Luke 14

1 And it came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him.

And it came to pass on the going of Him into a house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread and they themselves were watching Him.

2 And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.

And behold a man certain there was with dropsy before Him.

3 Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?

And answering Jesus spoke to the lawyers and to [the] Pharisees saying; (if *k*) Is it lawful on the Sabbath (to heal *N(k)O*) (or not? *NO*)

4 And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,

But they were silent. And having taken hold [of him] He healed him and let [him] go.

5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?

And (answering *k*) to them He said; Which of you (a son *N(K)O*) or an ox into a pit (will collapse, *N(k)O*) also surely immediately he will pull up him on (*ko*) day the Sabbath?

6 And they could not answere him againe to those things.

And not they were able to reply (to him *k*) to these things.

7 He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,

He was speaking then to those invited a parable remarking how the first places they were choosing out, saying to them;

8 When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of him,

When you may be invited by anyone to wedding feasts, not may recline in the first place, otherwise otherwise [one] more honorable than you may have been invited by him,

9 And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome.

and having come the [one] you and him having invited he will say to you; do give to this one [your] place. and then you will begin with shame the last place to take.

10 But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.

But when you may be invited, having gone (do recline *N(k)O*) in the last place, so that when may come the [one] having invited you, (he will say *N(k)O*) to you; Friend, do come up higher. Then will be to you glory before (all *NO*) those reclining [with] you.

11 For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.

For everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and the [one] humbling himself will be exalted.

12 Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.

He was saying then also to the [one] having invited Him; When you may make a dinner or a supper, not do call the friends of you nor [call] the brothers of you nor [call] the relatives of you nor [call] neighbours rich otherwise otherwise also they themselves may invite in return you and it may become recompense to you.

13 But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,

But when a feast you may make do call [the] poor, [the] crippled, [the] lame, [the] blind.

14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.

and blessed you will be, because nothing they have to repay you; It will be recompensed for to you in the resurrection of the righteous.

15 Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.

Having heard then one of those reclining with [Him] these things he said to Him; Blessed [is he] (who *N(k)O*) will eat (bread *NK(o)*) in the kingdom of God.

16 Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,

But He said to him; A man certain (was preparing *N(k)O*) a supper great and invited many;

17 And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.

And he sent the servant of him at the hour of the supper to say to those invited; do come, for now ready [it] is (all things. *KO*)

18 But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused.

And began with one [voice] all to excuse themselves. The first said to him; A field I have bought and I have need (going out *N(k)O*) (and *k*) to see it; I beg of you, do hold me excused.

19 And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.

And another said; Yoke of oxen I have bought five and I am going to prove them; I beg of you do hold me excused.

20 And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.

And another said; A wife I have married and because of this not I am able to come.

21 So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.

And having come the servant (that *k*) reported to the master of him these things. Then having become angry the master of the house said to the servant of him; do go out soon into the streets and lanes of the city, and the poor and crippled and blind and lame do bring in here.

22 And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.

And said the servant; Sir, it has been done (as *N(k)O*) you did command, and still room there is.

23 Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.

And said the master to the servant; do go out into the highways and hedges and do compel [them] to come in so that may be filled of mine the house.

24 For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.

I say for to you that not [one] of the men of those which invited will taste my supper (many for are called few but chosen. *O*)

25 Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,

Were going with then Him crowds great. and having turned He said to them;

26 If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.

If anyone comes to Me and not he hates the father (of himself *NK(o)*) and the mother and the wife and the children and the brothers and the sisters yes (and *N(k)O*) even the life his own not he is able to be My disciple.

27 And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.

(and *ko*) Whoever not carries the cross (of himself *NK(o)*) and comes after Me, not is able to be My disciple.

28 For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,

Which for of you (who *o*) is desiring a tower to build not first he having sat down he counts the cost whether he has (*k*) (for *N(k)O*) [its] completion?

29 Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,

Thus otherwise otherwise [when] laying of it a foundation and not being able to finish all those seeing [it] may begin him to mock

30 Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?

saying that This man began to build and not he was able to finish.

31 Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?

Or what king proceeding with another king to engage in war not having sat down first (will take counsel *N(k)O*) whether able he is with ten thousand (to meet *N(k)O*) the [one] with twenty thousand coming against him?

32 Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.

lest then except indeed still of him far off being an embassy having sent he asks for peace.

33 So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

So therefore every one of you who not does give up all his own possessions, not is able to be My disciple.

34 Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?

Good [is] (therefore *NO*) the salt; if however (even *no*) the salt shall become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?

35 It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.

Neither [is it] for soil nor for manure fit is it; out they cast it. The [one] having ears to hear he should hear.
