Luke 14

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.

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

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

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

And answering Jesus spoke to the lawyers and to [the] Pharisees saying; (if *k) Is it lawful on the Sabbath (to heal *N+kO) (or not? *NO)

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

But they were silent. And having taken hold [of him] He 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?"

And (answering *k) to them He said; Which of you (a son *N+KO) or an ox into a pit (will collapse, *N+kO) also surely immediately he will pull up him on day the Sabbath?

6 But they could make no reply to this.

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

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

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

8 "When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by 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 who invited both of you would come and tell you, 'Make room for this person.' Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.

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 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.

But when you may be invited, having gone (do recline *N+kO) in the last place, so that when may come the [one] having invited you, (he will say *N+kO) to you; Friend, do come up higher. Then will be to you glory before (all *NO) those reclining [with] you.

11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

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

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.

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 you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

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

14 and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."

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 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."

Having heard then one of those reclining with [Him] these things he said to Him; Blessed [is he] (who *N+kO) will eat (bread *NK+o) in the kingdom of God.

16 But he said to him, "A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.

But He said to him; A man certain (was preparing *N+kO) a supper great and invited many;

17 And he sent his servant at the hour for supper to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.'

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 They all as one began to make excuses. "The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please 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+kO) (and *k) to see it; I beg of you, do hold me excused.

19 "Another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please 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 "Another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'

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

21 "That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.'

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 "The servant said, 'Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.'

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

23 "The lord said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may 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 tell you that none of those individuals who were invited will taste 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 Now large crowds were going with him. He turned and said to them,

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

26 "If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, 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+kO) even the life his own not he is able to be My disciple.

27 Whoever does not bear his own cross, 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 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete 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 (for *N+kO) [its] completion?

29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock 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 saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish.'

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

31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

Or what king proceeding with another king to engage in war not having sat down first (will take counsel *N+kO) whether able he is with ten thousand (to meet *N+kO) the [one] with twenty thousand coming against him?

32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.

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

33 So therefore whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot 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 if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?

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

35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

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