29 Porque después que haya puesto el fundamento, y no pueda acabarla, todos los que [lo] vieren, no comiencen á hacer burla de él,
30 Diciendo: Este hombre comenzó á edificar, y no pudo acabar.
31 ¿O cuál rey, habiendo de ir á hacer guerra contra otro rey, sentándose primero no consulta si puede salir al encuentro con diez mil al que viene contra él con veinte mil?
32 De otra manera, cuando aun el otro está lejos, le ruega por la paz, enviándo[le] embajada.
33 Así pues, cualquiera de vosotros que no renuncia á todas las cosas que posee, no puede ser mi discípulo.
