Luke 14

1And it cameG2064 to passG1096, as he went into the houseG3624 of oneG5100 of the rulersG758, [who wasG1510] of the PhariseesG5330, to eatG2068 breadG740 on [the] sabbathG4521, that they wereG1510 watchingG3906 him. 2And beholdG2400, there wasG1510 a certainG5100 dropsical [manG444] before him. 3And JesusG2424 answeringG611 spokeG3004 unto the doctors of the law and PhariseesG5330, sayingG3004, Is it lawfulG1832 to healG2323 on the sabbathG4521? 4But they were silentG2270. And taking him he healedG2390 him and let him goG630. 5And answeringG611 he saidG3004 to them, Of which of you shall an ass or oxG1016 fallG4098 into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbathG4521 dayG2250? 6And they were not ableG2480 to answer him to these thingsG3778. 7And he spokeG3004 a parableG3850 to those that were invited, remarking howG4459 they chose out the first placesG4411, sayingG3004 to them, 8WhenG3752 thou art invited by any oneG5100 to a weddingG1062, do not lay thyself down in the first placeG4411 at table, lestG3361 perhaps a more honourable than thou beG1510 invited by him, 9and he who invited thee and him comeG2064 and sayG3004 to thee, GiveG1325 placeG5117 to this [manG3778], and then thou beginG757 with shameG152 to take the lastG2078 placeG5117. 10But whenG3752 thou hast beenG1510 invited, goG4198 and put thyself downG377 in the lastG2078 placeG5117, that whenG3752 he who has invited thee comesG2064, he may sayG3004 to thee, FriendG5384, goG4198 up higher: thenG5119 shalt thou have honour before all that areG1510 lying at table with thee; 11for every one that exaltsG5312 himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exaltedG5312. 12And he saidG3004 alsoG2532 to him that had invited him, WhenG3752 thou makest a dinner or a supperG1173, callG2564 not thy friendsG5384, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor richG4145 neighbours, lestG3361 it may be they alsoG2532 should invite thee in return, and a recompense be madeG4160 thee. 13But whenG3752 thou makest a feast, callG2564 poorG4434, crippled, lameG5560, blindG5185: 14and thou shalt beG1510 blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall beG1510 recompensed thee in the resurrectionG386 of the justG1342. 15And oneG5100 of those that were lying at table with [them], hearingG191 these thingsG3778, saidG3004 to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eatG2068 breadG740 in the kingdomG932 of 1GodG2316. 16And he saidG3004 to him, A certainG5100 manG444 madeG4160 a greatG3173 supperG1173 and invited manyG4183. 17And he sentG649 his bondman at the hourG5610 of supperG1173 to sayG3004 to those who wereG1510 invited, ComeG2064, for alreadyG2235 all things areG1510 readyG2092. 18And all beganG757, without exception, to excuse themselves. The firstG4413 saidG3004 to him, I have boughtG59 landG68, and I must goG1831 out and seeG3708 it; I pray thee holdG2192 me for excused. 19And another saidG3004, I have boughtG59 fiveG4002 yoke of oxenG1016, and I goG4198 to prove them; I pray thee holdG2192 me for excused. 20And another saidG3004, I have marriedG1060 a wifeG1135, and on this accountG1223 I cannot comeG2064. 21And the bondman cameG1831 up and broughtG1521 back wordG518 of these thingsG3778 to his lordG2962. Then the masterG2962 of the houseG3617, in anger, saidG3004 to his bondman, GoG1831 out quickly into the streetsG4505 and lanes of the cityG4172, and bringG1521 hereG5602 the poorG4434 and crippled and lameG5560 and blindG5185. 22And the bondman saidG3004, SirG2962, it isG1510 done as thou hast commandedG2004, and there isG1510 stillG2089 room. 23And the lordG2962 saidG3004 to the bondman, GoG1831 out into the waysG3598 and fences and compelG315 to comeG1831 in, that my houseG3624 may be filledG1072; 24for I sayG3004 to you, that not oneG3762 of those menG435 who were invited shall tasteG1089 of my supperG1173. 25And greatG4183 crowdsG3793 went with him; and, turningG4762 round, he saidG3004 to them, 26If any man comeG2064 to me, and shall not hateG3404 his ownG1438 fatherG3962 and motherG3384, and wifeG1135, and childrenG5043, and brothersG80, and sistersG79, yea, and his ownG1438 lifeG5590 too, he cannot beG1510 my discipleG3101; 27and whoever does not carryG941 his crossG4716 and comeG2064 after me cannot beG1510 my discipleG3101. 28For which of you, desirous of buildingG3618 a towerG4444, does not firstG4413 sitG2523 downG2523 and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it; 29in orderG2443 that, having laidG5087 the foundationG2310 of it, and not being ableG2480 to finishG1615 it, all who seeG2334 it do not beginG757 to mockG1702 at him, 30sayingG3004, This manG444 beganG757 to buildG3618 and was not ableG2480 to finishG1615? 31Or what kingG935, goingG4198 on his way to engage in warG4171 with another kingG935, does not, sittingG2523 downG2523 firstG4413, take counsel whether he isG1510 ableG1415 with tenG1176 thousandG5505 to meet him comingG2064 against him with twentyG1501 thousandG5505? 32and if not, while he isG1510 yet farG4206 off, having sentG649 an embassy, he asksG2065 for terms of peaceG1515. 33Thus thenG3767 every oneG3739 of you who forsakes not all that isG1510 his ownG1438 cannot beG1510 my discipleG3101. 34SaltG217 [then] [is] goodG2570, but if the saltG217 alsoG2532 has becomeG3471 savourless, wherewith shall it be seasonedG741? 35It isG1510 proper neither for landG1093 nor for dung; it isG1510 castG906 out. He that hath earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
