3
And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4
But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him and sent him away.
5
And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit and will not immediately draw him out, on the sabbath day?
6
And they could not answer him to these things.
7
And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:
8
When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him:
9
And he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee: Give this man place. And then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10
But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee.
11
Because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12
And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends nor thy brethren nor thy kinsmen nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee.
13
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind.
