You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also... For whoever desires to save his life will lose it but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it... Whoever loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; whoever loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me and whoever does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me... (John 8:19; Matthew 16:25; Matthew 10:36-37)
