“ That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”
– Matt: 5:45
I am no preacher, but, am a sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, while reading Bible, the following verses were given in the context of “Disciple, Christian” from The Holy Bible-KJV – New Testament and only from the Gospel according to St. Luke and ” ‘Woes’ from the mouth of Lord Jesus” from the Gospel according to St. Matthew. It is amazing !

and wife, and children,
and brethren, and sisters, yea,
and his own life also,
he cannot be my disciple.

and come after me,
cannot be my disciple.
14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower,
sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost,
whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it? ]
14:29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation,
and is not able to finish [it,]
all that behold [it] begin to mock him,
14:30 Saying, This man began to build,
and was not able to finish.
14:31 Or what king, going to make war against another king,
sitteth not down first, and consulteth
whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him
that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
14:32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off,
he sendeth an ambassage,
and desireth conditions of peace.
14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you
that forsaketh not all that he hath,
he cannot be my disciple.
14:34 Salt [is] good:
but if the salt have lost his savour,

[but] men cast it out.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Act-11:25. Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus,
for to seek Saul:
Act-11:26 And when he had found him,
he brought him unto Antioch.

that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church,
and taught much people.
And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Act-26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul,
Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
1Pe-4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian,
let him not be ashamed;
but let him glorify God on this behalf.
Matt 23:13. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men:
for ye neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer:
therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte,
and when he is made,
ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say,
Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing;
but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17. Ye fools and blind:
for whether is greater, the gold,
or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18. And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar,
it is nothing;
but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it,
he is guilty.
19. Ye fools and blind:
for whether is greater, the gift,
or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20. Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar,
sweareth by it,
and by all things thereon.
21. And whoso shall swear by the temple,
sweareth by it,
and by him that dwelleth therein.
22. And he that shall swear by heaven,
sweareth by the throne of God,
and by him that sitteth thereon.
23. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin,
and have omitted the weightier matters of the law,
judgment, mercy, and faith:
these ought ye to have done,
and not to leave the other undone.
24. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter,
but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26. Thou blind Pharisee,
cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter,
that the outside of them may be clean also.
27. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye are like unto whited sepulchres,
which indeed appear beautiful outward,
but are within full of dead men’s bones,
and of all uncleanness.
28. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men,
but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
because ye build the tombs of the prophets,
and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30. And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers,
we would not have been partakers with them
in the blood of the prophets.
31. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves,
that ye are the children of them
which killed the prophets.
32. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers,
how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34. Wherefore, behold,
I send unto you prophets,
and wise men,
and scribes:
and some of them ye shall kill and crucify;
and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues,
and persecute them from city to city:
35. That upon you may come
all the righteous blood
shed upon the earth,
from the blood of righteous Abel
unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias,
whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36. Verily I say unto you,
All these things shall come upon this generation.
