Luke 14:27-32 And whoever lifts not his cross, and comes after me, cannot be my disciple.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁷ And whoever lifts not his cross, and comes after me, cannot be my disciple. ²⁸ For which of you, wishing to build a tower, not first, having sat down, calculates the expense, if he have things for completion? ²⁹ That lest, having set the foundation, and not able to finish, all seeing begin to mock him, ³⁰ Saying, That this man began to build, and was not able to finish. ³¹ Or what king, going to fight with another king in war, not, having sat down first, consults, if he be able with ten thousand to meet him coming with twenty thousand against him? ³² And if he, yet being far off, having sent an embassy, asks things for peace.
