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.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκόν τινος τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν Φαρισαίων σαββάτῳ φαγεῖν ἄρτον καὶ αὐτοὶ ἦσαν παρατηρούμενοι αὐτόν.

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

καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπός τις ἦν ὑδρωπικὸς ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.

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

Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς νομικοὺς καὶ Φαρισαίους λέγων· (εἰ *k*) ἔξεστιν τῷ σαββάτῳ (θεραπεῦσαι *N(k)O*) (ἢ οὔ; *NO*)

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

οἱ δὲ ἡσύχασαν. καὶ ἐπιλαβόμενος ἰάσατο αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέλυσεν.

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?

Καὶ (ἀποκριθεὶς *k*) πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἶπεν· τίνος ὑμῶν (υἱὸς *N(K)O*) ἢ βοῦς εἰς φρέαρ (πεσεῖται, *N(k)O*) καὶ οὐκ εὐθέως ἀνασπάσει αὐτὸν ἐν (τῇ *ko*) ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου;

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

καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν ἀνταποκριθῆναι (αὐτῷ *k*) πρὸς ταῦτα.

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

Ἔλεγεν δὲ πρὸς τοὺς κεκλημένους παραβολὴν ἐπέχων πῶς τὰς πρωτοκλισίας ἐξελέγοντο, λέγων πρὸς αὐτούς·

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,

ὅταν κληθῇς ὑπό τινος εἰς γάμους, μὴ κατακλιθῇς εἰς τὴν πρωτοκλισίαν, μήποτε μήποτε ἐντιμότερός σου ᾖ κεκλημένος ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ,

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.

καὶ ἐλθὼν ὁ σὲ καὶ αὐτὸν καλέσας ἐρεῖ σοι· δὸς τούτῳ τόπον. καὶ τότε ἄρξῃ μετὰ αἰσχύνης τὸν ἔσχατον τόπον κατέχειν.

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.

ἀλλ᾽ ὅταν κληθῇς, πορευθεὶς (ἀνάπεσε *N(k)O*) εἰς τὸν ἔσχατον τόπον, ἵνα ὅταν ἔλθῃ ὁ κεκληκώς σε, (ἐρεῖ *N(k)O*) σοι· φίλε, προσανάβηθι ἀνώτερον. τότε ἔσται σοι δόξα ἐνώπιον (πάντων *NO*) τῶν συνανακειμένων σοι.

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

ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, καὶ ὁ ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.

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.

Ἔλεγεν δὲ καὶ τῷ κεκληκότι αὐτόν· ὅταν ποιῇς ἄριστον ἢ δεῖπνον, μὴ φώνει τοὺς φίλους σου μηδὲ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου μηδὲ τοὺς συγγενεῖς σου μηδὲ γείτονας πλουσίους μήποτε μήποτε καὶ αὐτοὶ ἀντικαλέσωσίν σε καὶ γένηται ἀνταπόδομά σοι.

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

ἀλλ᾽ ὅταν δοχὴν ποιῇς, κάλει πτωχούς, ἀναπείρους, χωλούς, τυφλούς.

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

καὶ μακάριος ἔσῃ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἀνταποδοῦναί σοι· ἀνταποδοθήσεται γάρ σοι ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τῶν δικαίων.

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.

Ἀκούσας δέ τις τῶν συνανακειμένων ταῦτα εἶπεν αὐτῷ· μακάριος (ὅστις *N(k)O*) φάγεται (ἄρτον *NK(o)*) ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ.

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

Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἄνθρωπός τις (ἐποίει *N(k)O*) δεῖπνον μέγα καὶ ἐκάλεσεν πολλούς·

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

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ τῇ ὥρᾳ τοῦ δείπνου εἰπεῖν τοῖς κεκλημένοις· ἔρχεσθε, ὅτι ἤδη ἕτοιμά ἐστιν (πάντα. *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.

καὶ ἤρξαντο ἀπὸ μιᾶς πάντες παραιτεῖσθαι. Ὁ πρῶτος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀγρὸν ἠγόρασα καὶ ἔχω ἀνάγκην (ἐξελθὼν *N(k)O*) (καὶ *k*) ἰδεῖν αὐτόν· ἐρωτῶ σε, ἔχε με παρῃτημένον.

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

καὶ ἕτερος εἶπεν· ζεύγη βοῶν ἠγόρασα πέντε καὶ πορεύομαι δοκιμάσαι αὐτά· ἐρωτῶ σε, ἔχε με παρῃτημένον.

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

καὶ ἕτερος εἶπεν· γυναῖκα ἔγημα καὶ διὰ τοῦτο οὐ δύναμαι ἐλθεῖν.

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.

καὶ παραγενόμενος ὁ δοῦλος (ἐκεῖνος *k*) ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτοῦ ταῦτα. Τότε ὀργισθεὶς ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης εἶπεν τῷ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ· ἔξελθε ταχέως εἰς τὰς πλατείας καὶ ῥύμας τῆς πόλεως, καὶ τοὺς πτωχοὺς καὶ ἀναπείρους καὶ τυφλοὺς καὶ χωλοὺς εἰσάγαγε ὧδε.

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

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ δοῦλος· κύριε, γέγονεν (ὃ *N(k)O*) ἐπέταξας, καὶ ἔτι τόπος ἐστίν.

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.

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ κύριος πρὸς τὸν δοῦλον· ἔξελθε εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς καὶ φραγμοὺς καὶ ἀνάγκασον εἰσελθεῖν ἵνα γεμισθῇ μου ὁ οἶκος.

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

λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων τῶν κεκλημένων γεύσεταί μου τοῦ δείπνου (πολλοί γὰρ εἰσιν κλητοί ὀλίγοι δέ ἐκλεκτοί. *O*)

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

Συνεπορεύοντο δὲ αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί. καὶ στραφεὶς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς·

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.

εἴ τις ἔρχεται πρός με καὶ οὐ μισεῖ τὸν πατέρα (ἑαυτοῦ *NK(o)*) καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ τὰ τέκνα καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τὰς ἀδελφάς, ἔτι (τε *N(k)O*) καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν ἑαυτοῦ, οὐ δύναται εἶναί μου μαθητής.

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

(καὶ *ko*) ὅστις οὐ βαστάζει τὸν σταυρὸν (ἑαυτοῦ *NK(o)*) καὶ ἔρχεται ὀπίσω μου, οὐ δύναται εἶναί μου μαθητής.

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,

Τίς γὰρ ἐξ ὑμῶν (ὁ *o*) θέλων πύργον οἰκοδομῆσαι οὐχὶ πρῶτον καθίσας ψηφίζει τὴν δαπάνην εἰ ἔχει (τὰ *k*) (εἰς *N(k)O*) ἀπαρτισμόν;

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

ἵνα μήποτε μήποτε θέντος αὐτοῦ θεμέλιον καὶ μὴ ἰσχύοντος ἐκτελέσαι πάντες οἱ θεωροῦντες ἄρξωνται αὐτῷ ἐμπαίζειν

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

λέγοντες ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἤρξατο οἰκοδομεῖν καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσεν ἐκτελέσαι.

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?

ἢ τίς βασιλεὺς πορευόμενος ἑτέρῳ βασιλεῖ συμβαλεῖν εἰς πόλεμον οὐχὶ καθίσας πρῶτον (βουλεύσεται *N(k)O*) εἰ δυνατός ἐστιν ἐν δέκα χιλιάσιν (ὑπαντῆσαι *N(k)O*) τῷ μετὰ εἴκοσι χιλιάδων ἐρχομένῳ ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν;

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

εἰ δὲ μή γε, ἔτι αὐτοῦ πόρρω ὄντος πρεσβείαν ἀποστείλας ἐρωτᾷ τὰ πρὸς εἰρήνην.

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

Οὕτως οὖν πᾶς ἐξ ὑμῶν ὃς οὐκ ἀποτάσσεται πᾶσιν τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ ὑπάρχουσιν, οὐ δύναται εἶναί μου μαθητής.

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

Καλὸν (οὖν *NO*) τὸ ἅλας· ἐὰν δὲ (καὶ *no*) τὸ ἅλας μωρανθῇ, ἐν τίνι ἀρτυθήσεται;

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.

οὔτε εἰς γῆν οὔτε εἰς κοπρίαν εὔθετόν ἐστιν· ἔξω βάλλουσιν αὐτό. ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
