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.
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 Behold, there in front of him was a man who was suffering from edema.
And behold a man certain there was with dropsy before Him.
3 Jesus asked the experts in the Jewish law and the Pharisees, “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 kept silent. So Jesus took hold of him, healed him, and sent him away.
But they were silent. And having taken hold [of him] He healed him and let [him] go.
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?”
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 They were not able to give an answer to these things.
And not they were able to reply (to him *k) to these things.
7 When Jesus noticed how those who were invited chose the seats of honor, he spoke a parable, saying 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
For everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and the [one] humbling himself will be exalted.
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.
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 give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and 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 cannot repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the just.”
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 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!”
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 Jesus said to him, “A certain man prepared a large dinner and invited many.
But He said to him; A man certain (was preparing *N+kO) a supper great and invited many;
17 When the dinner was prepared, he sent his servant to say to those who were invited, 'Come, because everything is now ready.'
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 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.'
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 pairs of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.'
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 Then another man 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 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.'
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, 'Master, what you commanded has been done, and yet 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 master 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 say to you, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.'”
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, and 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, and even his own life, 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 carry 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 who desires to build a tower does not first sit down and count the cost to calculate if he has what he needs 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 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it will begin 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 take advice about whether he is able with ten thousand men to fight the other king who comes against him with twenty thousand men?
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 If not, while the other army is still far away, he sends a delegation 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, any one of you who does not give up all that he has 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 has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again?
Good [is] (therefore *NO) the salt; if however (even *no) the salt shall become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?
35 It is of no use for the soil or even for the manure pile. It is thrown away. 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.
