Luke:14:1-14
rsv@Luke:14:1 @ One sabbath when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him.
rsv@Luke:14:2 @ And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy.
rsv@Luke:14:3 @ And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?"
rsv@Luke:14:4 @ But they were silent. Then he took him and healed him, and let him go.
rsv@Luke:14:5 @ And he said to them, "Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on a sabbath day?"
rsv@Luke:14:6 @ And they could not reply to this.
rsv@Luke:14:7 @ Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose the places of honor, saying to them,
rsv@Luke:14:8 @ "When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him;
rsv@Luke:14:9 @ and he who invited you both will come and say to you, `Give place to this man,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place.
rsv@Luke:14:10 @ But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, `Friend, go up higher'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you.
rsv@Luke:14:11 @ For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
rsv@Luke:14:12 @ He 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 kinsmen or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and you be repaid.
rsv@Luke:14:13 @ But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,
rsv@Luke:14:14 @ and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the just."
