Luke 14:33

Plain English Version

Then Jesus said, “It is the same for you. If you want to be one of my followers, you have to think about it. You see, your life will be hard. You will have to leave everything you own, and then you can follow me.” (We have not yet translated 14:34-35. You can read those messages in Mark 9:50; Matthew 5:13.)
