Luke 14:26 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Luke 14:25      Luke 14:27

Luke 14:26

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate (love me more than)
his father and mother,
his wife and children [or chooses not to marry, see Matt. 19:10–12],
his brothers and sisters
and even his own life [this earthly life],
he cannot be my disciple.
[In Jewish culture, these sayings, which are exaggerations, are common and are called hyperboles. Even in English, one can say, for example, that one loves red houses but hates yellow ones, thereby expressing a preference for a certain color without literally hating the other. Matthew translates a similar context as "whoever is more a friend of," see Matt. 10:37. Nevertheless, the words are very sharp and force us to consider where our loyalty lies. Who do we ultimately trust, is Jesus foremost? It is typical of Luke to include four points, see Luke 6:17.]
