The Parable of the Tower
The parable of the tower (Luke 14.28-30), transmitted only by Luke, is part of a discourse of Jesus on the cost of discipleship. Through the image of a builder who calculates his resources before building, Jesus invites his disciples to a considered, clear-sighted and persevering commitment, warning against a superficial or emotional faith without spiritual maturity.

The Parable of the Unjust Judge
The article examines the parable of the unjust judge (Luke 18,1-8), centered on perseverance in prayer and the expectation of the Kingdom. It highlights Luke's unique narrative structure, which gathers parables together to deepen his theology of faith and divine justice.
Luke 18.1-8 (King James Version) :And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

Attempted arrest
The article examines the attempt by the Jewish religious authorities to arrest Jesus, according to John 10.31-39. Accused of blasphemy for his divine claims, Jesus defends his works as proof of his divine mission. He cites Scripture to demonstrate the legitimacy of his role, finally escaping arrest because his hour had not yet come.
Leviticus 24.16 (King James Version) :And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

The event highlights the tension between human understanding and the prophecies. Jesus announces his imminent death in answering Salome, revealing the spiritual values of the kingdom of God.
Matthew 20.20-28 (King James Version) :Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -
