Luke 14:32

The Cost Of Discipleship

³¹ Or what king, marching to encounter another king in war, does not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet the one who is advancing against him with twenty thousand? ³² If not, while the other is still a long way off, he sends messengers and sues for peace. ³³ Just as no one of you who does not detach himself from all that belongs to him can be a disciple of mine.
