannot be my disciple;
he is not in fact one, and is not worthy to be called one.

Luke 14:33 In-Context

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.

34 "Salt is good: but if even the salt has become tasteless, what will you use to season it?

35 Neither for land nor dunghill is it of any use; they throw it away. Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
