14One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him carefully.G2532G1096G1722G846G2064G1519G3624G5100G758G5330G5315G740G4521G2532G846G2258G3906G846 2And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy.G2532G2400G2258G5100G444G1715G846G5203 3And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?"G2532G2424G611G2036G4314G3544G2532G5330G3004G1487G1832G2323G4521 4But they remained silent. Then he took him and healed him and sent him away.G1161G2270G2532G1949G2390G846G2532G630 5And he said to them, "Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?"G2532G611G4314G846G2036G5101G5216G3688G2228G1016G1706G1519G5421G2532G385G3756G2112G385G846G385G1722G4521G2250 6And they could not reply to these things.G2532G2480G3756G470G846G470G4314G5023 7Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them,G1161G3004G3850G4314G2564G1907G4459G1586G4411G3004G4314G846 8"When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him,G3752G2564G5259G5100G1519G1062G2625G3361G2625G1519G4411G3379G1784G4675G5600G2564G5259G846 9and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give your place to this person,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place.G2532G2564G4571G2532G846G2064G2046G4671G1325G5129G5117G2532G5119G756G3326G152G2722G2078G5117 10But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you.G235G3752G2564G4198G377G1519G2078G5117G2443G3752G2564G4571G2064G2036G4671G5384G4320G511G5119G4671G2071G1391G1799G4873G4671 11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."G3754G3956G5312G1438G5013G2532G5013G1438G5312 12He said also to the man who had invited him, "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid.G1161G3004G2532G2564G846G3752G4160G712G2228G1173G5455G3361G4675G5384G3366G4675G80G3366G4675G4773G3366G4145G1069G3379G846G2532G479G4571G479G2532G468G1096G4671 13But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,G235G3752G4160G1403G2564G4434G376G5560G5185 14and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just."G2532G2071G3107G3754G3756G2192G467G4671G1063G4671G467G1722G386G1342 15When one of those who reclined at table with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!"G1161G5100G4873G191G5023G2036G846G3107G3739G5315G740G1722G932G2316 16But he said to him, "A man once gave a great banquet and invited many.G1161G2036G846G5100G444G4160G3173G1173G2532G2564G4183 17And at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.'G2532G649G846G1401G1173G5610G2036G2564G2064G3754G3956G2076G2235G2092 18But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused.'G2532G3956G575G3391G756G3868G4413G2036G846G59G68G2532G2192G318G1831G2532G1492G846G2065G4571G2192G3165G3868 19And another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them. Please have me excused.'G2532G2087G2036G59G4002G2201G1016G2532G4198G1381G846G2065G4571G2192G3165G3868 20And another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'G2532G2087G2036G1060G1135G2532G1223G5124G3756G1410G2064 21So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, 'Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.'G2532G1565G1401G3854G518G846G2962G5023G5119G3617G3710G2036G846G1401G1831G5030G1519G4113G2532G4505G4172G2532G1521G5602G4434G2532G376G2532G5560G2532G5185 22And the servant said, 'Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.'G2532G1401G2036G2962G1096G5613G2004G2532G2089G2076G5117 23And the master said to the servant, 'Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled.G2532G2962G2036G4314G1401G1831G1519G3598G2532G5418G2532G315G1525G2443G3450G3624G1072 24For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.'"G1063G3004G5213G3754G3762G1565G435G3588G2564G1089G3450G1173 25Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them,G1161G4848G4183G3793G846G2532G4762G2036G4314G846 26"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.G1536G2064G4314G3165G2532G3404G3756G1438G3962G2532G3384G2532G1135G2532G5043G2532G80G2532G79G2089G1161G1438G5590G2532G3756G1410G1511G3450G3101 27Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.G2532G3748G941G3756G941G846G4716G2532G2064G3694G3450G3756G1410G1511G3450G3101 28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?G1063G5101G1537G5216G2309G3618G4444G2523G3780G2523G4412G5585G1160G1487G2192G4314G535 29Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,G3363G3379G846G5087G2310G2532G2480G3361G2480G1615G3956G2334G756G1702G846 30saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'G3004G3754G3778G444G756G3618G2532G2480G3756G2480G1615 31Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?G2228G5101G935G4198G4820G4171G1519G2087G935G2523G3780G2523G4412G1011G1487G2076G1415G1722G1176G5505G528G2064G1909G846G3326G1501G5505 32And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.G1490G846G5607G2089G4206G649G4242G2065G4314G1515 33So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.G3779G3767G3956G1537G5216G3739G657G3756G3956G5224G1438G3756G1410G1511G3450G3101 34"Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?G217G2570G1161G1437G217G3471G1722G5101G741 35It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."G2076G3777G2111G1519G1093G3777G1519G2874G906G846G1854G2192G3775G191G191
