Luke 14:31-33
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
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. 33 So therefore, any of you who is not saying-goodbye[b] to all his possessions cannot be My disciple.

Luke 14:31-33
New International Version
31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.(A)
