Luke 14:2-14

2And 1thereG2400 in frontG1715 of Him was a manG444 sufferingG5203 from dropsyG5203. 3And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and spokeG3004 to the 23lawyersG3544 and PhariseesG5330, sayingG3004, “4Is it lawfulG1832 to healG2323 on the SabbathG4521, orG2228 not?” 4But they keptG2270 silentG2270. And He tookG1949 holdG1949 of him and healedG2390 him, and sentG630 him awayG630. 5And He saidG3004 to them, “56WhichG5101 one of you will have a sonG5207 orG2228 an oxG1016 fallG4098 into a wellG5421, and will not immediatelyG2112 pullG385 him out on a SabbathG4521 dayG2250?” 67And they couldG2480 makeG470 noG3756 replyG470 to thisG3778.

7And He began speakingG3004 a parableG3850 to the invitedG2564 guestsG2564 when He noticedG1907 howG4459 8they had been pickingG1586 out the placesG4411 of honorG4411 at the table, sayingG3004 to them, 8“WhenG3752 you are invitedG2564 by someoneG5100 to a weddingG1062 feastG1062, 9do not 10takeG2625 the placeG4411 of honorG4411, for someone moreG1784 distinguishedG1784 than you may have beenG1510 invitedG2564 by him, 9and he who invitedG2564 you bothG2532G846 will comeG2064 and sayG3004 to you, ‘GiveG1325 your placeG5117 to thisG3778 manG3778,’ and thenG5119 11in disgraceG152 you 12proceedG757 to occupyG2722 the lastG2078 placeG5117. 10But whenG3752 you are invitedG2564, goG4198 and reclineG377 at the lastG2078 placeG5117, soG2443 that whenG3752 the one who has invitedG2564 you comesG2064, he may sayG3004 to you, ‘FriendG5384, 13moveG4320 up higherG511’; thenG5119 you will have honorG1391 in the sightG1799 of allG3956 who 14are at the tableG4873 with you. 1115For everyoneG3956 who exaltsG5312 himselfG1438 will be humbledG5013, and he who humblesG5013 himselfG1438 will be exaltedG5312.”

12And He alsoG2532 went on to sayG3004 to the one who had invitedG2564 Him, “WhenG3752 you giveG4160 a luncheonG712 orG2228 a dinnerG1173, do not inviteG5455 your friendsG5384 orG3366 your brothersG80 orG3366 your relativesG4773 orG3366 richG4145 neighborsG1069, otherwiseG3379 they may alsoG2532 inviteG479 you in returnG479 and that will be your repaymentG468. 13But whenG3752 you giveG4160 a 16receptionG1403, inviteG2564 the poorG4434, the crippledG376, the lameG5560, the blindG5185, 14and you will be blessedG3107, sinceG3754 they 17do not haveG2192 the means to repayG467 you; for you will be repaidG467 at 18the resurrectionG386 of the righteousG1342.”
