The words of Jesus at Luke 14:27 (NW) show its necessity, stating: "Whoever is not carrying his torture stake and coming after me cannot be my disciple."
(Luka 13:24) Yesu u tshame a ku: "Un'wana ni un'wana loyi a nga yi rhwaliki mhandzi yakwe ya nxaniso a ndzi landzela a nge vi mudyondzisiwa wa mina."
