For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what is needed to complete it;

Otherwise, if he lays a foundation and can't finish the building, everyone who watches will begin to ridicule him

But he, looking on them, said, Is it not in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has become the chief stone of the building?
