Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.

and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give it thee?

If therefore ye cannot do even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?

And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.

If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;

and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what is needed to complete it;

Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.

No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will cleave to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who desire to cross from there pass over unto us.

And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe to him by whom they come!
