What Must We do?  Counting the cost:

Sometimes persecution may come from those we do not expect:

...and a man's enemies will be the members of his household. "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. Matthew 10:36-37 (NAS)

"If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:26-27 (NAS)

Question:

According to Matthew 10:36-37 and Luke 14:26-27, who did Jesus say might become our enemy when we become His disciples?
