Luke:14:1-14
rwbs@Luke:14:1 @ 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.
rwbs@Luke:14:2 @ And, behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.
rwbs@Luke:14:3 @ And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
rwbs@Luke:14:4 @ And they held their peace. And he took, and healed him, and let him go;
rwbs@Luke:14:5 @ 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?
rwbs@Luke:14:6 @ And they could not answer him again to these things.
rwbs@Luke:14:7 @ And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the best places; saying to them,
rwbs@Luke:14:8 @ 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;
rwbs@Luke:14:9 @ 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.
rwbs@Luke:14:10 @ 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.
rwbs@Luke:14:11 @ For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
rwbs@Luke:14:12 @ 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.
rwbs@Luke:14:13 @ But when thou givest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
rwbs@Luke:14:14 @ And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
