14:32If he cannot succeed,102 he will send a representative103 while the other is still a long way off and ask for terms of peace.104
Footnotes
- 102 Grk “And if not.” Here δέ (de) has not been translated; “succeed” is implied and has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
- 103 Grk “a messenger.”
- 104 This image is slightly different from the former one about the tower (vv. 28–30). The first part of the illustration (sit down first and determine) deals with preparation. The second part of the illustration (ask for terms of peace) has to do with recognizing who is stronger. This could well suggest thinking about what refusing the “stronger one” (God) might mean, and thus constitutes a warning. Achieving peace with God, the more powerful king, is the point of the illustration.
