* And it came to pass (5633 ), as he went (5629 ) into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat (5629 ) bread on the sabbath day , that they watched (5713 ) (5734 ) him . * And , behold (5628 ), there was (5713 ) a certain man before him which had the dropsy . * And Jesus answering (5679 ) spake (5627 ) unto the lawyers and Pharisees , saying (5723 ), Is it lawful (5748 ) to heal (5721 ) on the sabbath day ? * And they held their peace (5656 ). And he took (5637 ) him , and healed (5662 ) him , and let him go (5656 ); * And answered (5679 ) them , saying (5627 ), Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen (5695 ) into a pit , and will not straightway pull him out (5692 ) on the sabbath day ? * And they could (5656 ) not answer him again (5677 ) to these things . * And he put forth (5707 ) a parable to those which were bidden (5772 ), when he marked (5723 ) how they chose out (5710 ) the chief rooms ; saying (5723 ) unto them , * When thou art bidden (5686 ) of any man to a wedding , sit not down (5686 ) in the highest room ; lest a more honourable man than thou be (5753 ) bidden (5772 ) of him ; * And he that bade (5660 ) thee and him come (5631 ) and say (5692 ) to thee , Give (5628 ) this man place ; and thou begin (5672 ) with shame to take (5721 ) the lowest room . * But when thou art bidden (5686 ), go (5679 ) and sit down (5657 ) in the lowest room ; that when he that bade (5761 ) thee cometh (5632 ), he may say (5632 ) unto thee , Friend , go up (5628 ) higher : then shalt thou have (5704 ) worship in the presence of them that sit at meat (5740 ) with thee . * For whosoever exalteth (5723 ) himself shall be abased (5701 ); and he that humbleth (5723 ) himself shall be exalted (5701 ). * Then said he (5707 ) also to him that bade (5761 ) him , When thou makest (5725 ) a dinner or a supper , call (5720 ) not thy friends , nor thy brethren , neither thy kinsmen , nor thy rich neighbours ; lest they also bid thee again (5661 ), and a recompence be made (5638 ) thee . * But when thou makest (5725 ) a feast , call (5720 ) the poor , the maimed , the lame , the blind : * And thou shalt be (5704 ) blessed ; for they cannot (5719 ) recompense (5629 ) thee : for thou shalt be recompensed (5701 ) at the resurrection of the just .
