Exegesis
The core verbal idea of this hina-clause is the aorist middle subjunctive arxontai {ἄρξωνται | ár-xōn-tai} ‘may begin’, whose subject is the articular participial phrase pantes hoi theorountes {πάντες οἱ θεωροῦντες | pán-tes hoi the-ō-roûn-tes} ‘all those who see’.
In context — Luke 14:29
Lest after someone lays a foundation and is unable to finish it, all who see it begin to mock him.
