And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, he cannot be my disciple. For what man of you designing to erect a tower, doth not first sitting down calculate the expence, if he have sufficient to complete the work? lest haply, after having laid the foundation, and being unable to finish it, all who look upon it begin to ridicule him, read more.
saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going forth to encounter another king in battle, doth not sit down first, and consult if he is able with ten thousand men to meet him who is coming against him with twenty thousand? and if he be not, whilst he is still at a distance, he sendeth an embassy, and desires terms of peace. So then, every one of you who will not part with all his possessions, cannot be my disciple.
