Luke 14:2-14

2And 1thereG2400 in frontG1715 of Him was a manG444 sufferingG5203 fromG5203 2edemaG5203. 3And JesusG2424 respondedG611 and saidG3004 to the 34lawyersG3544 and 5PhariseesG5330, “6Is 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, “78WhichG5101 one of you will have a sonG5207 orG2228 an oxG1016 fallG4098 into a wellG5421, and will not immediatelyG2112 pullG385 him outG385 on a SabbathG4521 dayG2250?” 69And they couldG2480 offerG470 noG3756 replyG470 to thisG3778.

7NowG1161 He began tellingG3004 a parableG3850 to the invitedG2564 guestsG2564 when He noticedG1907 howG4459 10they had been pickingG1586 outG1586 the placesG4411 ofG4411 honorG4411 at the table, sayingG3004 to them, 8“WheneverG3752 you are invitedG2564 by someoneG5100 to a weddingG1062 feastG1062, 11do not 12takeG2625 the placeG4411 ofG4411 honorG4411, for someone moreG1784 distinguishedG1784 than you may have beenG1510 invitedG2564 by him, 9and the one who invitedG2564 you 13bothG2532G846 will comeG2064 and sayG3004 to you, ‘GiveG1325 your placeG5117 to thisG3778 personG3778,’ and thenG5119 14in disgraceG152 you will proceedG757 to occupyG2722 the lastG2078 placeG5117. 10But wheneverG3752 you are invitedG2564, goG4198 and 15takeG377 the lastG2078 placeG5117, soG2443 thatG2443 whenG3752 the one who has invitedG2564 you comesG2064, he will sayG3004 to you, ‘FriendG5384, 16moveG4320 upG4320 higherG511’; thenG5119 you will have honorG1391 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 allG3956 who are 17diningG4873 at the tableG4873 with you. 1118For everyoneG3956 who exaltsG5312 himselfG1438 will be humbledG5013, and the one who humblesG5013 himselfG1438 will be exaltedG5312.”

12NowG1161 He alsoG2532 went on to sayG3004 to the one who had invitedG2564 Him, “WheneverG3752 you giveG4160 a luncheonG712 orG2228 a dinnerG1173, do not inviteG5455 your friendsG5384, your brothersG80, your relativesG4773, norG3366 wealthyG4145 neighborsG1069, otherwiseG3379 they may alsoG2532 inviteG479 you to a meal inG479 returnG479, and that will be your 19repaymentG468. 13But wheneverG3752 you giveG4160 a 20banquetG1403, inviteG2564 peopleG4434 who are poorG4434, who haveG374 disabilitiesG374, who are limpingG5560, and peopleG5185 whoG5185 areG5185 blindG5185; 14and you will be blessedG3107, sinceG3754 they 21do not haveG2192 the means to repayG467 you; for you will be repaidG467 at 22the resurrectionG386 of the righteousG1342.”
