ગુજરાતીલૂક ૧૪:૨૯
રખેને કદાચ પાયો નાખ્યા પછી તે પૂરો કરી શકે નહિ; ત્યારે જે જુએ તેઓ સર્વ તેની મશ્કરી કરવા લાગે,
हिन्दीलूका १४:२९
कहीं ऐसा न हो, कि जब नींव डालकर तैयार न कर सके, तो सब देखनेवाले यह कहकर उसका उपहास करेंगे,

In context

27Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.

28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

29Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

30saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’

31Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
