Revised Literal Translation

1AndG2532 it came to passG1096, as heG846 wentG2064 intoG1519 the houseG3624 of oneG5100 of the chiefG3588G758 PhariseesG3588G5330 to eatG5315 breadG740 on the sabbath dayG4521, thatG2532 theyG846 watchedG3906 himG846. 2AndG2532, beholdG3708, there wasG1510 a certainG5100 manG444 beforeG1715 himG846 which had the dropsyG5203. 3AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 answeringG611 spakeG3004 untoG4314 the lawyersG3544 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, sayingG3004, Is it lawfulG1832 to healG2323 on the sabbath dayG3588G4521? 4AndG1161 they held their peaceG2270. AndG2532 he tookG1949 him, and healedG2390 himG846, andG2532 let him goG630; 5AndG2532 answeredG611 themG846, sayingG3004, WhichG5101 of youG4771 shall haveG1706 a donkeyG3688 orG2228 an oxG1016 fallenG1706 intoG1519 a pitG5421, andG2532 will notG3756 straightwayG2112 pullG385 himG846 outG385 onG1722 the sabbathG3588G4521 dayG3588G2250? 6AndG2532 they couldG2480 notG3756 answerG470 himG846 againG470 toG4314 these thingsG3778.

7AndG1161 he put forthG3004 a parableG3850 toG4314 those whichG3588 were biddenG2564, when he markedG1907 howG4459 they chose outG1586 the chief roomsG3588G4411; sayingG3004 untoG4314 themG846, 8WhenG3752 thou art biddenG2564 ofG5259 anyG5100 man toG1519 a weddingG1062, sitG2625 notG3361 downG2625 inG1519 the highest roomG3588G4411; lestG3379 a more honourable manG1784 than thouG4771 beG1510 biddenG2564 ofG5259 himG846; 9AndG2532 heG3588 that badeG2564 theeG4771 andG2532 himG846 comeG2064 and sayG2046 to theeG4771, GiveG1325 this manG3778 placeG5117; andG2532 thouG756 beginG756 withG3326 shameG152 to takeG2722 the lowestG2078 roomG5117. 10ButG235 whenG3752 thou art biddenG2564, goG4198 and sit downG377 inG1519 the lowestG2078 roomG5117; thatG2443 whenG3752 he that badeG2564 theeG4771 comethG2064, he may sayG3004 unto theeG4771, FriendG5384, go upG4320 higherG511: thenG5119 shaltG1510 thouG4771 have worshipG1391 in the presenceG1799 of them thatG3588 sit at meat withG4873 theeG4771. 11ForG3754 whosoeverG3956 exaltethG5312 himselfG1438 shall be abasedG5013; andG2532 he thatG3588 humblethG5013 himselfG1438 shall be exaltedG5312. 12

ThenG1161 said heG3004 alsoG2532 to himG846 thatG3588 bade himG2564, WhenG3752 thou makestG4160 a dinnerG712 orG2228 a supperG1173, callG5455 notG3361 thyG4771 friendsG5384, norG3366 thyG4771 brethrenG3588G80, neitherG3366 thyG4771 kinsmenG4773, norG3366 thy richG4145 neighboursG1069; lestG3379 theyG846 alsoG2532 bidG479 theeG4771 againG479, andG2532 a recompenceG468 be madeG1096 theeG4771. 13ButG235 whenG3752 thou makestG4160 a feastG1403, callG2564 the poorG4434, the maimedG376, the lameG5560, the blindG5185: 14AndG2532 thouG4771 shalt beG1510 blessedG3107; forG3754 they cannotG2192 recompenseG467 theeG4771: forG1063 thou shalt be recompensedG467 atG1722 the resurrectionG3588G386 of the justG1342.

15AndG1161 when oneG5100 of them thatG3588 sat at meat with himG4873 heardG191 these thingsG3778, he saidG3004 unto himG846, BlessedG3107 is he thatG3739 shall eatG5315 breadG740 inG1722 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316. 16ThenG1161 said heG3004 unto himG846, A certainG5100 manG444 madeG4160 a greatG3173 supperG1173, andG2532 badeG2564 manyG4183: 17AndG2532 sentG649 hisG846 servantG3588G1401 at supperG3588G1173 timeG3588G5610 to sayG3004 to them thatG3588 were biddenG2564, ComeG2064; forG3754 all thingsG3956 areG1510 nowG2235 readyG2092. 18AndG2532 they allG3956 withG575 oneG1520 consent beganG756 to make excuseG3868. The firstG4413 saidG3004 unto himG846, I have boughtG59 a piece of groundG68, andG2532 I must needsG318 goG1831 andG2532 seeG3708 itG846: I prayG2065 theeG4771 haveG2192 meG1473 excusedG3868. 19AndG2532 anotherG2087 saidG3004, I have boughtG59 fiveG4002 yokeG2201 of oxenG1016, andG2532 I goG4198 to proveG1381 themG846: I prayG2065 theeG4771 haveG2192 meG1473 excusedG3868. 20AndG2532 anotherG2087 saidG3004, I have marriedG1060 a wifeG1135, andG2532 thereforeG1223 I cannotG1410 comeG2064. 21SoG2532 thatG1565 servantG3588G1401 cameG3854, and shewedG518 hisG846 lordG3588G2962 these thingsG3778. ThenG5119 the master of the houseG3588G3617 being angryG3710 saidG3004 to hisG846 servantG3588G1401, Go outG1831 quicklyG5030 intoG1519 the streetsG3588G4113 andG2532 lanesG4505 of the cityG3588G4172, andG2532 bring inG1521 hitherG5602 the poorG3588G4434, andG2532 the maimedG376, andG2532 the haltG5560, andG2532 the blindG5185. 22AndG2532 the servantG3588G1401 saidG3004, LordG2962, it is doneG1096 asG5613 thou hast commandedG2004, andG2532 yetG2089 there isG1510 roomG5117. 23AndG2532 the lordG3588G2962 saidG3004 untoG4314 the servantG3588G1401, Go outG1831 intoG1519 the highwaysG3588G3598 andG2532 hedgesG5418, andG2532 compelG315 them to come inG1525, thatG2443 myG1473 houseG3588G3624 may be filledG1072. 24ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 noneG3762 of thoseG1565 menG3588G435 whichG3588 were biddenG2564 shall tasteG1089 of myG1473 supperG3588G1173.

25AndG1161 there wentG4848 greatG4183 multitudesG3793 withG4848 himG846: andG2532 he turnedG4762, and saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, 26IfG1487 anyG5100 man comeG2064 toG4314 meG1473, andG2532 hateG3404 notG3756 hisG1438 fatherG3588G3962, andG2532 motherG3588G3384, andG2532 wifeG3588G1135, andG2532 childrenG3588G5043, andG2532 brethrenG3588G80, andG2532 sistersG3588G79, yeaG2089, andG1161 his ownG1438 lifeG5590 alsoG2532, he cannotG1410 beG1510 myG1473 discipleG3101. 27AndG2532 whosoeverG3748 dothG941 notG3756 bearG941 hisG846 crossG3588G4716, andG2532 comeG2064 afterG3694 meG1473, cannotG1410 beG1510 myG1473 discipleG3101. 28ForG1063 whichG5101 ofG1537 youG4771, intendingG2309 toG4314 buildG3618 a towerG4444, sittethG2523 notG3780 downG2523 firstG4412, and countethG5585 the costG3588G1160, whetherG1487 he haveG2192 sufficient to finishG535 it? 29LestG3379 haplyG2443, after heG846 hath laidG5087 the foundationG2310, andG2532 isG2480 notG3361 ableG2480 to finishG1615 it, allG3956 that beholdG2334 it beginG756 to mockG1702 himG846, 30SayingG3004, ThisG3778 manG3588G444 beganG756 to buildG3618, andG2532 wasG2480 notG3756 ableG2480 to finishG1615. 31OrG2228 whatG5101 kingG935, goingG4198 to makeG4820 warG4171 againstG1519 anotherG2087 kingG935, sittethG2523 notG3780 downG2523 firstG4412, and consultethG1011 whetherG1487 he beG1510 ableG1415 withG1722 tenG1176 thousandG5505 to meet himG528 thatG3588 comethG2064 againstG1909 himG846 withG3326 twentyG1501 thousandG5505? 32OrG1161 elseG1487, while the otherG846 isG1510 yetG2089 a great way offG4206, he sendethG649 an ambassageG4242, and desireth conditionsG2065 ofG4314 peaceG1515. 33SoG3767 likewiseG3779, whosoever heG3956 be ofG1537 youG4771 thatG3739 forsakethG657 notG3756 allG3956 that he hathG5225, he cannotG1410 beG1510 myG1473 discipleG3101.

34SaltG3588G217 is goodG2570: butG1161 ifG1437 the saltG3588G217 have lost his savourG3471, wherewithG5101 shall it be seasonedG741? 35It isG1510 neitherG3777 fitG2111 forG1519 the landG1093, nor yetG3777 forG1519 the dunghillG2874; but men castG906 itG846 outG1854. He thatG3588 hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
