This is Jesus telling those who would follow Him about the level of commitment it would take to follow Him. What is interesting here is that we are told in the gospel to love our enemies and now we are told to hate who we love. This is classical Jesus language for saying listen closely and learn … your not understanding the idea of being a good follower, your not getting what a disciples is.
