Context of Luke 14:25

23The master spoke to his servant again. “Go to the roads and fields outside the town, and look for people there. Command them all to come here, so that my house will be full. 24But I tell you this. None of the people that I asked at the beginning will eat any of my food.” ’ Crowds of many people were travelling with Jesus on his journey. So he turned and said to them, 26‘If someone wants to obey me, he must live like this: He must love me more than he loves his own father and mother. He must love me more than he loves his wife and his children. He must love me more than he loves his brothers and his sisters. He must even love me more than he loves himself. If he does not do that, he cannot be one of my disciples. 27He must live like a person that carries his own cross to go and die. If he is not ready to die for me, he cannot be one of my disciples.
