Exegesis
The indefinite pronoun tis {τις | tis} serves as the subject of the present middle verb erchetai {ἔρχεται | ér-khe-tai} ‘comes’, with the prepositional phrase pros me {πρός με | prós me} ‘to Me’ indicating directional motion toward Jesus.
In context — Luke 14:26
If someone draws near to Me yet does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his very life—he cannot be My disciple .
