Luke 14:27-33

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[27] Whoever doesn't bear his own cross, and come after me, can't be my disciple. [28] For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn't first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it? [29] Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him, [30] saying, 'This man began to build, and wasn't able to finish.' [31] Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? [32] Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace. [33] So therefore whoever of you who doesn't renounce all that he has, he can't be my disciple.
