27 And G2532 whosoever G3748 doth G941 not G3756 bear G941 his G846 cross, G4716 and G2532 come G2064 after G3694 me, G3450 cannot G3756 G1410 be G1511 my G3450 disciple. G3101
And G2532 he G3739 that taketh G2983 not G3756 his G846 cross, G4716 and G2532 followeth G190 after G3694 me, G3450 is G2076 not G3756 worthy G514 of me. G3450
And G1161 he said G3004 to G4314 them all, G3956 If any man G1536 will G2309 come G2064 after G3694 me, G3450 let him deny G533 himself, G1438 and G2532 take up G142 his G846 cross G4716 daily, G2250 G2596 and G2532 follow G190 me. G3427 For G1063 whosoever G3739 G302 will G2309 save G4982 his G846 life G5590 shall lose G622 it: G846 but G1161 whosoever G3739 G302 will lose G622 his G846 life G5590 for my G1700 sake, G1752 the same G3778 shall save G4982 it. G846 For G1063 what G5101 is G5623 a man G444 advantaged, G5623 if he gain G2770 the whole G3650 world, G2889 and G1161 lose G622 himself, G1438 or G2228 be cast away? G2210
And G2532 when he had called G4341 the people G3793 unto him with G4862 his G846 disciples G3101 also, he said G2036 unto them, G846 Whosoever G3748 will G2309 come G2064 after G3694 me, G3450 let him deny G533 himself, G1438 and G2532 take up G142 his G846 cross, G4716 and G2532 follow G190 me. G3427 For G1063 whosoever G3739 G302 will G2309 save G4982 his G846 life G5590 shall lose G622 it; G846 but G1161 whosoever G3739 G302 shall lose G622 his G846 life G5590 for G1752 my sake G1700 and G2532 the gospel's, G2098 the same G3778 shall save G4982 it. G846 For G1063 what G5101 shall it profit G5623 a man, G444 if G1437 he shall gain G2770 the whole G3650 world, G2889 and G2532 lose G2210 his own G846 soul? G5590 Or G2228 what G5101 shall G1325 a man G444 give G1325 in exchange G465 for his G846 soul? G5590
For G1223 the which G3739 cause G156 I G3958 also G2532 suffer G3958 these things: G5023 nevertheless G235 I am G1870 not G3756 ashamed: G1870 for G1063 I know G1492 whom G3739 I have believed, G4100 and G2532 am persuaded G3982 that G3754 he is G2076 able G1415 to keep G5442 that which I G3450 have committed unto him G3866 against G1519 that G1565 day. G2250
Then G5119 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto his G846 disciples, G3101 If any G1536 man will G2309 come G2064 after G3694 me, G3450 let him deny G533 himself, G1438 and G2532 take up G142 his G846 cross, G4716 and G2532 follow G190 me. G3427 For G1063 whosoever G3739 G302 will G2309 save G4982 his G846 life G5590 shall lose G622 it: G846 and G1161 whosoever G3739 G302 will lose G622 his G846 life G5590 for G1752 my G1700 sake G1752 shall find G2147 it. G846 For G1063 what G5101 is a man G444 profited, G5623 if G1437 he shall gain G2770 the whole G3650 world, G2889 and G1161 lose G2210 his own G846 soul? G5590 or G2228 what G5101 shall a man G444 give G1325 in exchange G465 for his G846 soul? G5590
Then G1161 Jesus G2424 beholding G1689 him G846 loved G25 him, G846 and G2532 said G2036 unto him, G846 One thing G1520 thou G4671 lackest: G5302 go thy way, G5217 sell G4453 whatsoever G3745 thou hast, G2192 and G2532 give G1325 to the poor, G4434 and G2532 thou shalt have G2192 treasure G2344 in G1722 heaven: G3772 and G2532 come, G1204 take up G142 the cross, G4716 and follow G190 me. G3427
And G2532 he bearing G941 his G846 cross G4716 went forth G1831 into G1519 a place G5117 called G3004 the place of a skull, G2898 which G3739 is called G3004 in the Hebrew G1447 Golgotha: G1115

Commentary on Luke 14 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 14
In this chapter we have,
Luk 14:1-6
In this passage of story we find,
Luk 14:7-14
Our Lord Jesus here sets us an example of profitable edifying discourse at our tables, when we are in company with our friends. We find that when he had none but his disciples, who were his own family, with him at his table, his discourse with them was good, and to the use of edifying; and not only so, but when he was in company with strangers, nay, with enemies that watched him, he took occasion to reprove what he saw amiss in them, and to instruct them. Though the wicked were before him, he did not keep silence from good (as David did, Ps. 39:1, 2), for, notwithstanding the provocation given him, he had not his heart hot within him, nor was his spirit stirred. We must not only not allow any corrupt communication at our tables, such as that of the hypocritical mockers at feasts, but we must go beyond common harmless talk, and should take occasion from God's goodness to us at our tables to speak well of him, and learn to spiritualize common things. The lips of the righteous should then feed many. Our Lord Jesus was among persons of quality, yet, as one that had not respect of persons,
Luk 14:15-24
Here is another discourse of our Saviour's, in which he spiritualizes the feast he was invited to, which is another way of keeping up good discourse in the midst of common actions.
Luk 14:25-35
See how Christ in his doctrine suited himself to those to whom he spoke, and gave every one his portion of meat. To Pharisees he preached humility and charity. He is in these verses directing his discourse to the multitudes that crowded after him, and seemed zealous in following him; and his exhortation to them is to understand the terms of discipleship, before they undertook the profession of it, and to consider what they did. See here,
This parable is another way applicable, and may be taken as designed to teach us to begin speedily to be religious, rather than to begin cautiously; and may mean the same with Mt. 5:25, Agree with thine adversary quickly. Note,
