Luke 14:1-14

Luke 14:1-14

[1] And  it came to pass,  as  he  went  into  the house  of one  of the chief  Pharisees  to eat  bread  on the sabbath  day, that  they  [2] And,  behold,  a certain  man  before  him  which had the dropsy.  [3] And  Jesus  answering  spake  unto  the lawyers  and  Pharisees,  saying,  lawful  to heal  on the sabbath day?  [4] And  they held their peace.  And  he took  him, and healed  him,  and  let him go;  [5] And  them,  saying,  Which  or  an ox  into  a pit,  and  not  straightway  him  out  on  the sabbath  day?  [6] And  they could  not  again  to  [7] And  he put forth  a parable  to  those which were bidden,  when he marked  how  they chose out  the chief rooms;  saying  unto  them,  [8] When  thou art bidden  of  any  man to  a wedding,  not  down  in  the highest room;  a more honourable man  bidden  of  him;  [9] And  he that bade  and  him  come  and say  Give  place;  and  thou begin  with  shame  to take  the lowest  room.  [10] But  when  thou art bidden,  go  and sit down  in  the lowest  room;  that  when  he that bade  cometh,  Friend,  go up  higher:  then  worship  in the presence  of them that sit at meat  [11] For  whosoever  exalteth  himself  shall be abased;  and  he that humbleth  himself  shall be exalted.  [12] Then  also  to him that bade  him,  When  thou makest  a dinner  or  a supper,  call  not  friends,  nor  brethren,  neither  kinsmen,  nor  thy rich  neighbours;  they  also  again,  and  a recompence  be made  [13] But  when  thou makest  a feast,  call  the poor,  the maimed,  the lame,  the blind:  [14] And  blessed;  for  they cannot  recompense  for  shalt be recompensed  at  the resurrection  of the just.
