THE MESSAGE

Contextual Overview

²⁵ And while many people were going with him, he turned and said to them, ²⁶ He who comes to me and does not put aside his father, and his mother, and his brothers, and his sisters, and his wife, and his children, and even his own life, he cannot be a disciple to me. ²⁷ And he who does not take up his cross and follow me, cannot be a disciple to me. ²⁸ For which of you, who wishes to build a tower, does not at first sit down and consider its cost, to see if he has enough to finish it? ²⁹ Lest after he has laid the foundation, he is not able to finish it, and all who see it will mock him, ³⁰ Saying, This man began to build, but he was not able to finish. ³¹ Or which king, who goes to war to fight against a king equal to him, would not at first reason, whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one who is coming against him with twenty thousand? ³² And if not, while he is far away from him, sends envoys and seeks peace. ³³ So every man of you, who would not leave all his possessions, cannot be a disciple to me. ³⁴ Salt is good; but if the salt lose its savor, with what can it be salted?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
