Luke 14

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 And it came to pass as he went into the house of one of the princes of the Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day that they watched him.

2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.

3 And Jesus, answering, spoke unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

4 And they were silent. And he took <em>him</em> and healed him and dismissed him

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 as to these things.

7 And observing how they chose the first seats at the table, he put forth a parable to those who were invited, saying unto them,

8 When thou art called to a wedding by anyone, do not sit down in the highest place, lest a more honourable man than thou be invited of him,

9 and he that called thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place, and thou begin with shame to have the lowest place.

10 But when thou art called, go and sit down in the lowest place that when he that invited thee comes, he may say unto thee, Friend, come up higher; then shalt thou have glory in the presence of those that sit <em>at the table</em> with thee.

11 For whosoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

12 Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen nor <em>thy</em> rich neighbours, lest they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

13 But when thou makest a banquet, 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 those that sat <em>at the table</em> with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed <em>is</em> he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper and called many

17 and sent his slave at supper time to say to those that were called, Come, for all things are now ready.

18 And they all with one <em>consent</em> began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I have need to 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 slave came and showed his lord these things. Then the husband of the house, being angry, said to his slave, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the halt and the blind.

22 And the slave said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

23 And the lord said unto the slave, Go out into the highways and hedges and compel <em>them</em> to come in that my house may be filled.

24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were called shall taste of my supper.

25 And great multitudes went with him, and he turned and said unto them,

26 If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brethren and sisters, and even his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

27 And whosoever does not bear his <em>cross</em> {Gr. stauros – stake} and come after me cannot be my disciple.

28 For which of you intending to build a tower does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has <em>sufficient</em> to finish <em>it</em>?

29 Lest perhaps after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish <em>it</em>, all that behold <em>it</em> 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 does not sit down first and consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand?

32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an embassy and desires conditions of peace.

33 So likewise, any one of you that does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple.

34 Salt <em>is</em> good; but if the salt has lost its savour, with what shall it be seasoned?

35 It is neither good for the land, nor for the dunghill; it is cast out. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

New International Version NIV

1 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched.

2 There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body.

3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.

5 Then he asked them, “If one of you has a childor an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”

6 And they had nothing to say.

7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable:

8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited.

9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place.

10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests.

11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid.

13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,

14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests.

17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’

19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’

21 “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’

22 “ ‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’

23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.

24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’ ”

25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said:

26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.

27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.

28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?

29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you,

30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’

31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace.

33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.

34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?

35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”
