Luke 14:31
King James VersionSource notes
“Or 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?”
Context
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?
32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
33So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34Salt good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
