Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links bastazei with erchetai {ἔρχεται | ÉR-che-tai} ‘comes,’ the latter joined to opisō mou {ὀπίσω μου | o-PÍ-sō mou} ‘behind me,’ creating the metaphor of following Christ’s path.
In context — Luke 14:27
Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after Me is not able to be My disciple.
