Luke 14:7-21

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.
