Jesus' Teaching about Discipleship
Luke 9:59 He said to another man, "Follow me." But the man
replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." 60 Jesus said
to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and
proclaim the kingdom of God."

Jesus' Teaching about Discipleship
Luke 14:26 If anyone comes to me and does not hate his
father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and
sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple.
27 And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me
cannot be my disciple.

Luke 9:61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord;
but first let me go back and say good-by to my
family." 62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his
hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in
the kingdom of God."

Jesus' Teaching about Discipleship
Matt 11:28: Come to me, all you who are weary and
burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon
you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in
heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke
is easy and my burden is light."

Jesus' Teaching about Discipleship
Luke 14:28 Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he
not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough
money to complete it? 29 For if he lays the foundation and is
not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, 30
saying, "This fellow began to build and was not able to
finish." 31 Or suppose a king is about to go to war against
another king. Will he not first sit down and consider whether he
is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming
against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will
send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will
ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, any of you who
does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer and Faith
Luke 11:2 He said to them, "When you pray, say: 'Father,
may your name be made holy, may your kingdom come. 3
Give us each day our daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins, for
we ourselves also forgive all who are indebted to us. And
lead us not into trial.'"

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer and Faith
Mark 11:20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig
tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to
Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!" 22
"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. 23 I tell you the truth, if
anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,'
and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will
happen, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever
you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will
be yours.

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer and Faith
Matthew 7:7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will
find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For
everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him
who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 Which of you, if his
son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for
a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are
evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much
more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who
ask him!

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer and Faith
Luke 17:5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our
faith!" 6 He replied, "If you have faith as small as a
mustard seed, you can say to this sycamore tree, 'Be
uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you."

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer and Faith
Luke11:5 Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a
friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend
me three loaves of bread, 6 because a friend of mine on a
journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before
him.' 7 "Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The
door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I
can't get up and give you anything.' 8 I tell you, though he will
not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet
because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as
much as he needs.
Other Teaching
Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer and Faith
Luke 18:1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them
that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: "In a
certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor
cared about men. 3 And there was a widow in that town who
kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my
adversary.' 4 "For some time he refused. But finally he said to
himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 5 yet
because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she
gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her
coming!'" 6 And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge
says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen
ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting
them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and
quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find
faith on the earth?"

Luke 6:41 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your
brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the
speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in
your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your
eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from
your brother's eye.

Luke 10:29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And
who is my neighbor?" 30 In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down
from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They
stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half
dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when
he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite,
when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other
side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was;
and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and
bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on
his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next
day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look
after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra
expense you may have.' 36 "Which of these three do you think was a
neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" 37 The expert
in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go
and do likewise."

your heart will be also.

Luke 12:16: And he told them this parable: "The ground of a
certain rich man produced a good crop. 17 He thought to
himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my
crops.' 18 "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down
my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my
grain and my goods. 19 And I'll say to myself, "You have
plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy;
eat, drink and be merry."' 20 "But God said to him, 'You fool!
This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who
will get what you have prepared for yourself?' 21 "This is how
it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not
rich toward God."

Luke 17:7: Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or
looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he
comes in from the field, "Come along now and sit down to
eat"? 8 Would he not rather say, "Prepare my supper, get
yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that
you may eat and drink"? 9 Would he thank the servant
because he did what he was told to do? 10 So you also, when
you have done everything you were told to do, should say,
"We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty."

23 For this reason the Kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a king who wished
to settle accounts with his servants. 24 When he had begun to settle them, one who
owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. 25 But since he did not have the
means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold, along with his wife and children
and all that he had, and repayment to be made. 26 So the servant fell to the ground
and prostrated himself before him, saying, "Have patience with me and I will repay
you everything." 27 And the lord of that servant felt compassion and released him
and forgave him the debt. 28 But that servant went out and found one of his fellow
servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began to choke
him, saying, "Pay back what you owe." 29 So his fellow servant fell to the ground and
began to plead with him, saying, "Have patience with me and I will repay you." 30 But
he was unwilling and went and threw him in prison until he should pay back what was
owed. 31 So when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply
grieved and came and reported to their lord all that had happened. 32 Then
summoning him, his lord said to him, "You wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt
because you pleaded with me. 33 Should you not also have had mercy on your
fellow servant, in the same way that I had mercy on you?" 34 And his lord, moved
with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed
him. 35 My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not
forgive his brother from your heart.
