Deuteronomy 17:2-7
17:2 Suppose a man or woman is discovered among you – in one of your villages
that the
Lord your God is giving you – who sins before the Lord your God
and breaks his covenant
17:3 by serving other gods and worshiping them – the sun,
moon, or any other heavenly bodies which I have not permitted you to worship.
17:4 When it is reported to you and you hear about it, you must investigate carefully. If it is indeed true that such a disgraceful thing
is being done in Israel,
17:5 you must bring to your city gates
that man or woman who has done this wicked thing – that very man or woman – and you must stone that person to death.
17:6 At the testimony of two or three witnesses they must be executed. They cannot be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.
17:7 The witnesses
must be first to begin the execution, and then all the people
are to join in afterward. In this way you will purge evil from among you.
Matthew 10:37
10:37 “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Luke 14:26
14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate
his own father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, and even his own life,
he cannot be my disciple.
