Contextual Overview

²⁵ Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and he turned and said to them, ²⁶ "If anyone comes to me but loves his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters—or even life—more than me, he cannot be my follower. ²⁷ Whoever is not willing to carry his cross and follow me cannot be my follower. ²⁸ If you want to build a tower, you first sit down and decide how much it will cost, to see if you have enough money to finish the job. ²⁹ If you don't, you might lay the foundation, but you would not be able to finish. Then all who would see it would make fun of you, ³⁰ saying, ‘This person began to build but was not able to finish.' ³¹ "If a king is going to fight another king, first he will sit down and plan. He will decide if he and his ten thousand soldiers can defeat the other king who has twenty thousand soldiers. ³² If he can't, then while the other king is still far away, he will send some people to speak to him and ask for peace. ³³ In the same way, you must give up everything you have to be my follower. ³⁴ "Salt is good, but if it loses its salty taste, you cannot make it salty again.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there went great multitudes with him,.... From Galilee, as he journeyed from thence to Jerusalem; some for one thing, and some another, and all perhaps were in expectation of his setting up a temporal kingdom when he came there; and hoped they should share, more or less, the worldly advantages of it; for the whole nation was big with such carnal notions of the Messiah. Jesus therefore, to draw off their minds from such views, and that they might not be disappointed, acquaints them, that if they would be his disciples, they must part with all that was near and dear to them; and prepare to suffer great hardships and difficulties for his name's sake: for it follows,

and he turned; himself to the company that was behind: and said unto them; with a grave and stern countenance, looking wistly at them, and in the most solemn manner delivered what is hereafter related.
