14:1 And 2532 it came to pass 1096 5633, as 1722 he 846 went 2064 5629 into 1519 the house 3624 of one 5100 of the chief 758 Pharisees 5330 to eat 5315 5629 bread 740 on the sabbath 4521 day, that 2532 they 846 watched 2258 5713 3906 5734 him 846.

14:2 And 2532, behold 2400 5628, there was 2258 5713 a certain 5100 man 444 before 1715 him 846 which had the dropsy 5203.

14:3 And 2532 Jesus 2424 answering 611 5679 spake 2036 5627 unto 4314 the lawyers 3544 and 2532 Pharisees 5330, saying 3004 5723, Is it 1487 lawful 1832 5748 to heal 2323 5721 on the sabbath day 4521?

14:4 And 1161 they held their peace 2270 5656. And 2532 he took 1949 5637 [him], and healed 2390 5662 him 846, and 2532 let him go 630 5656;

14:5 And 2532 answered 611 5679 them 4314 846, saying 2036 5627, Which 5101 of you 5216 shall have an ass 3688 or 2228 an ox 1016 fallen 1706 5695 into 1519 a pit 5421, and 2532 will 385 0 not 3756 straightway 2112 pull 385 0 him 846 out 385 5692 on 1722 the sabbath 4521 day 2250?

14:6 And 2532 they could 2480 5656 not 3756 answer 470 0 him 846 again 470 5677 to 4314 these things 5023.

14:7 And 1161 he put forth 3004 5707 a parable 3850 to 4314 those which were bidden 2564 5772, when he marked 1907 5723 how 4459 they chose out 1586 5710 the chief rooms 4411; saying 3004 5723 unto 4314 them 846,

14:8 When 3752 thou art bidden 2564 5686 of 5259 any 5100 [man] to 1519 a wedding 1062, sit 2625 0 not 3361 down 2625 5686 in 1519 the highest room 4411; lest 3379 a more honourable man 1784 than thou 4675 be 5600 5753 bidden 2564 5772 of 5259 him 846;

14:9 And 2532 he that bade 2564 5660 thee 4571 and 2532 him 846 come 2064 5631 and say 2046 5692 to thee 4671, Give 1325 5628 this man 5129 place 5117; and 2532 5119 thou begin 756 5672 with 3326 shame 152 to take 2722 5721 the lowest 2078 room 5117.

14:10 But 235 when 3752 thou art bidden 2564 5686, go 4198 5679 and sit down 377 5657 in 1519 the lowest 2078 room 5117; that 2443 when 3752 he that bade 2564 5761 thee 4571 cometh 2064 5632, he may say 2036 5632 unto thee 4671, Friend 5384, go up 4320 5628 higher 511: then 5119 shalt thou 4671 have 2071 5704 worship 1391 in the presence 1799 of them that sit at meat 4873 5740 with thee 4671.

14:11 For 3754 whosoever 3956 exalteth 5312 5723 himself 1438 shall be abased 5013 5701; and 2532 he that humbleth 5013 5723 himself 1438 shall be exalted 5312 5701.

14:12 Then 1161 said he 3004 5707 also 2532 to him that bade 2564 5761 him 846, When 3752 thou makest 4160 5725 a dinner 712 or 2228 a supper 1173, call 5455 5720 not 3361 thy 4675 friends 5384, nor 3366 thy 4675 brethren 80, neither 3366 thy 4675 kinsmen 4773, nor 3366 [thy] rich 4145 neighbours 1069; lest 3379 they 846 also 2532 bid 479 0 thee 4571 again 479 5661, and 2532 a recompence 468 be made 1096 5638 thee 4671.

14:13 But 235 when 3752 thou makest 4160 5725 a feast 1403, call 2564 5720 the poor 4434, the maimed 376, the lame 5560, the blind 5185:

14:14 And 2532 thou shalt be 2071 5704 blessed 3107; for 3754 they cannot 3756 2192 5719 recompense 467 5629 thee 4671: for 1063 thou 4671 shalt be recompensed 467 5701 at 1722 the resurrection 386 of the just 1342.

14:15 And 1161 when one 5100 of them that sat at meat with him 4873 5740 heard 191 5660 these things 5023, he said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Blessed 3107 [is] he 3739 that shall eat 5315 5695 bread 740 in 1722 the kingdom 932 of God 2316.

14:16 Then 1161 said he 2036 5627 unto him 846, A certain 5100 man 444 made 4160 5656 a great 3173 supper 1173, and 2532 bade 2564 5656 many 4183:

14:17 And 2532 sent 649 5656 his 846 servant 1401 at supper 1173 time 5610 to say 2036 5629 to them that were bidden 2564 5772, Come 2064 5737; for 3754 all things 3956 are 2076 5748 now 2235 ready 2092.

14:18 And 2532 they all 3956 with 575 one 3391 [consent] began 756 5662 to make excuse 3868 5738. The first 4413 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, I have bought 59 5656 a piece of ground 68, and 2532 I must 2192 5719 needs 318 go 1831 5629 and 2532 see 1492 5629 it 846: I pray 2065 5719 thee 4571 have 2192 5720 me 3165 excused 3868 5772.

14:19 And 2532 another 2087 said 2036 5627, I have bought 59 5656 five 4002 yoke 2201 of oxen 1016, and 2532 I go 4198 5736 to prove 1381 5658 them 846: I pray 2065 5719 thee 4571 have 2192 5720 me 3165 excused 3868 5772.

14:20 And 2532 another 2087 said 2036 5627, I have married 1060 5656 a wife 1135, and 2532 therefore 1223 5124 I cannot 3756 1410 5736 come 2064 5629.

14:21 So 2532 that 1565 servant 1401 came 3854 5637, and shewed 518 5656 his 846 lord 2962 these things 5023. Then 5119 the master of the house 3617 being angry 3710 5685 said 2036 5627 to his 846 servant 1401, Go out 1831 5628 quickly 5030 into 1519 the streets 4113 and 2532 lanes 4505 of the city 4172, and 2532 bring in 1521 5628 hither 5602 the poor 4434, and 2532 the maimed 376, and 2532 the halt 5560, and 2532 the blind 5185.

14:22 And 2532 the servant 1401 said 2036 5627, Lord 2962, it is done 1096 5754 as 5613 thou hast commanded 2004 5656, and 2532 yet 2089 there is 2076 5748 room 5117.

14:23 And 2532 the lord 2962 said 2036 5627 unto 4314 the servant 1401, Go out 1831 5628 into 1519 the highways 3598 and 2532 hedges 5418, and 2532 compel 315 5657 [them] to come in 1525 5629, that 2443 my 3450 house 3624 may be filled 1072 5686.

14:24 For 1063 I say 3004 5719 unto you 5213, That 3754 none 3762 of those 1565 men 435 which 3588 were bidden 2564 5772 shall taste 1089 5695 of my 3450 supper 1173.

14:25 And 1161 there went 4848 5711 great 4183 multitudes 3793 with him 846: and 2532 he turned 4762 5651, and said 2036 5627 unto 4314 them 846,

14:26 If any 1536 [man] come 2064 5736 to 4314 me 3165, and 2532 hate 3404 5719 not 3756 his 1438 father 3962, and 2532 mother 3384, and 2532 wife 1135, and 2532 children 5043, and 2532 brethren 80, and 2532 sisters 79, yea 2089, and 1161 his own 1438 life 5590 also 2532, he cannot 3756 1410 5736 be 1511 5750 my 3450 disciple 3101.

14:27 And 2532 whosoever 3748 doth 941 0 not 3756 bear 941 5719 his 846 cross 4716, and 2532 come 2064 5736 after 3694 me 3450, cannot 3756 1410 5736 be 1511 5750 my 3450 disciple 3101.

14:28 For 1063 which 5101 of 1537 you 5216, intending 2309 5723 to build 3618 5658 a tower 4444, sitteth 2523 0 not 3780 down 2523 5660 first 4412, and counteth 5585 5719 the cost 1160, whether 1487 he have 2192 5719 [sufficient] to 4314 finish 535 [it]?

14:29 Lest 3363 haply 3379, after he 846 hath laid 5087 5631 the foundation 2310, and 2532 is 2480 0 not 3361 able 2480 5723 to finish 1615 5658 [it], all 3956 that behold 2334 5723 [it] begin 756 5672 to mock 1702 5721 him 846,

14:30 Saying 3004 5723, This 3754 3778 man 444 began 756 5662 to build 3618 5721, and 2532 was 2480 0 not 3756 able 2480 5656 to finish 1615 5658.

14:31 Or 2228 what 5101 king 935, going 4198 5740 to make 4820 5629 war 4171 against 1519 another 2087 king 935, sitteth 2523 0 not 3780 down 2523 5660 first 4412, and consulteth 1011 5736 whether 1487 he be 2076 5748 able 1415 with 1722 ten 1176 thousand 5505 to meet 528 5658 him that cometh 2064 5740 against 1909 him 846 with 3326 twenty 1501 thousand 5505?

14:32 Or else 1490, while the other 846 is 5607 5752 yet 2089 a great way off 4206, he sendeth 649 5660 an ambassage 4242, and desireth 2065 5719 conditions 4314 of peace 1515.

14:33 So 3779 likewise 3767, whosoever 3956 he be of 1537 you 5216 that 3739 forsaketh 657 5731 not 3756 all 3956 that he hath 5224 5723 1438, he cannot 3756 1410 5736 be 1511 5750 my 3450 disciple 3101.

14:34 Salt 217 [is] good 2570: but 1161 if 1437 the salt 217 have lost his savour 3471 5686, wherewith 1722 5101 shall it be seasoned 741 5701?

14:35 It is 2076 5748 neither 3777 fit 2111 for 1519 the land 1093, nor yet 3777 for 1519 the dunghill 2874; [but] men cast 906 5719 it 846 out 1854. He that hath 2192 5723 ears 3775 to hear 191 5721, let him hear 191 5720.
