"If someone comes before me and not does-hate the father of-himself, and the mother, and the wife, and the children, and the brothers, and the sisters, still yet also the soul of-himself, not is-he-able to-be of-me a-disciple."
The 1st - 8th phrases have these 37 dialog words ... Ei tis erxetai pros me kai ou misei ton patera eautou, kai ten metera, kai ten gunaika, kai ta tekna, kai tous adelfous, kai tas adelfas, eti te kai ten psuxen eautou, ou dunatai einai mou mathētēs ("If someone comes before me and not does-hate the father of-himself, and the mother, and the wife, and the children, and the brothers, and the sisters, still yet also the soul of-himself, not is-he-able to-be of-me a-disciple."). The 37 dialog words are top down. The 37 words said by Jesus fill the hexagram. This diagram seems to be an example of how the gospel narrator (author) composed the number of words in a story to fill the hexagram. Jesus said the man had to "hate his soul" (meaning love Jesus more than he loved his soul) in order to be his disciple. The soul of all mankind has a sin nature, which is like an open door for unclean spirits To be a disciple of Jesus, one has to hate the original sin nature everyone is born with, even in the souls of your own family. If you can hate the sin, and love the person, but love Jesus even more than the person, then you are able to be a disciple of Jesus. The next diagram will take a look at this green-eyed man, his family, and the unclean spirits living inside their souls. Luke 14:26d < Verses > Luke 14:26f |
