Luke 14:31 in Context — Luke 14
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?
31 Ou quel roi, s’il va faire la guerre à un autre roi, ne s’assied d’abord pour examiner s’il peut, avec dix mille hommes, marcher à la rencontre de celui qui vient l’attaquer avec vingt mille?
32 S’il ne le peut, tandis que cet autre roi est encore loin, il lui envoie une ambassade pour demander la paix.
33 Ainsi donc, quiconque d’entre vous ne renonce pas à tout ce qu’il possède ne peut être mon disciple.
