Bearing one’s own cross; the tower, the king and the salt

자기 십자가를 지고 좇는 제자, 망대와 임금과 소금의 말씀

Luke 14:25–35: great multitudes are going with him; he turns and says to them, “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple. Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.” One who desires to build a tower first sits down and counts the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it, lest when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him; a king going to encounter another king in war first sits down and considers whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand, or else, while the other is yet a great way off, sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace. “So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.” Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what is it seasoned? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

LUK 14:25–35, engwebp
²⁵Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
²⁶“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.
²⁷Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
²⁸For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
²⁹Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
³⁰saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
³¹Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
³²Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
³³So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
³⁴“Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
³⁵It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
