Luke 14:26a ... "If someone comes before me and not does-hate the father of-himself, ..."

Verse 26 has 8 phrases containing 37 dialog words. The 1st phrase has these 11 dialog words ... Ei tis erxetai pros me kai ou misei ton patera eautou ("If someone comes before me and not does-hate the father of-himself, ...").

Jesus now meets "tis" (someone), the 1st of the 4 green-eyed men in the crowd from verse 25. The diagram shows the 11 words are top down. The word "if" is the first part of an "if-then" statement. The "then" part is understood to make the statement be true. So, if someone comes before Jesus and "not does hate the father" it means "someone loves the father." Since Jesus is the one asking, it really means "Then someone loves the father of himself more than me." And if that is the way they think, then the heads of the green-eyed father, like his son, are possessed by black equilateral triangles (Unclean Spirits) because they love their family members more than they love Jesus. The word "hate" in this story is a code word meaning "loves less." If someone comes before Jesus and "not does love less" ton patera eautou (the father of himself), it means means the opposite, someone loves the father more than Jesus.
