T that time: Jesus said to the multitude: If any one come to me, and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not carry his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it. Lest after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it all that see it, begin to mock at him, saying: This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, about to go to war against another king, doth not first sit down and think whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him, that with twenty thousand cometh against him. Or else while the other is yet afar off, he sendeth an embassy, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise every one of you, that doth not renounce all that he possesseth, cannot be my disciple.

Therefore also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute: that the blood of all the prophets which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; from the blood of Abel, unto the blood of Zacharias, who was slain between the altar and the temple.
