^27 (A)Whoever does not ^(B)bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

²⁸ For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not ^(A)first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?

³¹ Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not ^(A)sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

^33 (A)So therefore, any one of you who ^(B)does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
