Luke 14

1 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.

And it came to pass, when he went into the house of a certain man of the chiefs of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

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

And behold, there was a certain man in front of him afflicted with edema.

3 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)

And having responded, Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it permitted to heal on the sabbath?

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

But they were silent. And having taken him, he healed him and released him.

5 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?

And having responded, he said to them, Of which of you will a son or an ox fall into a pit, and he will not straightaway lift him out on the day of the sabbath?

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

And they could not answer him back to these things.

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

And he spoke a parable to those who were invited when he noticed how they chose out the chief places, saying to them,

8 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,

When thou are invited by any man to wedding festivities, do not sit down in the chief place, lest there may be a more honorable man than thou who was invited by him.

9 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.

And he who invited thee and him, having come, will say to thee, Give place to this man, and then thou will begin with embarrassment to take the last place.

10 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.

But when thou are invited, having gone, sit down in the last place, so that when he who has invited thee comes, he will say to thee, Friend, go up higher, then it will be esteem to thee in the presence of those dining with thee.

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

Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.

12 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.

And he also said to the man who invited him, When thou make a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy kinsmen, nor prosperous neighbors, lest they also invite thee in return, and a recompense be made to thee.

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

But when thou make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,

14 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.

and thou will be blessed, because they do not have to recompense thee, for it will be recompensed to thee at the resurrection of the righteous.

15 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.

And a certain man of those dining together having heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the kingdom of God.

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

And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many.

17 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)

And he sent forth his bondman at the hour of the meal to say to those who were invited, Come, because all things are now ready.

18 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.

And they all from one began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a field, and I have need to go out and see it. I ask thee have me excused.

19 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.

And another said, I bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to test them. I ask thee have me excused.

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

And another said, I married a wife, and because of this I cannot come.

21 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.

And that bondman, having come, he informed his lord these things. Then the house-ruler having become angry, he said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the thoroughfares and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and maimed and crippled and blind.

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

And the bondman said, Lord, as thou commanded it has happened, and yet there is room.

23 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.

And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the roads and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

24 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)

For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few chosen.

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

Now many multitudes went with him, and having turned, he said to them,

26 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.

If any man comes to me, and does not regard as inferior his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and besides his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

27 (and *ko) Whoever not carries the cross (of himself *NK+o) and comes after Me, not is able to be My disciple.

And whoever does not bear his cross, and come behind me, cannot be my disciple.

28 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?

For which of you wanting to build a tower, does not, having first sat down, count the cost whether he has the things for completion?

29 Thus otherwise otherwise [when] laying of it a foundation and not being able to finish all those seeing [it] may begin him to mock

So that perhaps, having laid its foundation, and not being able to finish, all those who see begin to ridicule him,

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

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

31 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?

Or what king going to encounter another king in war, will not, having first sat down, consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

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

And if not, while he is still far off, having sent a delegation, he asks the things about peace.

33 So therefore every one of you who not does give up all his own possessions, not is able to be My disciple.

So therefore every man of you who does not renounce all things being possessed by him, cannot be my disciple.

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

The salt material is good, but if the salt material becomes tasteless, by what will it be seasoned?

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

It is fit neither for the land nor for manure; they cast it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
