1 And 2532 it came to pass 1096, as 1722 he 846 went 2064 into 1519 the house 3624 of one 5100 of the chief 758 Pharisees 5330 to eat 5315 bread 740 on the sabbath 4521 day, that 2532 they watched 2258 3906 him 846.

2 And 2532, behold 2400, there was 2258 a certain 5100 man 444 before 1715 him 846 which had the dropsy 5203.

3 And 2532 Jesus 2424 answering 611 spake 2036 unto 4314 the lawyers 3544 and 2532 Pharisees 5330, saying 3004, Is it 1487 lawful 1832 to heal 2323 on the sabbath day 4521?

4 And 1161 they held their peace 2270. And 2532 he took 1949 him, and healed 2390 him 846, and 2532 let him go 630;

5 And 2532 answered 611 them 4314 846, saying 2036, Which 5101 of you 5216 shall have an ass 3688 or 2228 an ox 1016 fallen 1706 into 1519 a pit 5421, and 2532 will 385 0 not 3756 straightway 2112 pull 385 0 him 846 out 385 on 1722 the sabbath 4521 day 2250?

6 And 2532 they could 2480 not 3756 answer 470 0 him 846 again 470 to 4314 these things 5023.

7 And 1161 he put forth 3004 a parable 3850 to 4314 those which were bidden 2564, when he marked 1907 how 4459 they chose out 1586 the chief rooms 4411; saying 3004 unto 4314 them 846,

8 When 3752 thou art bidden 2564 of 5259 any 5100 man to 1519 a wedding 1062, sit 2625 0 not 3361 down 2625 in 1519 the highest room 4411; lest 3379 a more honourable man 1784 than thou 4675 be 5600 bidden 2564 of 5259 him 846;

9 And 2532 he that bade 2564 thee 4571 and 2532 him come 2064 and say 2046 to thee 4671, Give 1325 this man 5129 place 5117; and 2532 5119 thou begin 756 with 3326 shame 152 to take 2722 the lowest 2078 room 5117.

10 But 235 when 3752 thou art bidden 2564, go 4198 and sit down 377 in 1519 the lowest 2078 room 5117; that 2443 when 3752 he that bade 2564 thee 4571 cometh 2064, he may say 2036 unto thee 4671, Friend 5384, go up 4320 higher 511: then 5119 shalt thou 4671 have 2071 worship 1391 in the presence 1799 of them that sit at meat 4873 with thee 4671.

11 For 3754 whosoever 3956 exalteth 5312 himself 1438 shall be abased 5013; and 2532 he that humbleth 5013 himself 1438 shall be exalted 5312.

12 Then 1161 said he 3004 also 2532 to him that bade 2564 him 846, When 3752 thou makest 4160 a dinner 712 or 2228 a supper 1173, call 5455 not 3361 thy 4675 friends 5384, nor 3366 thy 4675 brethren 80, neither 3366 thy 4675 kinsmen 4773, nor 3366 thy rich 4145 neighbours 1069; lest 3379 they 846 also 2532 bid 479 0 thee 4571 again 479, and 2532 a recompence 468 be made 1096 thee 4671.

13 But 235 when 3752 thou makest 4160 a feast 1403, call 2564 the poor 4434, the maimed 376, the lame 5560, the blind 5185:

14 And 2532 thou shalt be 2071 blessed 3107; for 3754 they cannot 3756 2192 recompense 467 thee 4671: for 1063 thou 4671 shalt be recompensed 467 at 1722 the resurrection 386 of the just 1342.

15 And 1161 when one 5100 of them that sat at meat with him 4873 heard 191 these things 5023, he said 2036 unto him 846, Blessed 3107 is he 3739 that shall eat 5315 bread 740 in 1722 the kingdom 932 of God 2316.

16 Then 1161 said he 2036 unto him 846, A certain 5100 man 444 made 4160 a great 3173 supper 1173, and 2532 bade 2564 many 4183:

17 And 2532 sent 649 his 848 servant 1401 at supper 1173 time 5610 to say 2036 to them that were bidden 2564, Come 2064; for 3754 all things 3956 are 2076 now 2235 ready 2092.

18 And 2532 they all 3956 with 575 one 3391 consent began 756 to make excuse 3868. The first 4413 said 2036 unto him 846, I have bought 59 a piece of ground 68, and 2532 I must 2192 needs 318 go 1831 and 2532 see 1492 it 846: I pray 2065 thee 4571 have 2192 me 3165 excused 3868.

19 And 2532 another 2087 said 2036, I have bought 59 five 4002 yoke 2201 of oxen 1016, and 2532 I go 4198 to prove 1381 them 846: I pray 2065 thee 4571 have 2192 me 3165 excused 3868.

20 And 2532 another 2087 said 2036, I have married 1060 a wife 1135, and 2532 therefore 1223 5124 I cannot 3756 1410 come 2064.

21 So 2532 that 1565 servant 1401 came 3854, and shewed 518 his 848 lord 2962 these things 5023. Then 5119 the master of the house 3617 being angry 3710 said 2036 to his 848 servant 1401, Go out 1831 quickly 5030 into 1519 the streets 4113 and 2532 lanes 4505 of the city 4172, and 2532 bring in 1521 hither 5602 the poor 4434, and 2532 the maimed 376, and 2532 the halt 5560, and 2532 the blind 5185.

22 And 2532 the servant 1401 said 2036, Lord 2962, it is done 1096 as 5613 thou hast commanded 2004, and 2532 yet 2089 there is 2076 room 5117.

23 And 2532 the lord 2962 said 2036 unto 4314 the servant 1401, Go out 1831 into 1519 the highways 3598 and 2532 hedges 5418, and 2532 compel 315 them to come in 1525, that 2443 my 3450 house 3624 may be filled 1072.

24 For 1063 I say 3004 unto you 5213, That 3754 none 3762 of those 1565 men 435 which 3588 were bidden 2564 shall taste 1089 of my 3450 supper 1173.

25 And 1161 there went 4848 great 4183 multitudes 3793 with him 846: and 2532 he turned 4762, and said 2036 unto 4314 them 846,

26 If any 1536 man come 2064 to 4314 me 3165, and 2532 hate 3404 not 3756 his 1438 father 3962, and 2532 mother 3384, and 2532 wife 1135, and 2532 children 5043, and 2532 brethren 80, and 2532 sisters 79, yea 2089, and 1161 his own 1438 life 5590 also 2532, he cannot 3756 1410 be 1511 my 3450 disciple 3101.

27 And 2532 whosoever 3748 doth 941 0 not 3756 bear 941 his 848 cross 4716, and 2532 come 2064 after 3694 me 3450, cannot 3756 1410 be 1511 my 3450 disciple 3101.

28 For 1063 which 5101 of 1537 you 5216, intending 2309 to build 3618 a tower 4444, sitteth 2523 0 not 3780 down 2523 first 4412, and counteth 5585 the cost 1160, whether 1487 he have 2192 sufficient to 4314 finish 535 it?

29 Lest 3363 haply 3379, after he 846 hath laid 5087 the foundation 2310, and 2532 is 2480 0 not 3361 able 2480 to finish 1615 it, all 3956 that behold 2334 it begin 756 to mock 1702 him 846,

30 Saying 3004, This 3754 3778 man 444 began 756 to build 3618, and 2532 was 2480 0 not 3756 able 2480 to finish 1615.

31 Or 2228 what 5101 king 935, going 4198 to make 4820 war 4171 against 1519 another 2087 king 935, sitteth 2523 0 not 3780 down 2523 first 4412, and consulteth 1011 whether 1487 he be 2076 able 1415 with 1722 ten 1176 thousand 5505 to meet 528 him that cometh 2064 against 1909 him 846 with 3326 twenty 1501 thousand 5505?

32 Or else 1490, while the other 846 is 5607 yet 2089 a great way off 4206, he sendeth 649 an ambassage 4242, and desireth 2065 conditions 4314 of peace 1515.

33 So 3779 likewise 3767, whosoever 3956 he be of 1537 you 5216 that 3739 forsaketh 657 not 3756 all 3956 that he hath 5224 1438, he cannot 3756 1410 be 1511 my 3450 disciple 3101.

34 Salt 217 is good 2570: but 1161 if 1437 the salt 217 have lost his savour 3471, wherewith 1722 5101 shall it be seasoned 741?

35 It is 2076 neither 3777 fit 2111 for 1519 the land 1093, nor yet 3777 for 1519 the dunghill 2874; but men cast 906 it 846 out 1854. He that hath 2192 ears 3775 to hear 191, let him hear 191.
