One
Sabbath
, Jesus
went to
eat
in
the home
of a leading
Pharisee
, and
those
in
attendance
were watching Him closely
.
It
happened
, when
he
went into
the house
of one
of
the
rulers
of
the
Pharisees
on
a Sabbath
to
eat
bread
, that
they
were watching him.
Right
there
before
Him
was
a man with
dropsy.
Behold,
a certain
man who
had
dropsy was
in
front
of
him
.
So
Jesus asked
the
experts
in
the law
and the
Pharisees, “
Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or
not
? ”
Jesus ,
answering,
spoke
to
the lawyers
and Pharisees, saying,
"
Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? "
But they remained
silent. Then
Jesus
took hold
of
the
man
, healed him, and sent
him on
his
way
.
But they were
silent. He
took him
, and
healed him, and let
him go
.
And
He asked
them, “
Which of you whose
son or ox falls
into a pit
on
the
Sabbath
day
will
not
immediately pull him out? ”
He answered
them, "
Which of you ,
if
your
son or an
ox fell
into a well,
wouldn't
immediately pull him out on
a
Sabbath
day
? "
And
they were
unable
to
answer these questions
.
They couldn't
answer him
regarding
these things
.
When Jesus
noticed how the
guests
chose the places
of
honor
, He
told
them a
parable:
He
spoke
a
parable
to
those
who
were
invited,
when he
noticed how they
chose the best
seats
, and
said
to
them ,
“
When you are invited to a wedding
banquet
, do
not
sit in the place
of
honor
, in
case
someone more distinguished
than you has
been
invited .
"
When you are invited by
anyone
to a marriage
feast
, don't
sit in the best
seat
, since
perhaps
someone more honorable
than you might
be
invited by
him,
Then
the
host
who invited both of you will
come and tell you, ‘Give
this man
your
seat
. ’
And
in
humiliation,
you will
have
to take the last
place.
and
he
who invited both of you would
come and tell you, 'Make
room
for
this person
. '
Then
you would
begin,
with
shame,
to take the lowest
place.
But when you are invited, go and sit in the last
place, so that your
host
will
come
and
tell you, ‘
Friend, move up to
a
better
place
. ’
Then you will be honored in front
of everyone
at the table with you.
But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest
place, so that when
he
who
invited
you
comes,
he
may
tell you, '
Friend, move up higher
. '
Then you will be honored in the
presence
of all
who
sit
at the table with you.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the
one
who
humbles himself will be exalted. ”
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever
humbles himself will be exalted. "
Then
Jesus
said to the man
who had invited Him, “
When you host
a dinner or a banquet
, do
not
invite
your friends or
brothers or
relatives
or
rich neighbors .
Otherwise
, they may
invite
you
in
return, and you will
be
repaid
.
He
also
said to the one
who had invited him, "
When you make
a dinner or a supper
, don't
call
your friends ,
nor
your
brothers ,
nor
your
kinsmen,
nor
rich neighbors, or
perhaps
they might
also
return the
favor
, and pay
you back
.
But when you host
a banquet
, invite
the poor, the crippled
, the lame, and
the blind ,
But when you make
a feast
, ask
the poor, the maimed
, the lame, or
the blind ;
and you will be blessed .
Since
they cannot
repay you ,
you will be repaid at
the resurrection of the righteous. ”
and you will be blessed ,
because
they don't
have
the
resources
to
repay you .
For
you will be repaid in
the resurrection of the righteous. "
When one of those reclining
with Him heard this
, he said to Jesus
, “
Blessed is everyone
who will eat
at
the
feast in the kingdom of God .”
When one of those who
sat
at
the
table
with him heard these
things
, he said to him
, "
Blessed is he
who will feast in the Kingdom of God !"
But Jesus
replied
, “
A certain man prepared
a great banquet
and invited many guests
.
But he
said
to
him
, "
A certain man made
a great supper,
and he
invited many people
.
When
it
was
time
for
the
banquet,
he sent his servant to tell those who had
been
invited, ‘
Come, for everything is now
ready. ’
He sent out
his servant at
supper
time
to tell those who were
invited, '
Come, for everything is ready now
. '
But
one
after
another
they all began to make excuses. The first one
said, ‘
I have bought a field, and I need
to
go see it. Please excuse
me. ’
They all as
one
began to make excuses. "
The first said to
him
, '
I have bought a field, and I must
go and
see it. Please have
me excused
. '
Another said, ‘
I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am
going
to
try them out. Please excuse
me. ’
"
Another said, '
I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must
go
try them out. Please have
me excused
. '
Still
another said, ‘
I have married a wife, so
I cannot
come. ’
"
Another said, '
I have married a wife, and
therefore
I can't
come. '
The
servant returned
and reported
all
this
to
his master
. Then the owner
of the house became
angry and
said to his servant, ‘
Go out quickly into the streets and alleys
of the city, and bring in the poor, the
crippled
, the
blind, and the
lame. ’
"That
servant came,
and told
his lord
these
things
. Then the master
of the house ,
being
angry ,
said to his servant, '
Go out quickly into the streets and lanes
of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed
, blind, and lame. '
‘Sir,’
the servant replied
, ‘what
you
ordered
has
been
done, and there is still room. ’
"
The servant said
, 'Lord,
it
is
done as
you
commanded
, and there is still room. '
So
the master
told
his
servant, ‘
Go out to
the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so
that my house will
be full
.
"
The lord
said
to
the
servant, '
Go out into
the highways and hedges ,
and compel them to come in, that my house may
be filled
.
For I tell you ,
not
one
of those men who were invited will taste my banquet
. ’”
For I tell you that
none
of those men who were invited will taste of
my supper
. '"
Large
crowds
were
now traveling
with Jesus,
and
He turned and said to them,
Now great
multitudes
were
going
with him.
He turned and said to them,
“
If anyone comes to Me and does
not
hate his father and
mother and
wife and
children and
brothers and sisters —
yes, even
his own life —
he cannot
be My disciple.
"
If anyone comes to me ,
and doesn't
hate his own
father ,
mother ,
wife ,
children ,
brothers ,
and sisters ,
yes, and
his own life also,
he can't
be my disciple.
And
whoever does
not
carry
his cross and follow
Me cannot
be My disciple.
Whoever doesn't
bear
his own
cross ,
and come
after
me ,
can't
be my disciple.
Which of you, wishing
to build a tower, does
not
first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the
resources
to complete it?
For
which of you, desiring
to build a tower, doesn't
first sit down and count the cost ,
to see if he has enough
to complete it?
Otherwise
, if
he lays
the
foundation and is unable
to finish the
work
, everyone who sees it
will
ridicule
him,
Or
perhaps
, when
he has
laid
a
foundation ,
and is not
able
to finish, everyone who sees begins
to
mock
him,
saying, ‘
This man could
not
finish
what
he
started
to build. ’
saying, '
This man began
to build ,
and
wasn't
able
to
finish
. '
Or what king on
his
way
to war
with
another king will not first
sit down and consider whether he can
engage
with ten thousand men
the
one
coming
against him with twenty thousand?
Or what king ,
as
he
goes
to encounter
another king in
war,
will not sit down first
and consider whether he is
able
with ten thousand to
meet
him
who
comes
against him with twenty thousand?
And
if
he
is
unable
, he
will
send
a
delegation
while the other king
is still
far
off, to
ask
for terms
of peace.
Or
else
, while the other is yet
a
great
way
off, he
sends
an
envoy,
and
asks
for conditions
of peace.
In
the
same
way,
any
one
of you who does
not
give
up
everything
he has cannot
be My disciple.
So
therefore
whoever
of you who doesn't
renounce
all
that
he has ,
he
can't
be my disciple.
Salt is good, but if the salt loses
its
savor
, with what will
it be
seasoned
?
Salt is good, but if the salt becomes
flat
and
tasteless
, with what do
you
season
it?
It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile ,
and
it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. ”
It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile .
It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. "
