Luke:14:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass ,
as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath ,
that they watched him .
*
And ,
behold ,
there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy .
*
And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees ,
saying ,
Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath ?
*
And they held their peace .
And he took ,
and healed him ,
and let him go ;
*
And answered them ,
saying ,
Which of you shall have a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit ,
and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day ?
*
And they could not answer him again to these things .
*
And he put forth a parable to those who were invited ,
when he marked how they chose out the best places ;
saying to them ,
*
When thou art invited by any to a wedding ,
sit not down in the best place ;
lest a more honourable man than thou be invited by him ;
*
And he that invited thee and him shall come and say to thee ,
Give this man place ;
and thou begin with shame to take the lowest place .
*
But when thou art invited ,
go and sit down in the lowest place ;
that when he that invited thee cometh ,
he may say to thee ,
Friend ,
go up higher :
then shalt thou have honour in the presence of them that sit eating with thee .
*
For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased ;
and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted .
*
Then said he also to him that invited him ,
When thou givest a dinner or a supper ,
call not thy friends ,
nor thy brethren ,
neither thy kinsmen ,
nor rich neighbours ;
lest they also bid thee again ,
and a recompence be made thee .
*
But when thou givest a feast ,
call the poor ,
the maimed ,
the lame ,
the blind :
*
And thou shalt be blessed ;
for they cannot recompense thee :
for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just .
