Luke 14

1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.

And it came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him.

2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.

And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.

3 And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?

4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,

5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?

6 And they could not answer him again to these things.

And they could not answere him againe to those things.

7 And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the best places; saying to them,

He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,

8 When thou art invited by any man to a wedding, sit not down in the best place; lest a more honourable man than thou be invited by him;

When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of him,

9 And he that invited thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.

And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome.

10 But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour in the presence of them that sit eating with thee.

But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.

11 For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.

12 Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou givest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.

13 But when thou givest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,

14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.

15 And when one of them that sat eating with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.

16 Then said he to him, A certain man gave a great supper, and invited many:

Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,

17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were invited, Come; for all things are now ready.

And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.

18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused.

19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them out: I pray thee have me excused.

And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.

20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.

21 So that servant came, and showed 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 here the poor, and the maimed, and the lame, and the blind.

So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.

22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.

23 And 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.

Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.

24 For I say to you, That none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.

For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.

25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,

Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,

26 If any man cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.

27 And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.

28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath sufficient to finish it?

For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,

29 Lest perhaps, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,

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

Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?

31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?

32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth a delegation, and desireth conditions of peace.

Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.

33 So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

34 Salt is good: but if the salt hath lost its savour, how shall it be seasoned?

Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?

35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
