Lexham English Bible
26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and furthermore, even his own life, he cannot be[a] my disciple. 27 Whoever does not carry his own cross and follow[b] me cannot be[c] my disciple. 28 For which of you, wanting to build a tower, does not first sit down and[d] calculate the cost to see if he has enough[e] to complete it?[f]
