33 In the same way, everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.(A)
The Simile of Salt.[a]
Read full chapterFootnotes
- 14:34–35 The simile of salt follows the sayings of Jesus that demanded of the disciple total dedication and detachment from family and possessions and illustrates the condition of one who does not display this total commitment. The halfhearted disciple is like salt that cannot serve its intended purpose. See the simile of salt in Mt 5:13 and the note there.
