ylt @Luke:14:1 @And it came to pass , on his going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees , on a sabbath , to eat bread , that they were watching him , ylt @Luke:14:2 @and lo , there was a certain dropsical man before him ; ylt @Luke:14:3 @and Jesus answering spake to the lawyers and Pharisees , saying , 'Is it lawful on the sabbath-day to heal ?' ylt @Luke:14:4 @and they were silent , and having taken hold of [him ], he healed him , and let [him ] go ; ylt @Luke:14:5 @and answering them he said , 'Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a pit , and he will not immediately draw it up on the sabbath-day ?' ylt @Luke:14:6 @and they were not able to answer him again unto these things . ylt @Luke:14:7 @And he spake a simile unto those called , marking how they were choosing out the first couches , saying unto them , ylt @Luke:14:8 @'When thou mayest be called by any one to marriage-feasts , thou mayest not recline on the first couch , lest a more honourable than thou may have been called by him , ylt @Luke:14:9 @and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to thee , Give to this one place , and then thou mayest begin with shame to occupy the last place . ylt @Luke:14:10 @'But , when thou mayest be called , having gone on , recline in the last place , that when he who called thee may come , he may say to thee , Friend , come up higher ; then thou shalt have glory before those reclining with thee ; ylt @Luke:14:11 @because every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled , and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted .' ylt @Luke:14:12 @And he said also to him who did call him , 'When thou mayest make a dinner or a supper , be not calling thy friends , nor thy brethren , nor thy kindred , nor rich neighbours , lest they may also call thee again , and a recompense may come to thee ; ylt @Luke:14:13 @but when thou mayest make a feast , be calling poor , maimed , lame , blind , ylt @Luke:14:14 @and happy thou shalt be , because they have not to recompense thee , for it shall be recompensed to thee in the rising again of the righteous .'
