New Testament

Luke 14:22-27 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

22. " 'Sir,' the servant said, 'what you ordered has been done. But there is still room.'

23. "Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads. Go out to the country lanes. Make the people come in. I want my house to be full.

24. I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will get a taste of my dinner.' "

25. Large crowds were traveling with Jesus. He turned and spoke to them. He said,

26. "Anyone who comes to me must hate his father and mother. He must hate his wife and children. He must hate his brothers and sisters. And he must hate even his own life. Unless he does, he can't be my disciple.

27. Anyone who doesn't carry his cross and follow me can't be my disciple.
