For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not down first, and counts the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?
All Commentaries on Luke 14:28 Go To Luke 14
Bede
AD 735
But there is a difference between renouncing all things and leaving all things. For it is the way of few perfect men to leave all things, that is, to cast behind them the cares of the world, but it is the part of all the faithful to renounce all things, that is, so to hold the things of' the world as by them not to be held in the world.
