Luke 14:24
22 ‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
23 So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.
For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”
25 Large crowds were now traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,
26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
