Luke:14:18-35
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And they all with one consent began to make excuse .
The first said unto him ,
I have bought a piece of ground ,
and I must needs go and see it :
I pray thee have me excused .
*
And another said ,
I have bought five yoke of oxen ,
and I go to prove them :
I pray thee have me excused .
*
And another said ,
I have married a wife ,
and therefore I cannot come .
*
So that servant came ,
and shewed his lord these things .
Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant ,
Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city ,
and bring in hither the poor ,
and the maimed ,
and the halt ,
and the blind .
*
And the servant said ,
Lord ,
it is done as thou hast commanded ,
and yet there is room .
*
And the lord said unto the servant ,
Go out into the highways and hedges ,
and compel them to come in ,
that my house may be filled .
*
For I say unto you ,
That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper .
*
And there went great multitudes with him :
and he turned ,
and said unto them ,
*
If any man come to me ,
and hate not his father ,
and mother ,
and wife ,
and children ,
and brethren ,
and sisters ,
yea ,
and his own life also ,
he cannot be my disciple .
*
And whosoever doth not bear his cross ,
and come after me ,
cannot be my disciple .
*
For which of you ,
intending to build a tower ,
sitteth not down first ,
and counteth the cost ,
whether he have sufficient to finish it ?
*
Lest haply ,
after he hath laid the foundation ,
and is not able to finish it ,
all that behold it begin to mock him ,
*
Saying ,
This man began to build ,
and was not able to finish .
*
Or what king ,
going to make war against another king ,
sitteth not down first ,
and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand ?
*
Or else ,
while the other is yet a great way off ,
he sendeth an ambassage ,
and desireth conditions of peace .
*
So likewise ,
whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath ,
he cannot be my disciple .
*
Salt is good :
but if the salt have lost his savour ,
wherewith shall it be seasoned ?
*
It is neither fit for the land ,
nor yet for the dunghill ;
but men cast it out .
He that hath ears to hear ,
let him hear .
