Bible verse
Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;
Matthew 10:37 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 10.
33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
34 Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37 Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;
38 and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
40 He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.
41 Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
