Luke 14

1 It happened one Sabbath, when he went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees to eat bread, that they were watching him closely.

2 Behold, there in front of him was a man who was suffering from edema.

3 Jesus asked the experts in the Jewish law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?”

4 But they kept silent. So Jesus took hold of him, healed him, and sent him away.

ᎡᎳᏪᏱᏃ ᎤᏅᏁᎢ. ᎤᏂᏴᎲᏃ ᎤᏅᏩᏁᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏚᏲᏎᎢ;

5 He said to them, “Which of you who has a son or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”

6 They were not able to give an answer to these things.

7 When Jesus noticed how those who were invited chose the seats of honor, he spoke a parable, saying to them,

ᎠᎴ ᏚᏟᎶᏍᏔᏁᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏫᎨᏥᏯᏅᏛ, ᏚᎪᎲ ᏓᎾᏑᏰᏍᎬ ᏄᎬᏫᏳᏒ ᏗᏂᏢᏗᏱ, ᎯᎠ ᏂᏚᏪᏎᎴᎢ,

8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the place of honor, because someone may have been invited who is more honored than you.

9 When the person who invited both of you arrives, he will say to you, 'Give this other person your place,' and then in shame you will proceed to take the lowest place.

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

12 Jesus also said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors, as they may also invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

15 When one of them who sat at the table with Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!”

16 But Jesus said to him, “A certain man prepared a large dinner and invited many.

18 They all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please excuse me.'

21 The servant came and told his master these things. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the town and bring in here the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.'

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

31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take advice about whether he is able with ten thousand men to fight the other king who comes against him with twenty thousand men?
