Luke 14:28

Context
14:28 For which of you, wanting to build a tower, doesn’t sit down 1  first and compute the cost 2  to see if he has enough money to complete it?

1 tn The participle καθίσας (kaqisas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

2 tn The first illustration involves checking to see if enough funds exist to build a watchtower. Both ψηφίζω (yhfizw, “compute”) and δαπάνη (dapanh, “cost”) are economic terms.
