rkjnt Luke:14-15
rkjnt@Luke:14:1 @ And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
rkjnt@Luke:14:2 @ And, behold, there was a certain man in front of him who had dropsy.
rkjnt@Luke:14:3 @ And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, asking, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
rkjnt@Luke:14:4 @ But they held their peace. And he took hold of him, and healed him, and let him go;
rkjnt@Luke:14:5 @ And answered them, saying, If one of you has a son or an ox fall into a pit on the sabbath day, which of you will not immediately pull him out?
rkjnt@Luke:14:6 @ And they could not answer these things.
rkjnt@Luke:14:7 @ And he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honour; saying to them,
rkjnt@Luke:14:8 @ When you are invited by someone to a wedding, do not sit down at the place of honour; for one more distinguished than you may have been invited;
rkjnt@Luke:14:9 @ And he who invited both of you will come and say to you, Give this man your place; and with shame you will begin to take the lowest place.
rkjnt@Luke:14:10 @ But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place; that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher: then you shall have honour in the presence of those who are at the table with you.
rkjnt@Luke:14:11 @ For whoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.
rkjnt@Luke:14:12 @ Then he said to his host, When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers, your kinsmen, or your rich neighbours; lest they invite you in return, and you are repaid.
rkjnt@Luke:14:13 @ But when you have a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
rkjnt@Luke:14:14 @ And you shall be blessed; for they cannot repay you: but you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.
rkjnt@Luke:14:15 @ And when one of those who reclined at table with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
rkjnt@Luke:14:16 @ Then he said to him, A certain man made a great banquet, and invited many:
rkjnt@Luke:14:17 @ And at the banquet time he sent his servant to say to those who were invited, Come; for everything is now ready.
rkjnt@Luke:14:18 @ And they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land, and I must go and see it: Please excuse me.
rkjnt@Luke:14:19 @ And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out: Please excuse me.
rkjnt@Luke:14:20 @ And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
rkjnt@Luke:14:21 @ So the servant returned, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.
rkjnt@Luke:14:22 @ And the servant said, Lord, it has been done as you have commanded, and yet there is still room.
rkjnt@Luke:14:23 @ And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and along the hedgerows, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
rkjnt@Luke:14:24 @ For I say to you, That none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.
rkjnt@Luke:14:25 @ And great multitudes went with him: and he turned, and said to them,
rkjnt@Luke:14:26 @ If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
rkjnt@Luke:14:27 @ And whoever does not carry his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
rkjnt@Luke:14:28 @ For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has sufficient money to finish it?
rkjnt@Luke:14:29 @ Lest perhaps, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all who behold it will begin to mock him,
rkjnt@Luke:14:30 @ Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
rkjnt@Luke:14:31 @ Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first, and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
rkjnt@Luke:14:32 @ Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation, and asks terms of peace.
rkjnt@Luke:14:33 @ So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has, cannot be my disciple.
rkjnt@Luke:14:34 @ Salt is good: but if it has lost its taste, how shall it be made salty again?
rkjnt@Luke:14:35 @ It is fit for neither the land or the manure pile; it is cast out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
rkjnt@Luke:15:1 @ Then all the tax gatherers and sinners drew near to hear him.
rkjnt@Luke:15:2 @ And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners, and eats with them.
rkjnt@Luke:15:3 @ And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
rkjnt@Luke:15:4 @ What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
rkjnt@Luke:15:5 @ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
rkjnt@Luke:15:6 @ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
rkjnt@Luke:15:7 @ I say to you, that likewise there shall be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who do not need to repent.
rkjnt@Luke:15:8 @ Or what woman, having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds it?
rkjnt@Luke:15:9 @ And when she has found it, she calls her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the coin which I had lost.
rkjnt@Luke:15:10 @ Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
rkjnt@Luke:15:11 @ And he said, A certain man had two sons:
rkjnt@Luke:15:12 @ And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me my part of the estate. So he divided his property between them.
rkjnt@Luke:15:13 @ And not many days after the younger son gathered everything together, and took a journey into a far country, and there wasted his estate with riotous living.
rkjnt@Luke:15:14 @ And when he had spent everything, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
rkjnt@Luke:15:15 @ And he went and hired himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
rkjnt@Luke:15:16 @ And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods the swine were eating: but no man gave him anything.
rkjnt@Luke:15:17 @ And when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough to spare, and I perish with hunger!
rkjnt@Luke:15:18 @ I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight,
rkjnt@Luke:15:19 @ And am no longer worthy to be called your son: treat me as one of your hired servants.
rkjnt@Luke:15:20 @ And he arose, and went to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him.
rkjnt@Luke:15:21 @ And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.
rkjnt@Luke:15:22 @ But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet:
rkjnt@Luke:15:23 @ And bring the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
rkjnt@Luke:15:24 @ For this son of mine was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
rkjnt@Luke:15:25 @ Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
rkjnt@Luke:15:26 @ And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
rkjnt@Luke:15:27 @ And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.
rkjnt@Luke:15:28 @ And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore his father came out, and pleaded with him.
rkjnt@Luke:15:29 @ And he answered his father, Lo, these many years I have served you and never disobeyed your commandment: and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
rkjnt@Luke:15:30 @ But as soon as this son of yours comes home, who has devoured your estate with prostitutes, you kill for him the fatted calf.
rkjnt@Luke:15:31 @ And he said to him, Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.
rkjnt@Luke:15:32 @ But we had to make merry, and be glad: for this brother of yours was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
rkjnt@Luke:16:1 @ And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward, and charges were brought to him that the steward was wasting his goods.
