Exegesis
The main clause ou dynatai einai mou mathētēs {οὐ δύναται εἶναί μου μαθητής | ou dý-na-tai eî-naí mou math-ē-tḗs} employs the modal dynatai with the infinitive einai to assert absolute inability, and the genitive mou marks personal relation to Jesus. The conditional force of “whoever does not…cannot…” emphasizes that total surrender of possessions is an indispensable criterion for discipleship.
