{Renounceth not} (ouk apotassetai). Old Greek word to set
apart as in a military camp, then in the middle voice to separate
oneself from, say good-bye to ( Lu 9:61 ), to renounce, forsake,
as here. {All that he hath} (pasin tois heautou huparchousin).
Dative case, says good-bye to all his property, "all his own
belongings" (neuter plural participle used as substantive) as
named in verse 26 . This verse gives the principle in the two
parables of the rash builder and of the rash king. The minor
details do not matter. The spirit of self-sacrifice is the point.
