Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of
one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the
sabbath day, that they watched him.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him
which had the dropsy.
3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and
Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the
sabbath day?
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and
healed him, and let him go;
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have
an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not
straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
6 And they could not answer him again to these
things.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were
bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief
rooms; saying unto them,
8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit
not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable
man than thou be bidden of him;
9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to
thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame
to take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the
lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he
may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt
thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at
meat with thee.
11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased;
and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou
makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends,
nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich
neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a
recompence be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the
maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot
recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the
resurrection of the just.
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him
heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he
that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great
supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them
that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 And they all with one consent began to make
excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a
piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I
pray thee have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen,
and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and
therefore I cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these
things. Then the master of the house being angry said
to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and
lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and
the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou
hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into
the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in,
that my house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which
were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he
turned, and said unto them,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father,
and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and
sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my
disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come
after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower,
sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost,
whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and
is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to
mock him,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able
to finish.
31 Or what king, going to make war against another
king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether
he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh
against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off,
he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of
peace.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh
not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his
savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the
dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to
hear, let him hear.
