Luke 5:11

“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.

However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

If you love me, keep my commandments.

You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

So therefore whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.

It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in Yahweh’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.

Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?”

Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all, and have followed you.”

He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross, and come after me, can’t be my disciple.

But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.

I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.

Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.

He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron.

As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.

He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.

He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me, isn’t worthy of me.

Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,

If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,

that no flesh should boast before God.

For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.

I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
