Luke 14:30-32

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

³⁰ saying that ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish it out!’ ³¹ Or what king going to engage another king in battle will not, having sat-down first, deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet^[a] the one coming against him with twenty thousand? ³² Otherwise indeed, the one coming still being far away— the king, having sent-forth a delegation, asks the things for peace.
