Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links to the negated verb ou misei {οὐ μισεῖ | ou mi-seî} ‘does not hate’, which employs a Semitic comparative idiom to express preferential allegiance rather than literal animosity.
The apodosis begins with ou dynatai {οὐ δύναται | ou dú-na-tai} ‘is not able’, followed by the infinitive einai {εἶναί | eî-naí} ‘to be’ and the genitival noun phrase mou mathetes {μου μαθητής | mou ma-thē-tḗs} ‘of Me disciple’, where the genitive mou indicates possession. The structure underscores that unconditional commitment to Jesus demands radical reprioritization of family ties and self.

“to see, behold”
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 .
