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

Then Jesus said to his disciples: "If any man wishes to walk in my steps, let him renounce self, and take up his cross, and follow me.

On hearing these words, the young man went away distressed, for he had great possessions.

Jesus looked at the man, and his heart went out to him, and he said: "There is still one thing wanting in you; go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall heave wealth in Heaven; then come and follow me."

After this many of his disciples drew back, and did not go about with him any longer.

There were, however, some men who joined him, and became believers in Christ. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the Court of Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and several others.

for Demas, in his love for the world, has deserted me. He has gone to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

But we do not belong to those who draw back, to their Ruin, but to those who have faith, to the saving of their souls.
