If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
All Commentaries on Luke 14:26 Go To Luke 14
Clement Of Alexandria
AD 215
"Qui autem, inquiunt, non oderit patrem, vel matrem, vel uxorem, vel filios, non potest meus esse discipulus.".
He knows accurately the declaration, "Unless ye hate father and mother, and besides your own life, and unless ye bear the sign.
But let neither this trouble you, nor the still harder saying delivered in another place in the words, "Whoso hateth not father, and mother, and children, and his own life besides, cannot be My disciple."
