The Call of Abram

12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household^(A) to the land^(B) I will show you.^(C)

³ ‘Leave your country and your people,’ God said, ‘and go to the land I will show you.’^[a](A)

²⁶ “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.^(A)

²⁷ And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.^(A)

³³ In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.^(A)
