This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 14:28. Πύργον) a strong-hold [‘tower’].-καθίσας, having sat down) so as to give himself time for making a summary calculation of his means and resources. So too in Luk 14:31 [ψηφίζει, calculates). This calculation of the expenses of building, or a consultation on a question of war, are things of no inconsiderable moment. But do thou see to it, whether thou hast ever bestowed more careful deliberation on the (infinitely more momentous) question of eternal salvation or else misery. Easy is the descent to hell!-V. g.]
