Luke 14:28 in Context — Luke 14
26 Si quelqu’un vient à moi, et s’il ne hait pas son père, sa mère, sa femme, ses enfants, ses frères, et ses sœurs, et même sa propre vie, il ne peut être mon disciple.
27 Et quiconque ne porte pas sa croix, et ne me suit pas, ne peut être mon disciple.
28 Car, lequel de vous, s’il veut bâtir une tour, ne s’assied d’abord pour calculer la dépense et voir s’il a de quoi la terminer,
29 de peur qu’après avoir posé les fondements, il ne puisse l’achever, et que tous ceux qui le verront ne se mettent à le railler,
30 en disant: Cet homme a commencé à bâtir, et il n’a pu achever?
