Luke 14:2-14

2AndG2532 beholdG2400, thereG1510 wasG1510 beforeG1715 himG846 aG1510 certainG5100 manG444 whichG444 hadG1510 theG2532 dropsyG5203.

3AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeringG611 spake unto theG3588 lawyersG3544 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, sayingG3004, Is itG1161 lawfulG1832 toG4314 healG2323 onG2228 theG3588 sabbathG4521, orG2228 notG3756?

4ButG1161 theyG846 held theirG846 peace. AndG2532 heG2532 tookG1949 himG846, andG2532 healedG2390 himG846, andG2532 letG630 himG846 goG630.

5AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, WhichG5101 ofG5207 youG5210 shallG2532 have anG2228 ass orG2228 anG2228 oxG1016 fallenG4098 intoG1519 a wellG2532, andG2532 willG5101 notG3756 straightway draw himG846 upG1519 onG1722 a sabbathG4521 dayG2250?

6AndG2532 theyG2532 couldG2480 notG3756 answer againG2532 unto theseG3778 thingsG3778.

7AndG1161 heG846 spake a parableG3850 unto thoseG3588 whichG3588 were bidden, whenG1161 heG846 marked howG4459 theyG846 choseG1586 outG1438 theG3588 chief seats; sayingG3004 unto themG846,

8WhenG3752 thou art bidden ofG5100 anyG5100 manG5100 toG1519 aG1510 marriageG1062 feastG1062, sitG2625 notG3361 downG2625 inG1519 theG3588 chief seat; lestG3361 haply aG1510 moreG1784 honourable manG5100 thanG3361 thou beG1510 bidden ofG5100 himG846,

9andG2532 heG2532 thatG3004 bade thee andG2532 himG846 shallG3778 comeG2064 andG2532 sayG3004 toG3004 thee, GiveG1325 thisG3778 manG3778 placeG5117; andG2532 thenG2532 thou shalt beginG757 withG3326 shameG152 toG3004 take theG3588 lowest placeG5117.

10ButG235 whenG3752 thou art bidden, goG4198 andG2064 sitG377 downG377 inG1519 theG3956 lowest placeG5117; thatG2443 whenG3752 heG3004 thatG2443 hath bidden thee cometh, heG3004 mayG2443 sayG3004 toG1519 thee, FriendG5384, goG4198 upG1519 higherG511: thenG5119 shalt thou haveG1510 gloryG1391 inG1519 theG3956 presenceG1799 ofG1799 allG3956 thatG2443 sitG377 at meatG3588 withG1519 thee.

11ForG3754 everyG3956 oneG1438 thatG3754 exalteth himselfG1438 shallG2532 beG2532 humbledG5013; andG2532 heG2532 thatG3754 humbleth himselfG1438 shallG2532 beG2532 exaltedG5312.

12AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004 toG3004 himG846 alsoG2532 thatG3004 had bidden himG846, WhenG3752 thou makest a dinnerG1173 orG2228 a supperG1173, callG2564 notG3361 thy friendsG5384, norG3366 thy brethrenG80, norG3366 thy kinsmen, norG3366 richG4145 neighbours; lestG3361 haply theyG846 alsoG2532 bid thee againG2532, andG2532 a recompense beG1096 madeG4160 thee.

13ButG235 whenG3752 thou makest a feast, bid theG4160 poorG4434, theG4160 maimed, theG4160 lameG5560, theG4160 blindG5185:

14andG2532 thou shalt beG1510 blessedG3107; becauseG3754 theyG2532 have notG3756 wherewith toG2532 recompense thee: forG1063 thou shalt beG1510 recompensed inG1722 theG3588 resurrectionG386 ofG1722 theG3588 justG1342.
