Luke 14:28
King James Version
“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have to finish”
Context
25And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26If any come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have to finish
29Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish all that behold begin to mock him,
30Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
