Luke 14

1 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.

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 ther was a man before him which had the dropsye.

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

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

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

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

5 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?

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 coulde not answer him agayne to that.

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

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

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

8 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

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

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 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.

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

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

12 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.

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 afeast call the poore the maymed the lame and the blynde

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

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

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 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.

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 sayd he to him. A certayne man ordened a greate 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 servaunt at supper tyme to saye to them that wer bidden come: for all thinges are now redy.

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 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.

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 sayd: I hove bought fyve yooke of oxen and I goo to prove them I praye the have 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 The thyrde sayd: I have maried a wyfe and therfore I cannot come.

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

21 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.

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

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

23 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.

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 saye vnto you that none of those men which were bidde shall tast 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 Ther went agreate copany with him and he turned and sayde vnto them:

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

26 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.

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 whosoever beare not his crosse and come after me cannot be 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 Which of you disposed to bilde a toure sytteth not doune before and counteth ye cost whether he have 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 after he hath layde ye foundacion and is not able to performe it all yt beholde it beginne 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 sayinge: this man beganne to bilde and was not able to make an ende.

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

31 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.

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

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

33 So lykewyse none of you yt forsaketh not all yt he hath can 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 yf salt have loste hyr saltnes what shall be seasoned ther with?

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

35 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.

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