1 And it happened, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

2 And look, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.

3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the Law scholars and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.

5 He answered them, "Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, would not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,

10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

12 He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

15 Now when one of those who were reclining with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God."

25 Now large crowds were going with him. He turned and said to them,
