Luke 14:24-33
24For I tellG3004 you, noneG3762 of thoseG1565 menG435 who were invitedG2564 shall tasteG1089 of my dinnerG1173.’”
25NowG1161 1largeG4183 crowdsG3793 were goingG4848 alongG4848 with Him; and He turnedG4762 and saidG3004 to them, 26“2IfG1487 anyoneG5100 comesG2064 to Me, and does not 3hateG3404 his own fatherG3962 and motherG3384 and wifeG1135 and childrenG5043 and brothersG80 and sistersG79, yesG2089, and evenG2532 his ownG1438 lifeG5590, he cannotG1410G3756 be My discipleG3101. 27WhoeverG3748 does not 4carryG941 his ownG1438 crossG4716 and comeG2064 afterG3694 Me cannotG1410G3756 be My discipleG3101. 28For whichG5101 one of you, when he wantsG2309 to buildG3618 a towerG4444, does not firstG4413 sitG2523 downG2523 and calculateG5585 the costG1160 to see ifG1487 he hasG2192 enough to completeG535 it? 29OtherwiseG2443G3361, whenG4218 he has laidG5087 a foundationG2310 and is not ableG2480 to finishG1615, allG3956 who observeG2334 it beginG757 to ridiculeG1702 him, 30sayingG3004, ‘ThisG3778 manG444 beganG757 to buildG3618 and was not ableG2480 to finishG1615.’ 31OrG2228 whatG5101 kingG935, when he setsG4198 out to meetG4820 anotherG2087 kingG935 in battleG4171, will not firstG4413 sitG2523 downG2523 and 5considerG1011 whetherG1487 he is strongG1415 enoughG1415 with tenG1176 thousandG5505 men to encounterG5221 the one comingG2064 againstG1909 him with twentyG1501 thousandG5505? 32OrG1161 elseG1490, while the otherG846 is stillG2089 farG4206 awayG4206, he sendsG649 6a delegationG4242 and asksG2065 for termsG4314 of peaceG1515. 33SoG3779 thenG3767, noneG3956G3756 of you canG1410 be My discipleG3101 whoG3739 7does not giveG657 up allG3956 his ownG1438 possessionsG5225.
