File Siena mura citt 2.jpg thumb Facade of the ambitious extension to Siena Cathedral . Construction was abandoned in 1348. Counting the cost is a name often given to a pair of Parables of Jesus parables told by Jesus in the New Testament , and found in Gospel of Luke Luke niv Luke 14 28 33 14 28 33 . The name comes from the phrase count the cost which occurs in the King James Version of the passage, as well as some other versions. Narrative The two parables are as follows quotation For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14 28 33, King James Version Interpretation Joel B.
