Luke 14

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 And it came about that when he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath, to have a meal, they were watching him.

2 And a certain man was there who had a disease.

3 And Jesus, answering, said to the scribes and Pharisees, Is it right to make people well on the Sabbath or not?

4 But they said nothing. And he made him well and sent him away.

5 And he said to them, Which of you, whose ox or ass has got into a water-hole, will not straight away get him out on the Sabbath?

6 And they had no answer to that question.

7 And he gave teaching in the form of a story to the guests who came to the feast, when he saw how they took the best seats; saying to them,

8 When you get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming,

9 And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.

10 But when you come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.

11 For every man who gives himself a high place will be put down, but he who takes a low place will be lifted up.

12 And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.

13 But when you give a feast, send for the poor and the blind and those who are broken in body:

14 And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.

15 And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.

16 And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people.

17 And when the time had come, he sent his servants to say to them, Come, for all things are now ready.

18 And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

19 And another said, I have got some cattle, and I am going to make a test of them: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

20 And another said, I have been married, and so I am not able to come.

21 And the servant came back and gave his master an account of these things. Then the master of the house was angry and said to the servant, Go out quickly into the streets of the town and get the poor, the blind, and those who are broken in body.

22 And the servant said, Lord, your orders have been done, and still there is room.

23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the roads and the fields, and make them come in, so that my house may be full.

24 For I say to you that not one of those who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast.

25 Now a great number of people went with him.

26 And turning round, he said to them, If any man comes to me, and has not hate for his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and even for his life, he may not be my disciple.

27 Whoever does not take up his cross and come after me may not be my disciple.

28 For which of you, desiring to put up a tower, does not first give much thought to the price, if he will have enough to make it complete?

29 For fear that if he makes a start and is not able to go on with it to the end, all who see it will be laughing at him,

30 And saying, This man made a start at building and is not able to make it complete.

31 Or what king, going to war with another king, will not first take thought if he will be strong enough, with ten thousand men, to keep off him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

32 Or while the other is still a great distance away, he sends representatives requesting conditions of peace.

33 And so whoever is not ready to give up all he has may not be my disciple.

34 For salt is good, but if the taste goes from it, of what use is it?

35 It is no good for the land or for the place of waste; no one has a use for it. He who has ears, let him give ear.

1 4 And it came to pass when he went into a bais of a certain one of the Rashei HaPerushim on Shabbos for betziat halechem, and they were watching him closely,

2 And there in front of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was a certain ish suffering from dropsy,

3 And in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach spoke to the Baalei Torah and Perushim, saying, Is it mutar (permissible) on Shabbos to give refuah or not?

4 But they kept silent. And having taken hold of him, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach granted him refuah and sent him away.

5 And to them Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Who of you having a ben or an ox fall into a well and will not ofen ort (immediately) pull him out on Shabbos?

6 And they were not able to make a counter argument keneged (against) this.

7 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began speaking a mashal to the seudah (banquet supper) invitees, when he noticed how they had been picking out the rashei hamoshavot (chief seats) at the tish, saying to them,

8 When you are invited by someone to a Chasunoh (wedding), you should not recline at tish in the rashei hamoshavot (chief seats), lest a more distinguished person than you may have been invited by him,

9 And he who invited you both shall come and say to you, Give place to this one, and then in bushah (shame) you proceed to occupy the seat of humiliation, the low seat.

10 But when you are invited, go and recline at tish in the moshav hashafel (low seat), so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, Chaver, move up to a higher place; then you will have kavod in the sight of all with you at the tish.

11 For everyone exalting himself shall be humbled, and the one humbling himself shall be exalted.

12 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was speaking also to the one who invited him, When you prepare a seudah or a Melave Malkah, do not invite your chaverim or your achim or your krovey mishpochot (relatives) or your shchenim haashirim, lest they also should invite you in return and repayment come to you.

13 But when you prepare a seudah (feast), invite the aniyim (the poor), the baalei hamum (the maimed), the pisechim (the lame), the ivrim (blind),

14 And Birkat Shomayim (the Blessing of Heaven) will befall you, because they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid in the Yom Tekumat HaTzadikkim (Day of the Resurrection of the Righteous, Rev 20:5).

15 And when a certain one of those reclining at tish with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach heard these things, he said to him, Ashrey is he who will eat lechem in the Malchut Hashem! [YESHAYAH 25:6]

16 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, A certain man was preparing a big seudah, and he invited many;

17 And at the dinner hour, he sent his eved to say to the seudah invitees, Come, because everything is ready now.

18 But each began to come up with a teretz (excuse). The rishon (first) said to him, I bought a sadeh (field) and I am compelled to go out and look at it. Please be mekabel (receive, accept) my teretz.

19 And another said, I have bought chamesh pair of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please be mekabel my teretz (excuse).

20 And another said, I took a wife and therefore I am not able to come.

21 And the eved returned and reported this to his Adon. Then the Baal Bayit became angry and said to his eved, Go out quickly into the rekhovot (streets) and lanes of the shtetl and bring in here the aniyim (the poor) and the baalei hamum (the maimed) and the ivrim (blind) and the pisechim (the lame).

22 And the eved said, Adoni, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.

23 And the Adon said to the eved, Go out to the rekhovot and along the boundaries and urge them to come in, in order that My Beis may be filled.

24 For I say to you that no one of those Bnei Adam who were invited will taste my seudah.

25 And large multitudes were accompanying him, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach turned and said to them,

26 If someone comes to me, and does not hate [hyperbolically, in comparison to Moshiach] his own Abba and Em (mother) and isha and yeladim and achim and achayot and in addition also his own life [in the Olam Hazeh], he is not able to be my [Moshiach’s] talmid.

27 Whoever does not carry his own etz [of self denial] and come after me [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] is not able to be my [Moshiach’s] talmid.

28 For who among you, wanting to build a migdal (tower), will not first sit down and rechen (calculate) the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

29 Otherwise, having laid his yesod (foundation) and not being able to finish it, everyone seeing it may begin to make leitzonus (fun, mockery) of him,

30 Saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish.

31 Or what melech, going out to make milchamah (war) against another melech, will not first sit down and consider if he is able with aseret alafim (ten thousand) to meet the one with esrim elef (twenty thousand) coming against him?

32 Or else, while the other is noch (yet) far away, he sends an embassy delegation and seeks terms for shalom.

33 So, then, none of you can become my talmid if you do not renounce all your [idolatrous] holdings.

34 Therefore, melach (salt) is tov; but if even melach should become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?

35 It is useless either for the land or for the dung hill; they throw it away. The one who has ears to hear, shema!
