Luc 14:25 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:25

And there went great multitudes with him
From Galilee, as he journeyed from thence to Jerusalem; some for one thing, and some another, and all perhaps were in expectation of his setting up a temporal kingdom when he came there; and hoped they should share, more or less, the worldly advantages of it; for the whole nation was big with such carnal notions of the Messiah. Jesus therefore, to draw off their minds from such views, and that they might not be disappointed, acquaints them, that if they would be his disciples, they must part with all that was near and dear to them; and prepare to suffer great hardships and difficulties for his name's sake: for it follows,

and he turned;
himself to the company that was behind: and said unto them; with a grave and stern countenance, looking wistly at them, and in the most solemn manner delivered what is hereafter related.

Luc 14:25 In-Context

23 Et le maître dit au serviteur: Va dans les chemins et le long des haies, et ceux que tu trouveras, contrains-les d'entrer, afin que ma maison soit remplie.

24 Car, je vous le dis, aucun de ces hommes qui avaient été invités ne goûtera de mon souper.

25 De grandes foules faisaient route avec Jésus. Il se retourna, et leur dit:

26 Si quelqu'un vient à moi, et s'il ne hait pas son père, sa mère, sa femme, ses enfants, ses frères, et ses soeurs, et même sa propre vie, il ne peut être mon disciple.

27 Et quiconque ne porte pas sa croix, et ne me suit pas, ne peut être mon disciple.
