Luke 14

1 And it came to pass, on His going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a Sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching Him,

And it chaunsed that he went into the housse of one of ye chefe pharises to eate breed on a saboth daye: and they watched him.

2 and behold, there was a certain dropsical man before Him;

And beholde ther was a man before him which had the dropsye.

3 and Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

And Iesus answered and spake vnto the lawears and pharises sayinge: is it laufull to heale on the saboth daye?

4 And they were silent, and having taken hold of [him], He healed him, and let [him] go;

And they helde their peace. And he toke him and healed him and let him goo:

5 and answering them He said, “Of which of you will a donkey or ox fall into a pit, and he will not immediately draw it up on the Sabbath day?”

and answered the sayinge whiche of you shall have an asse or an oxe fallen into a pitt and will not strayght waye pull him out on the Saboth daye?

6 And they were not able to answer Him again to these things.

And they coulde not answer him agayne to that.

7 And He spoke an allegory to those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying to them,

He put forthe a similitude to ye gestes whe he marked how they preased to the hyest roumes and sayd vnto the:

8 “When you may be called by anyone to wedding feasts, you may not recline on the first couch, lest [one] more honorable than you may have been called by him,

When thou arte bidde to a weddynge of eny man syt not doune in ye hyest roume lest a more honorable man then thou be bidden of him

9 and he who called you and him having come will say to you, Give to this one [your] place, and then you may begin to occupy the last place with shame.

and he that bade bothe him and the come and saye to the: geve this man roume and thou then beginne with shame to take the lowest roume.

10 But when you may be called, having gone on, recline in the last place, that when he who called you may come, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; then you will have glory before those dining with you;

But rather when thou arte bidden goo and syt in the lowest roume that when he that bade the cometh he maye saye vnto the: frende syt vp hyer. Then shalt thou have worshippe in the presence of them that syt at meate with the.

11 because everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.”

For whosoever exalteth him sylfe shalbe brought lowe. And he yt hubleth him sylfe shalbe exalted

12 And He also said to him who called Him, “When you may make an early meal or a dinner, do not be calling your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they may also call you again, and a repayment may come to you;

Then sayde he also to him that had desyred him to diner: When thou makest a diner or a supper: call not thy frendes nor thy brethre nether thy kinsmen nor yet ryche neghbours: lest they bidde the agayne and a recompence be made the.

13 but when you may make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, blind,

But when thou makest afeast call the poore the maymed the lame and the blynde

14 and you will be blessed, because they have nothing to repay you, for it will be repaid to you in the resurrection of the righteous.”

and thou shalt be happy for they cannot recompence the. But thou shalt be recompensed at the resurreccion of the iuste men.

15 And one of those dining with Him, having heard these things, said to Him, “Blessed [is] he who will eat bread in the Kingdom of God”;

When one of them that sate at meate also hearde that he sayde vnto him: happy is he that eateth breed in the kyngdome of God.

16 and He said to him, “A certain man made a great dinner, and called many,

Then sayd he to him. A certayne man ordened a greate supper and bade many

17 and he sent his servant at the hour of the dinner to say to those having been called, Be coming, because now all things are ready.

and sent his servaunt at supper tyme to saye to them that wer bidden come: for all thinges are now redy.

18 And all began with one [voice] to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I bought a field, and I have need to go forth and see it; I beg of you, have me excused.

And they all atonce begane to make excuse. The fyrst sayd vnto him: I have bought a ferme and I must nedes goo and se it I praye the have me excused.

19 And another said, I bought five yoke of oxen, and I go on to prove them; I beg of you, have me excused.

And another sayd: I hove bought fyve yooke of oxen and I goo to prove them I praye the have me excused.

20 And another said, I married a wife, and because of this I am not able to come.

The thyrde sayd: I have maried a wyfe and therfore I cannot come.

21 And that servant having come, told these things to his lord, then the master of the house, having been angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly into the broad places and lanes of the city, and the poor, and maimed, and lame, and blind, bring in here.

And the servaunt went and brought his master worde therof. Then was the good man of the housse displeased and sayd to his servaut: Goo out quickly into ye stretes and quarters of the cite and bringe in hidder the poore and the maymed and the halt and the blynde.

22 And the servant said, Lord, it has been done as you commanded, and still there is room.

And the servaut sayd: lorde it is done as thou comaundedst and yet ther is roume.

23 And the lord said to the servant, Go forth into the ways and hedges, and constrain to come in, that my house may be filled;

And the lorde sayd to the servaunt: Go out into ye hye wayes and hedges and compell the to come in that my housse maye be filled.

24 for I say to you that none of those men who have been called will taste of my dinner.”

For I saye vnto you that none of those men which were bidde shall tast of my supper.

25 And there were going on with Him great multitudes, and having turned, He said to them,

Ther went agreate copany with him and he turned and sayde vnto them:

26 “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be My disciple;

If a man come to me and hate not his father and mother and wyfe and chyldren and brethren and sisters more over and his awne lyfe he cannot be my disciple.

27 and whoever does not carry his cross, and come after Me, is not able to be My disciple.

And whosoever beare not his crosse and come after me cannot be my disciple.

28 For who of you, willing to build a tower, does not first, having sat down, count the expense, whether he has the things for completing?

Which of you disposed to bilde a toure sytteth not doune before and counteth ye cost whether he have sufficient to performe it?

29 Lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him,

lest after he hath layde ye foundacion and is not able to performe it all yt beholde it beginne to mocke him

30 saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

sayinge: this man beganne to bilde and was not able to make an ende.

31 Or what king going on to engage with another king in war, does not, having sat down, first consult if he with ten thousand is able to meet him who is coming against him with twenty thousand?

Or what kynge goeth to make batayle agaynst another kinge and sitteth not doune fyrst and casteth in his mynde whether he be able wt ten thousande to mete him that cometh agaynst him wt. xx thousand.

32 And if not so—he being yet a long way off—having sent a delegation, he asks the things for peace.

Or els whyll ye other is yet a greate waye of he will sende embasseatours and desyre peace.

33 So, then, everyone of you who does not take leave of all that he himself has, is not able to be My disciple.

So lykewyse none of you yt forsaketh not all yt he hath can be my disciple.

34 The salt [is] good, but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?

Salt is good but yf salt have loste hyr saltnes what shall be seasoned ther with?

35 It is neither fit for land nor for manure—they cast it outside. He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”

It is nether good for ye londe nor yet for ye donge hill but men cast it out at ye dores. He yt hath eares to heare let him heare.
