LU-14:1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one
of the chief
Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
LU-14:2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which
had the dropsy.
LU-14:3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and
Pharisees, saying, Is
it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
LU-14:4 And they held their peace. And he took [him], and
healed him, and let
him go;
LU-14:5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an
ass or an ox
fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the
sabbath day?
LU-14:6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
LU-14:7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden,
when he marked
how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
LU-14:8 When thou art bidden of any [man] to a wedding, sit not
down in the
highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of
him;
LU-14:9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee,
Give this man
place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
LU-14:10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the
lowest room; that
when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go
up higher: then
shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat
with thee.
LU-14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he
that humbleth
himself shall be exalted.
LU-14:12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou
makest a dinner or
a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy
kinsmen, nor
[thy] rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a
recompense be made
thee.
LU-14:13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the
maimed, the lame,
the blind:
LU-14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense
thee: for thou
shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
LU-14:15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard
these things, he
said unto him, Blessed [is] he that shall eat bread in the
kingdom of God.
LU-14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great
supper, and bade
many:
LU-14:17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them
that were bidden,
Come; for all things are now ready.
LU-14:18 And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse.
The first said
unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go
and see it: I
pray thee have me excused.
LU-14:19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and
I go to prove
them: I pray thee have me excused.
LU-14:20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore
I cannot come.
LU-14:21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things.
Then the
master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out
quickly into the
streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and
the maimed,
and the halt, and the blind.
LU-14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast
commanded, and
yet there is room.
LU-14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the
highways and
hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be
filled.
LU-14:24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were
bidden shall
taste of my supper.
LU-14:25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he
turned, and said
unto them,
LU-14:26 If any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and
mother, and
wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own
life also, he
cannot be my disciple.
LU-14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after
me, cannot be
my disciple.
LU-14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth
not down first,
and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish
[it]?
LU-14:29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is
not able to
finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him,
LU-14:30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to
finish.
LU-14:31 Or what king, going to make war against another king,
sitteth not
down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand
to meet him
that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
LU-14:32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he
sendeth an
ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
LU-14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not
all that he
hath, he cannot be my disciple.
LU-14:34 Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall
it be seasoned?
LU-14:35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the
dunghill; [but] men
cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
