1 And note as He went into the house of one of the
chief of the pharisees to eat note on the sabbath-day, and
they were watching Him,
2 note behold, there was a certain
man before Him that had a dropsy.
3 And Jesus note spake
to the expounders of the law and to the pharisees, saying,
Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath-day?
4 but they note made
no answer. And He took him and healed him, and
sent him away:
5 and note said unto them, Which of you
shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not
immediately draw him out even on the sabbath-day?
6 and
they were not able to answer Him again to these things.
7 And He spake a parable to those that were invited,
observing how they chose note the chief seats, saying unto
them,
8 When thou art invited by any one to a wedding,
do not sit down in the uppermost place, least one more
honorable than thou be invited by him;
9 and he who
invited thee and him, should come and say to thee, Give
place to this person, and then thou begin with shame to
take the lowest place.
10 But when thou art invited, go
and sit down at the lowest place, that, when he who
invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up
higher: then wilt thou have honor note before them that
sit at table with thee:
11 for whosoever exalteth himself
shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall
be exalted.
12 noteHe said also to him that had invited Him, When
thou makest a dinner or a supper, do not invite thy
friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor thy rich
neighbors; least they note invite thee again, and so a note return
be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast,
invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind;
and thou shalt be happy;
14 because they have not wherewith
-- --
to requite thee: for a recompense shall be given
thee at the resurrection of the just.
15 And one of those;18Q0007 who sat at table with Him, hearing
these things, said unto Him, Happy is he that shall
eat bread in the kingdom of God. note
16 Upon which He
said, note A certain man made a great supper and invited
many;
17 and sent his servant at supper-time to say to
them that were invited, Come, for all things are now
ready.
18 And they all with one consent began to make
excuses; the first said, note I have bought a field, and I
note must go and see it, note pray note have me excused.
19 And
another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am
going to try them, note pray note have me excused.
20 And
another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I
cannot come. note
21 So the servant came and told his lord
these things. Then the master of the house being angry
said to his servant, Go note directly into the streets and
lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the
maimed, and the lame, and the blind.
22 And the servant
said, Sir, it is done note according to thine order, and still
there is room.
23 And the lord said to the servant, Go
out into the high-ways and hedges, and note press them to
come in, that my house may be filled:
24 for I tell
you, that none of those men who were invited, shall
taste of my supper.
25 Now there were great multitudes going along with
Him:
26 note so he turned and said to them, If any man come
to me, and does not comparatively hate his father, and
mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and
sisters, yea and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and
note follow me, cannot be my disciple.
28 For who of you that
hath a mind to build a note tower does not first sit down
and calculate the expence, whether he hath wherewithal
to perfect it?
29 least having laid a foundation and not
being able to finish,
30 all that see it, should note deride him, saying,
note this man began to build and was not able to finish.
31 Or what king, going to engage with another king
in note battle, doth not sit down first and consult, whether
-- --
he be able with ten thousand men to meet him that
cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 and if not,
while he is yet far off, he sendeth an embassy, and desireth
conditions of peace.
33 So, note every one of you, that
doth not give up all note that he hath, cannot be my disciple.
34 Salt is good; but if the salt have lost it's savor,
wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 it is neither fit for the
land, nor for the dunghil; but they throw it note away.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
