“... Luke derives vv. 26-27 from “Q” (see p. 79). Its Matthean parallel is found in 10:37-38, where it forms part of the mission discourse to the “twelve disciples.” The two sayings about the hating of parents and relatives and the carrying of one's cross appear in the same order in Matthew and Luke, despite their different wording; they were evidently united in “Q.” The Gospel of Thomas likewise presents a form of these two sayings joined together in § [...], but it also has a form of the first one alone in § 101. [...] In the Gospel of Thomas the form of these sayings is as follows: (§ 55) “Jesus said, ‘Whoever hates not his father and his mother cannot become my disciple, and (whoever) hates (not) his brothers and his sisters and takes (not) up his cross, as I do, shall not be worthy of me.’ ”(§ 101) “ ‘Whoever hates [no]t his fath[er] and his mother, as I (do), cannot become my d[iscipl]e; and whoever loves [not] his fa[ther a]nd his mother, as I (do), shall not become my d[isciple]. For my mother [ ], but [my] true [mother] gave me life.’ ” The first part of logion § 55 is closer to Matthew in its parallelism, but its ending follows Luke, as does its use of the vb. “hate.” [...] The first part of logion § 101 repeats § 55; its second part is a free composition modeled on the first and making use of gnostic ideas. ...”
