emtv - Luke:14:1-14

emtv@Luke:14:1 @ Now it came to pass, when He came into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they were watching Him closely.

emtv@Luke:14:2 @ And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy.

emtv@Luke:14:3 @ And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"

emtv@Luke:14:4 @ But they were silent. And taking hold of him, He healed him, and let [him] go.

emtv@Luke:14:5 @ Then He answered them, saying, "Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?"

emtv@Luke:14:6 @ And they were not able to answer Him regarding these things.

emtv@Luke:14:7 @ So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the places of honor, saying to them:

emtv@Luke:14:8 @ Whenever you are invited by someone to a wedding celebration, do not sit down in the place of honor, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him;

emtv@Luke:14:9 @ and he who invited you and him shall come and say to you, 'Give place to this [man],' and then you begin with shame to take the last place.

emtv@Luke:14:10 @ But when you are invited, go and sit down in the last place, so that when he who invited you comes, he shall say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will have glory in the presence of those who recline with you.

emtv@Luke:14:11 @ For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted."

emtv@Luke:14:12 @ Then He also said to him who invited Him, "When you give a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.

emtv@Luke:14:13 @ But whenever you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;

emtv@Luke:14:14 @ and you will be blessed, because they do not have [anything] to repay you; for it will be repaid to you in the resurrection of the just."
