Luke 14:7-21

7And he spake a parableG3850 unto those that were bidden, when he marked howG4459 they chose out the chief seats; sayingG3004 unto them, 8WhenG3752 thou art bidden of any man to a marriageG1062 feastG1062, sit not down in the chief seat; lestG3361 haply a more honorable man than thou beG1510 bidden of him, 9and he that bade thee and him shall comeG2064 and sayG3004 to thee, GiveG1325 this manG3778 placeG5117; and then thou shalt beginG757 with shameG152 to take the lowest placeG5117. 10But whenG3752 thou art bidden, goG4198 and sit down in the lowest placeG5117; that whenG3752 he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may sayG3004 to thee, FriendG5384, goG4198 up higher: thenG5119 shalt thou have gloryG1391 in the presenceG1799 of all that sit at meat with thee. 11For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbledG5013; and he that humbleth himself shall be exaltedG5312.

12And he saidG3004 to him alsoG2532 that had bidden him, WhenG3752 thou makest a dinner or a supperG1173, callG2564 not thy friendsG5384, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor richG4145 neighbors; lestG3361 haply they alsoG2532 bid thee again, and a recompense be madeG4160 thee. 13But whenG3752 thou makest a feast, bid the poorG4434, the maimed, the lameG5560, the blindG5185: 14and thou shalt beG1510 blessed; because they have not wherewith to recompense thee: for thou shalt beG1510 recompensed in the resurrectionG386 of the justG1342.

15And when oneG5100 of them that sat at meat with him heardG191 these thingsG3778, he saidG3004 unto him, Blessed is he that shall eatG2068 breadG740 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 16But he saidG3004 unto him, A certainG5100 manG444 madeG4160 a greatG3173 supperG1173; and he bade manyG4183: 17and he sentG649 forthG649 his servantG1401 at supperG1173 timeG5610 to sayG3004 to them that wereG1510 bidden, ComeG2064; for all things areG1510 now readyG2092. 18And they all with oneG1520 consent beganG757 to make excuse. The firstG4413 saidG3004 unto him, I have boughtG59 a fieldG68, and I must needs goG1831 out and seeG3708 it; I pray thee have me excused. 19And another saidG3004, I have boughtG59 fiveG4002 yoke of oxenG1016, and I goG4198 to prove them; I pray thee have me excused. 20And another saidG3004, I have marriedG1060 a wifeG1135, and therefore I cannot comeG2064. 21And the servantG1401 cameG1831, and toldG3004 his lordG2962 these thingsG3778. Then the masterG2962 of the houseG3617 being angryG3710 saidG3004 to his servantG1401, GoG1831 out quickly into the streetsG4505 and lanes of the cityG4172, and bringG1521 in hither the poorG4434 and maimed and blindG5185 and lameG5560.
