15. Luke 14:26

It's correct - King James' Version: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2014&version=KJV

A few other versions explain it as 'must hate everyone else by comparison' or 'are not ready to abandon', which makes a little sense in the context of the chapter. http://bible.cc/luke/14-26.htm It's still harsh, though.
