The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant to go out quickly into the streets and alley of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’
The servant said ‘ what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’

In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.”
