Luke 14:30

Context
14:30 They will say, 1  ‘This man 2  began to build and was not able to finish!’ 3 

1 tn Grk “make fun of him, saying.”

2 sn The phrase this man is often used in Luke in a derogatory sense; see “this one” and expressions like it in Luke 5:21; 7:39; 13:32; 23:4, 14, 22, 35.

3 sn The failure to finish the building project leads to embarrassment (in a culture where avoiding public shame was extremely important). The half completed tower testified to poor preparation and planning.
