La discipleship

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
