< Luke 14 >

1 And it occurred, that, as he entered the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread, on the sabbath day, they watched him.

2 And lo, a dropsical man was before him.

3 And Jews answered, and said to the Scribes and Pharisees: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

4 And they were silent. And he took him, and healed him, and dismissed him.

7 And he spoke a similitude to the guests that were present, as he noticed how they chose places on the highest couches.

10 But when thou art invited, go and recline on the lowest couch; that when he who invited thee come, he may say to thee: My friend, come up higher and recline. And thou wilt have honor, before all that recline with thee.

12 And he said to him that invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, invite not thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy relatives, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also invite thee, and thou have this recompense.

15 And when one of those reclining heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

18 And they all to a man, began to excuse themselves. The first said to him: I have bought a field, and am constrained to go out and see it. I pray thee, allow me to be excused.

21 And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the lord of the house was angry: and he said to his servant, Go out quickly into the market-places and streets of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the diseased, and the lame, and the blind.
