Lucas 14:30 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:30

Saying, this man began to build
He set out well, he promised great things, and made a considerable bluster and stir, as if he would carry things at once to a very high pitch:

and was not able to finish;
it was all noise and talk, and nothing else: falling off from a profession of religion, exposes men to contempt and scorn; such are not only cast out of churches with disgrace, but are despised by men, by wicked men; and are a reproach, a proverb, and a taunt in all places; and even are mocked by devils too.

Lucas 14:30 In-Context

28 Pois qual de vós, querendo edificar uma torre, não se senta primeiro a calcular as despesas, para ver se tem com que a acabar?
29 Para não acontecer que, depois de haver posto os alicerces, e não a podendo acabar, todos os que a virem comecem a zombar dele,
30 dizendo: Este homem começou a edificar e não pode acabar.
31 Ou qual é o rei que, indo entrar em guerra contra outro rei, não se senta primeiro a consultar se com dez mil pode sair ao encontro do que vem contra ele com vinte mil?
32 No caso contrário, enquanto o outro ainda está longe, manda embaixadores, e pede condições de paz.
