SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:32

De otra manera, cuando an el otro est lejos, le ruega por la paz, envindole embajada.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 32. Or else, while the other is a great way off , etc.] Upon his march, with resolution to come up and give battle, though as yet at a distance: he sendeth an ambassage ; or men, with an embassy to him: and desireth conditions of peace ; greatly to his disadvantage and reproach: so to give out, and leave off fighting with sin, Satan, and the world, and make peace with them, is shameful and scandalous; but on the other hand, such who have engaged in this war, should pursue it with rigour and courage; considering that God is on their side; that Christ is the captain of their salvation; that the Spirit of God that is in them, is greater than he that is in the world; that angels encamp around them; that it is a good cause they are engaged in; that they have good weapons, the whole armour of God provided for them; are sure of victory, and shall at last enjoy the crown of life, righteousness and glory.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 25-35 - Though the disciples of Christ are not all crucified, yet they all bea their cross, and must bear it in the way of duty. Jesus bids them coun upon it, and then consider of it. Our Saviour explains this by tw similitudes; the former showing that we must consider the expenses of our religion; the latter, that we must consider the perils of it. Sin down and count the cost; consider it will cost the mortifying of sin even the most beloved lusts. The proudest and most daring sinner cannot stand against God, for who knows the power of his anger? It is ou interest to seek peace with him, and we need not send to ask condition of peace, they are offered to us, and are highly to our advantage. I some way a disciple of Christ will be put to the trial. May we seek to be disciples indeed, and be careful not to grow slack in ou profession, or afraid of the cross; that we may be the good salt of the earth, to season those around us with the savour of Christ __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies

32. Asketh (erwta). On a footing of equality: king treating with king. See on ch. xi. 9.

Conditions of peace (ta prov eirhnhn). Lit., things looking toward peace: preliminaries. Compare Rom. xiv. 19, things which make for peace (ta thv eijrhnhv, the things of peace).

Robertson's NT Word Studies

14:32 {Or else} (ei de mege). Same idiom in #5:36. Luke is fond of this formula. {An ambassage} (presbeian). Old and common word for the office of ambassador, composed of old men (presbeis) like Japanese Elder Statesmen who are supposed to possess wisdom. In the N.T. only here and #Lu 19:14. {Asketh conditions of peace} (erwtai pros eirenen). The use of erwtaw in this sense of beg or petition is common in the papyri and _Koin_ generally. The original use of asking a question survives also. The text is uncertain concerning pros eirenen which means with erwtaw, to ask negotiations for peace. In B we have eis instead of pros like verse #28. Most MSS. have ta before pros or eis, but not in Aleph and B. It is possible that the ta was omitted because of preceding tai (homoeoteleuton), but the sense is the same. See #Ro 14:19 ta tes eirenes, the things of peace, which concern or look towards peace, the preliminaries of peace.
